How Atomic Agent connects to Whatsapp

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 Whatsapp 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 Whatsapp. It searches Composio for the right tool.
  4. On first use, open the sign-in link returned in the chat. Connect your Whatsapp 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.

What is the Whatsapp MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The WhatsApp MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your WhatsApp account. It provides structured and secure access to your WhatsApp Business account settings, profiles, templates, flows, and phone configuration, so your agent can manage business details, register phone numbers, maintain templates, update flows, and review account settings on your behalf.

  • Business profile management: Have your agent update your business description, contact information, and other WhatsApp Business profile settings.
  • Phone number administration: Direct your agent to register or deregister a WhatsApp Business phone number and set its two-step verification PIN.
  • Message template management: Let the agent browse the template library and create or update templates for your WhatsApp Business account.
  • Flow and commerce configuration: Instruct your agent to review Flow assets, update Flow configurations, and check commerce settings for your business phone number.
  • Account oversight and access: Have your agent review owned or shared business accounts, inspect compliance and encryption details, manage assigned user access, and subscribe your application to account notifications.

Use Whatsapp from Atomic Agent

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

Visit the Atomic Agent website or inspect the Atomic Agent source code.

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 for the current limits that apply to your connection.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

With a standalone Whatsapp MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Whatsapp tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Whatsapp and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

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 Whatsapp tools.

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Whatsapp 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.

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 Whatsapp data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
