## 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 Serper.
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 Serper account. See the [Atomic Agent documentation](https://atomicagent.io/docs/?cta_placement=atomic-agent-docs) for installation instructions.

- [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/serper/framework/hermes-agent)

## TL;DR

### How Atomic Agent connects to Serper
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 Serper to Atomic Agent

### Connect Serper 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 Serper. It searches Composio for the right tool.
- On first use, open the sign-in link returned in the chat. Connect your Serper 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 Serper MCP server, and what's possible with it?

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

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `SERPER_BATCH_SEARCH_WEB` | Batch Search the Web | Run 1-10 independent first-page Google web searches in one native Serper request. Each query consumes one credit, and result envelopes preserve input order. Use SERPER_SEARCH_WEB separately when page continuation is needed. |
| `SERPER_GET_SEARCH_SUGGESTIONS` | Get Search Suggestions | Return Google autocomplete suggestions for a partial search query without running a full search. |
| `SERPER_LIST_LOCATIONS` | List Locations | Find canonical Serper location names and country codes for localizing search requests; this lookup consumes no search credits. |
| `SERPER_LIST_PLACE_REVIEWS` | List Place Reviews | Return paginated Google reviews for one place identified by Place ID, feature ID, or CID, with optional sorting and topic filtering. |
| `SERPER_SCRAPE_WEBPAGE` | Scrape Webpage | Ask Serper to fetch one webpage and return extracted text, metadata, and optionally markdown, links, images, and videos. Difficult pages may cost 6 or 10 credits instead of 2. |
| `SERPER_SEARCH_IMAGES` | Search Images | Search Google Images and return one page of source pages, full image URLs, thumbnails, dimensions, and positions. Requesting 100 results costs 2 credits instead of 1. |
| `SERPER_SEARCH_MAPS` | Search Maps | Search Google Maps by text, Place ID, or CID, optionally constrained to a viewport, and return one page of rich place identifiers and contact details. Each page costs 3 Serper credits. |
| `SERPER_SEARCH_NEWS` | Search News | Search recent Google News coverage and return one page of article titles, links, sources, publication times, snippets, and images when available. |
| `SERPER_SEARCH_SCHOLAR` | Search Scholar | Search Google Scholar and return one page of academic publications with citation counts, publication metadata, snippets, and PDF links when available. |
| `SERPER_SEARCH_SHOPPING` | Search Shopping | Search Google Shopping and return one page of products, prices, merchants, offers, ratings, images, and product IDs. Each page costs 2 credits. |
| `SERPER_SEARCH_WEB` | Search the Web | Search Google web results and return one page of organic links plus available answer, knowledge, question, related-search, and top-story sections. |

## 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.

## Conclusion

### Use Serper from Atomic Agent
With your account connected, ask Atomic Agent to work with Serper 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 Serper MCP?

With a standalone Serper MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Serper tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Serper 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 Serper tools.

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

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Serper 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 Serper data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
