How to integrate Sendbird MCP with Atomic Agent

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 Sendbird.

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 Sendbird account. See the Atomic Agent documentation for installation instructions.

How Atomic Agent connects to Sendbird

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 Sendbird to Atomic Agent

1. Sign up or sign in to the Composio dashboard. Copy your API key.
2. 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.
3. Ask Atomic Agent to do something in Sendbird. It searches Composio for the right tool.
4. On first use, open the sign-in link returned in the chat. Connect your Sendbird 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.

The Sendbird MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Sendbird account. It provides structured and secure access to your in-app chat, voice, and video features, so your agent can perform actions like creating group channels, managing users, moderating conversations, and tracking unread message counts on your behalf.

• Group channel management: Let your agent create new group channels, add or ban members, and delete channels as needed to keep conversations organized and secure.
• User account administration: Automatically register new users or remove users from your Sendbird application, simplifying user lifecycle management.
• Message moderation and cleanup: Empower your agent to delete specific messages—helping enforce community guidelines and remove unwanted content instantly.
• Unread count and status tracking: Retrieve up-to-date counts of unread messages, mentions, and channel invitations for any user to surface important conversations.
• Channel preference insights: Access and update user count preferences in group channels, tailoring notification and message delivery based on user needs.

Use Sendbird from Atomic Agent

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