## 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 Aha! account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to list recently created ideas in Aha!, create a release for the next quarter, update roadmap features with priority scores, 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.

## Also integrate Aha! with

## What is the Aha! MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Aha! MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Aha! account. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Aha! operations on your behalf.

## Troubleshooting

### 1. Why does Claude not use the Composio connector for Aha!?

The connector can show as connected, but Claude must use it in each Aha! conversation.
- Click + at the lower left of the chat, or type /.
- Hover Connectors.
- Turn on Composio.
- Ask Claude to connect to Aha! again.

### 2. Why does Claude show an MCP server error before Aha! connects?

Claude can show Couldn't reach the MCP server or Authorization with the MCP server failed when you add the connector for Aha!.
- 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 Aha!.
- If it fails again, send the error and the ofid_ reference id to support@composio.dev.

### 3. Why does the Aha! authorization link not work?

The Composio connector is one server. Your Aha! account connects separately when Claude asks for it.
- If the browser does not open, or the link expires, ask Claude to retry the Aha! connection.
- Composio creates a fresh Aha! authorization link.
- Open that link in your browser and finish the Aha! sign-in.

### 4. Why do Aha! actions fail after they worked before?

The Aha! connection can expire or lose permission.
- Ask Claude to inspect the Aha! connection.
- If the connection is unhealthy, disconnect it when Claude prompts you.
- Reconnect the Aha! account and retry the action.
- If Claude shows a permission prompt, approve it before Claude changes data in Aha!.
- If the action still fails with a permission error, check that the connected account has that permission in Aha! itself.

### 5. How do I switch to a different Aha! account?

Claude can manage the Aha! connection for you.
- Ask Claude to disconnect or delete the current Aha! account.
- Ask Claude to connect Aha! again.
- Open the new Composio authorization link for Aha!.
- Sign in with the other Aha! account in the browser.
- After the account connects, ask Claude to retry the Aha! task.

### 6. Why is my Aha! connection missing in Claude Desktop or on a Team plan?

The connector belongs to your Claude account, so your Aha! connection works in Claude Web, Desktop, and Cowork.
- In Claude Desktop, open Customize > Connectors.
- Next to Composio, click ⋮ and click Clear cache.
- If Aha! 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 Aha!.

## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK

The Aha! MCP server connects Claude Web, Desktop, and Cowork to your Aha! account through Composio. Once connected, Claude can use the available Aha! tools and triggers to complete tasks on your behalf.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Aha! MCP?

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

### Can I use Tool Router MCP with Claude Cowork?

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 Aha! tools.

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

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