## Introduction

Atomic Agent is an open-source AI agent that runs on your machine and supports local models through llama.cpp. Connect it to 1,500+ apps through Composio, including Search api.
This guide uses Atomic Agent's built-in Composio integration. You need Atomic Agent v0.5.6 or later, your own Composio API key, and a Search api account. See the [Atomic Agent documentation](https://atomicagent.io/docs/?cta_placement=atomic-agent-docs) for installation instructions.

## TL;DR

### How Atomic Agent connects to Search api
Atomic Agent connects to Composio's Tool Router over Streamable HTTP MCP. It discovers the tools needed for your request, and Composio handles account authentication.
Execution and account-connection tools follow Atomic Agent's configured approval policy. Review any approval prompt before allowing an action on your connected account.

## Connect Search api to Atomic Agent

### Connect Search api to Atomic Agent
- Sign up or sign in to the [Composio dashboard](https://dashboard.composio.dev/?cta_placement=atomic-agent-api-key). Copy your API key.
- In Atomic Agent, open the Integrations tab and select Composio. Select API key, press e, paste the key, and press Enter. The tools become available immediately, without a restart.
- Ask Atomic Agent to do something in Search api. It searches Composio for the right tool.
- On first use, open the sign-in link returned in the chat. Connect your Search api account, then return to Atomic Agent to continue.
### Headless setup
Add the following line to ~/.atomic-agent/.env, replacing YOUR_COMPOSIO_API_KEY with your key. Start Atomic Agent after saving the file.

```bash
COMPOSIO_API_KEY=YOUR_COMPOSIO_API_KEY
```

## What is the Search api MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Search api MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Search api account. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Search api operations on your behalf.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `SEARCH_API_GET_ACCOUNT_INFO` | Get Account Info | Tool to retrieve account usage statistics including monthly usage, remaining credits, hourly limits, and subscription period information. Use when you need to check current account status or usage limits. |
| `SEARCH_API_GET_CACHED_SEARCH_BY_ID` | Get Cached Search by ID | Tool to retrieve cached search results by search ID in JSON format. Use when you need to access previously executed search results without re-running the query. The search ID is found in the search_metadata.id or search_metadata.json_url field from initial search responses. Cached results are available for 90 days. |
| `SEARCH_API_GET_CACHED_SEARCH_HTML_BY_ID` | Get Cached Search HTML by ID | Tool to retrieve cached search results by search ID in HTML format. Use when you need to access the raw HTML snapshot of a previous search execution. The search ID is available in the search_metadata.id or search_metadata.html_url field from initial search responses. |
| `SEARCH_API_GET_LOCATIONS` | Get Locations | Tool to get available locations for geo-localized search queries. Use when you need to find location identifiers for targeting Google searches to specific geographic areas. Returns location metadata including identifiers, names, coordinates, and population reach. |
| `SEARCH_API_SEARCH` | Search | Tool to perform unified search across 40+ search engines including Google, Bing, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo, YouTube, Amazon, and more. Use when you need to retrieve search results with rich structured data including organic results, ads, knowledge graphs, local listings, images, videos, and related searches. Supports advanced filtering by location, language, date, device type, and SafeSearch settings. |

## Troubleshooting

### Why is my API key rejected?

Copy the key directly from the Composio dashboard. Atomic Agent requires ASCII characters because it sends the key in an HTTP header. Remove any extra characters introduced when copying.

### Why are Composio tools unavailable after saving a key?

Check that you use Atomic Agent v0.5.6 or later and that Composio is enabled in your configuration. A "composio": { "enabled": false } setting disables the integration while keeping the saved key on disk.

### Does Composio have a free plan?

The Hobby plan includes 100,000 tool calls per month. Composio-managed OAuth apps have a lower included allowance. See [Composio pricing](/pricing) for the current limits that apply to your connection.

## Complete Code

None listed.

## Conclusion

### Use Search api from Atomic Agent
With your account connected, ask Atomic Agent to work with Search api in natural language. You can connect more apps through the same Composio integration as you need them.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Search api MCP?

With a standalone Search api MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Search api tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Search api and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

### Can I use Tool Router MCP with Atomic Agent?

Yes, you can. Atomic Agent fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right Search api tools.

### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Search api while using Tool Router?

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Search api scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do.

### How safe is my data with Composio Tool Router?

All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your Search api data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
