## 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 Talenthr.
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 Talenthr 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 Talenthr
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 Talenthr to Atomic Agent

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

The Talenthr MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your TalentHR account. It provides structured and secure access to your HR operations, so your agent can assign permissions, manage role-based access, enforce compliance, and streamline HR permissions on your behalf.
- Automated permission assignment: Instantly grant specific permissions to designated roles within your organization, reducing manual admin work.
- Role-based access management: Enable your agent to adjust access levels for users by updating permissions tied to different roles as organizational needs evolve.
- Compliance enforcement: Ensure the right people have the right access, helping your team stay compliant with internal policies and regulatory requirements.
- Streamlined permission revocation: Quickly revoke permissions from roles when responsibilities change, improving security and clarity.
- Permission validation and auditing: Validate and track the assignment or removal of permissions, making audits and reviews much simpler for HR teams.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `TALENTHR_ASSIGN_PERMISSION` | Assign Permission | Tool to assign permissions to a specific role. Use when you need to grant or revoke permissions for a role after validating both role and permission IDs. |

## Supported Triggers

None listed.

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

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

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

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