How to integrate Workable MCP with Atomic Agent

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 Workable.

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 Workable account. See the Atomic Agent documentation for installation instructions.

How Atomic Agent connects to Workable

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 Workable to Atomic Agent

1. Sign up or sign in to the Composio dashboard. Copy your API key.
2. 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.
3. Ask Atomic Agent to do something in Workable. It searches Composio for the right tool.
4. On first use, open the sign-in link returned in the chat. Connect your Workable 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.

The Workable MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Workable account. It provides structured and secure access to your hiring and HR data, so your agent can perform actions like listing jobs, managing candidates, retrieving background check info, and organizing departments on your behalf.

• Comprehensive candidate management: Instantly retrieve and aggregate candidate data across all jobs, making it easy for your agent to analyze talent pipelines, track applicants, and surface top candidates.
• Job and account insights: Let your agent list all open roles, access job details, and pull account-wide information to keep your hiring team up-to-date and organized.
• Automated event and interview scheduling: Fetch all scheduled events, interviews, and meetings so your agent can help coordinate calendars and ensure everyone’s on the same page.
• Background check integration: Retrieve available background check providers and packages, enabling your agent to streamline compliance and onboarding workflows.
• Team and department organization: List or delete departments, fetch member rosters, and manage legal entities—helping your agent automate org chart updates and keep your HR records tidy.

Use Workable from Atomic Agent

With your account connected, ask Atomic Agent to work with Workable in natural language. You can connect more apps through the same Composio integration as you need them.
