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 The odds api account. See the [Atomic Agent documentation](https://atomicagent.io/docs/?cta_placement=atomic-agent-docs) for installation instructions. ## Also integrate The odds api with - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/the_odds_api/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/the_odds_api/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/the_odds_api/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/the_odds_api/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/the_odds_api/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/the_odds_api/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/the_odds_api/framework/hermes-agent) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/the_odds_api/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/the_odds_api/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/the_odds_api/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/the_odds_api/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/the_odds_api/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/the_odds_api/framework/crew-ai) - [Pydantic AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/the_odds_api/framework/pydantic-ai) - [AutoGen](https://composio.dev/toolkits/the_odds_api/framework/autogen) ## TL;DR ### How Atomic Agent connects to The odds 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 The odds api to Atomic Agent ### Connect The odds 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 The odds api. It searches Composio for the right tool. - On first use, open the sign-in link returned in the chat. Connect your The odds 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 The odds api MCP server, and what's possible with it? The The odds 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 The odds api account. It provides structured and secure access to real-time sports betting odds and event data, so your agent can look up live odds, fetch sports schedules, track scores, and analyze betting markets worldwide on your behalf. - Live odds retrieval for events: Instantly fetch up-to-date betting odds for specific games or matches across multiple bookmakers and markets. - Comprehensive sports and event discovery: Ask your agent to list current and upcoming sporting events, including which sports are in season and event-specific details. - Participant and team lookups: Easily get information about teams, players, or participants involved in any listed sport to inform your analysis or predictions. - Live and recent score tracking: Stay up to date with real-time scores and recently completed game results for your favorite sports. - Regional and market-based odds filtering: Compare odds for specific regions, bookmakers, or betting markets to find the best opportunities. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `THE_ODDS_API_GET_EVENT_MARKETS` | Get Event Markets | Tool to retrieve available market keys for each bookmaker for a specific event. Returns only recently seen markets - not a comprehensive list. More markets become available as the event's commence time approaches. | | `THE_ODDS_API_GET_EVENT_ODDS` | Get Event Odds | Tool to retrieve odds for a specific event. Use after confirming sport key via THE_ODDS_API_GET_SPORTS and event ID via THE_ODDS_API_GET_EVENTS; mismatched values return empty payloads rather than errors. | | `THE_ODDS_API_GET_EVENTS` | Get Events | Tool to fetch live and upcoming events for a specified sport. Use when you need event listings including odds. All timestamps are UTC. Avoid high-frequency polling; batch requests and implement backoff to prevent throttling. | | `THE_ODDS_API_GET_ODDS` | Get Odds | Tool to fetch live and upcoming event odds for a specified sport, including bookmakers, regions, and markets. Use after retrieving sports via GET_SPORTS; filter by region, market, or event IDs. Response is nested bookmakers → markets → outcomes; not all bookmakers expose every market for every event, so handle missing keys and empty arrays defensively. Combining multiple regions, markets, and eventIds produces large payloads — narrow to one region or specific eventIds where possible. | | `THE_ODDS_API_GET_PARTICIPANTS` | Get Participants | Tool to fetch list of participants (teams or players) for a specified sport. Use after confirming you have a valid sport key. | | `THE_ODDS_API_GET_SCORES` | Get Scores | Tool to return live and recently completed event scores for a sport. Use after selecting a sport key to inspect current and recent game scores. Missing results may indicate unsupported competitions, not absent events. When identifying specific fixtures, match by both team names and date to avoid confusion with multi-leg ties or similarly named teams. | | `THE_ODDS_API_GET_SPORTS` | Get Sports | Tool to retrieve a list of in-season sports. Use when you need sports data; set 'all' to true to include out-of-season sports. Sport keys returned here must be passed to downstream tools like THE_ODDS_API_GET_EVENTS and THE_ODDS_API_GET_EVENT_ODDS — mismatched or guessed keys return empty payloads. Similarly named leagues and qualifier competitions appear as distinct entries with unique keys; verify the exact key before use. | | `THE_ODDS_API_GET_V3_ODDS` | Get Odds (V3 Legacy) | Tool to fetch odds using the legacy V3 API endpoint. Returns upcoming and live games with odds for a given sport, region, and market. Use for legacy integrations; V4 API is recommended for new implementations. | ## 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 The odds api from Atomic Agent With your account connected, ask Atomic Agent to work with The odds api in natural language. You can connect more apps through the same Composio integration as you need them.

With a standalone The odds api MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of The odds api tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from The odds 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 The odds api tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for The odds api while using Tool Router? Yes, absolutely. You can configure which The odds 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 The odds api data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
