Use Atlas with third-party products
Create a WMS from Atlas using MapProxy
Web Map Service (WMS) is a standard protocol for serving georeferenced map images. These images are commonly produced by a map server from data provided by a GIS database. With Atlas, you can serve WMS sources by using MapProxy and the Mapbox Static Tiles API.
MapProxy is an open source proxy for geospatial data that you’ll point to the Mapbox Static Tiles API. As WMS requests come in, MapProxy makes a request to Atlas, saves the tile in the cache, and then serves it.

Create a new virtual environment
This setup assumes that Atlas is running and accessible by the MapProxy host. With this installation method, MapProxy is installed on the same host as Atlas. You will need a working Python installation (version 2.7 and 3.4 or higher) to use MapProxy. For more information, see official MapProxy installation documentation.
Create a new virtual environment. To do this you will need virtualenv installed.
virtualenv --system-site-packages mapproxy
Activate the MapProxy virtual environment:
source mapproxy/bin/activate
Install dependencies
