Introduction

Claude is Anthropic's AI assistant, available on the web, in the desktop app, and on mobile. Cowork is its agent for knowledge work, and it runs on all of those surfaces too. Connected to your apps, Claude can work with your files and services to accomplish complex tasks on your behalf.

This guide walks you through the easiest and most secure way to connect your 2chat account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to add new WhatsApp contact for sales lead, list all WhatsApp contacts and their details, check your 2Chat API usage this week, and more such actions on your behalf without compromising your account security.

Setup is the same on Claude Web, Desktop, and Cowork, and you only need to do it once. The connector is tied to your account, so it's available in all three.

3. Connect your 2chat account

For example, ask Claude to:

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

What is the 2chat Claude Connector, and what's possible with it?

The 2chat MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your 2chat account. It provides structured and secure access to your messaging channels, so your agent can perform actions like sending and receiving WhatsApp messages, managing contacts, monitoring API usage, and automating group workflows on your behalf.

  • Contact management and automation: Quickly add new contacts or retrieve existing ones, allowing your agent to keep your WhatsApp and text channels up to date and organized.
  • API usage monitoring: Effortlessly check your current API usage and quotas, so your agent can help prevent service interruptions or overages.
  • Webhook subscription review: Let your agent list and audit all active webhook subscriptions for your messaging channels, making it easy to monitor integrations and event triggers.
  • Credential validation and account status: Have your agent validate API keys and fetch account information to ensure secure and reliable operation before performing messaging tasks.

Troubleshooting

1. Why does Claude not use the Composio connector for 2chat?

The connector can show as connected, but Claude must use it in each 2chat conversation.

  • Click + at the lower left of the chat, or type /.
  • Hover Connectors.
  • Turn on Composio.
  • Ask Claude to connect to 2chat again.

2. Why does Claude show an MCP server error before 2chat connects?

Claude can show Couldn't reach the MCP server or Authorization with the MCP server failed when you add the connector for 2chat.

  • Check that the connector URL is https://connect.composio.dev/mcp.
  • Connectors run from Anthropic's cloud, so your device network is usually not the problem.
  • Add the connector again from Customize > Connectors, then ask Claude to connect 2chat.
  • If it fails again, send the error and the ofid_ reference id to support@composio.dev.

3. Why does the 2chat authorization link not work?

The Composio connector is one server. Your 2chat account connects separately when Claude asks for it.

  • If the browser does not open, or the link expires, ask Claude to retry the 2chat connection.
  • Composio creates a fresh 2chat authorization link.
  • Open that link in your browser and finish the 2chat sign-in.

4. Why do 2chat actions fail after they worked before?

The 2chat connection can expire or lose permission.

  • Ask Claude to inspect the 2chat connection.
  • If the connection is unhealthy, disconnect it when Claude prompts you.
  • Reconnect the 2chat account and retry the action.
  • If Claude shows a permission prompt, approve it before Claude changes data in 2chat.
  • If the action still fails with a permission error, check that the connected account has that permission in 2chat itself.

5. How do I switch to a different 2chat account?

Claude can manage the 2chat connection for you.

  • Ask Claude to disconnect or delete the current 2chat account.
  • Ask Claude to connect 2chat again.
  • Open the new Composio authorization link for 2chat.
  • Sign in with the other 2chat account in the browser.
  • After the account connects, ask Claude to retry the 2chat task.

6. Why is my 2chat connection missing in Claude Desktop or on a Team plan?

The connector belongs to your Claude account, so your 2chat connection works in Claude Web, Desktop, and Cowork.

  • In Claude Desktop, open Customize > Connectors.
  • Next to Composio, click and click Clear cache.
  • If 2chat tools still do not appear, click , disconnect, remove the connector, and add it again.
  • On Team or Enterprise, an Owner or Primary Owner must enable the connector before you can connect 2chat.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

With a standalone 2chat MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of 2chat tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from 2chat and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

Yes, you can. Claude Cowork 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 2chat tools.

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which 2chat 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 2chat data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
