## 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 Shortpixel.
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 Shortpixel 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 Shortpixel
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 Shortpixel to Atomic Agent

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

The Shortpixel MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your ShortPixel account. It provides structured and secure access to your image optimization tools, so your agent can perform actions like monitoring API usage, purging storage, and managing your ShortPixel resources on your behalf.
- API status monitoring: Instantly check your API key status, including available image optimization credits, so you never run out unexpectedly.
- Bulk storage purging: Direct your agent to purge all files stored on ShortPixel servers for a domain, making large-scale cleanups quick and hassle-free.
- Account usage visibility: Let your agent retrieve up-to-date usage metrics before initiating new optimization tasks or campaigns.
- Automated maintenance workflows: Schedule regular storage purges or status checks, keeping your ShortPixel account organized with minimal manual effort.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `SHORTPIXEL_ADD_CDN_DOMAIN` | Add CDN Domain | Tool to add a new domain to the ShortPixel CDN system and associate it with your API key. Use when you need to register a domain for CDN services. If the domain already exists without a user, it will be associated with your API key. |
| `SHORTPIXEL_BULK_PURGE_STORAGE` | Bulk Purge ShortPixel Storage | Tool to purge all files stored on ShortPixel storage servers for a domain. Use when you need to remove all stored files for a site in bulk. |
| `SHORTPIXEL_CHECK_IMAGE_STATUS` | Check Image Status | Tool to check the optimization status of an image being processed by ShortPixel. Returns current status of queued images including URLs and size information. |
| `SHORTPIXEL_CLEAN_UP_IMAGE` | Clean Up Image | Tool to remove images from the processing queue. Use when you need to optimize another image with the same URL but different contents within the next hour. |
| `SHORTPIXEL_GET_ADAPTIVE_IMAGE_CDN` | Get Adaptive Image via CDN | Tool to optimize images on-the-fly via ShortPixel CDN. Transform images by URL with parameters for width, height, cropping, quality, and format conversion. Returns the optimized image directly without CDN caching. |
| `SHORTPIXEL_GET_API_STATUS` | Get API Status | Tool to retrieve the current status of your API key, including available credits. Use when you need to monitor your account usage before making additional API calls. |
| `SHORTPIXEL_GET_CDN_USAGE` | Get CDN Usage Statistics | Tool to retrieve detailed CDN usage statistics for a domain including traffic, API calls, monthly quota, remaining credits, and historical usage breakdown by date. Use when you need to monitor CDN consumption or check quota status. |
| `SHORTPIXEL_OPTIMIZE_IMAGES_BY_URL` | Optimize Images by URL | Tool to optimize images by providing their URLs. Supports batch processing of up to 100 URLs per request with options for lossy, glossy, or lossless compression, resizing, format conversion (WebP/AVIF), and background removal. Use when you need to compress and optimize images accessible online. |
| `SHORTPIXEL_READ_CDN_DOMAIN` | Read CDN Domain Status | Tool to check the status of a domain and its CDN quota on ShortPixel. Returns a status code indicating credit availability. Use when you need to verify domain accessibility and quota status. |
| `SHORTPIXEL_REVOKE_CDN_DOMAIN` | Revoke CDN Domain | Tool to revoke a domain association from ShortPixel CDN. Only works if the API key belongs to the current domain owner. Use when you need to remove the association between a domain and the user account. |
| `SHORTPIXEL_SET_CDN_DOMAIN` | Set CDN Domain | Tool to associate an API key with an existing domain. Unlike add-domain, this does not create a new domain - it only associates a user ID if not already associated. Use when you need to claim unassociated domains. |
| `SHORTPIXEL_UPLOAD_AND_OPTIMIZE_IMAGES` | Upload and Optimize Images | Tool to upload and optimize images that are not accessible online. Uses multipart form data to upload files directly and applies optimization parameters like compression type, resize options, and format conversion. |

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

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

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

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