## 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 Vestaboard.
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 Vestaboard 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 Vestaboard
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 Vestaboard to Atomic Agent

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

The Vestaboard MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Vestaboard account. It provides structured and secure access to your Vestaboard displays, so your agent can perform actions like listing subscriptions, sending custom messages, and managing display content on your behalf.
- List all Vestaboard subscriptions: Easily retrieve and review every Vestaboard subscription linked to your account so you know exactly which displays your agent can manage.
- Send messages to any board: Direct your agent to post custom messages or notifications to a specific Vestaboard subscription in real time, perfect for reminders, daily schedules, or inspirational quotes.
- Automate display updates: Schedule or trigger automatic content updates across multiple Vestaboards without manual effort, keeping your displays fresh and relevant.
- Centralized display management: Manage all your connected Vestaboards from one place—no need to hop between apps or devices to update your displays.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `VESTABOARD_LIST_SUBSCRIPTIONS` | List Subscriptions | Lists all Vestaboard subscriptions accessible with the current credentials. Returns subscription and board information for accessible Vestaboard displays. Use this to discover which boards you can send messages to, then use the subscription ID with the send message action. Example usage: "Show me my Vestaboard subscriptions" or "What Vestaboard boards can I access?" |
| `VESTABOARD_SUBSCRIPTION_API_SEND_MESSAGE` | Send Message to Vestaboard | Send a message to a Vestaboard board. This action posts text or character codes to your Vestaboard display. You can send either plain text (which will be formatted automatically) or a 6x22 matrix of character codes for precise control. When using token-based authentication, the message is sent to the board associated with your authentication token. Examples: - "Display 'Hello World' on my Vestaboard" - "Send the message 'Meeting in 5 minutes' to my board" |

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

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

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

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