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 Appcircle account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to trigger a new iOS app build pipeline, fetch latest build status for your project, list all available distribution profiles, 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.

Connecting Appcircle to Claude Web, Desktop, and Cowork

1. Open Customize

2. Add the Composio MCP server

Click Add custom connector and paste in the Composio MCP server URL:

bash
https://connect.composio.dev/mcp
Add custom connector dialog with Composio MCP server URL

3. Authorize in your browser

Click Connect. You'll be redirected to a browser window where you can authorize Composio to continue.

4. Connect your Appcircle account

Back in Claude, ask it to connect to Appcircle or give it any Appcircle-related task.

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "Trigger a new iOS app build pipeline"
  • "Fetch latest build status for your project"
  • "List all available distribution profiles"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

That's it. Composio's tools are now available in Claude, and your Appcircle account is ready to use.

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

The Appcircle MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Appcircle account. It provides structured and secure access to your mobile CI/CD pipelines, so your agent can perform actions like triggering builds, monitoring workflows, managing artifacts, and automating mobile app deployments on your behalf.

  • Automated mobile app builds: Let your agent trigger new builds for iOS and Android apps, manage build profiles, and handle build parameters seamlessly.
  • Workflow monitoring and insights: Enable your agent to fetch real-time statuses, logs, and detailed reports from your Appcircle build and test workflows.
  • Test execution and results retrieval: Instruct your agent to start automated test runs, collect results, and surface issues or test failures for rapid feedback.
  • Artifact management and distribution: Have your agent access, download, or distribute app binaries, install links, and build artifacts to your team or testers.
  • Deployment automation: Direct your agent to publish builds to app stores or internal distribution channels, streamlining release management for your mobile apps.

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

  • 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 Appcircle.
  • If it fails again, send the error and the ofid_ reference id to support@composio.dev.

3. Why does the Appcircle authorization link not work?

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

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

4. Why do Appcircle actions fail after they worked before?

The Appcircle connection can expire or lose permission.

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

5. How do I switch to a different Appcircle account?

Claude can manage the Appcircle connection for you.

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

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

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

  • In Claude Desktop, open Customize > Connectors.
  • Next to Composio, click ⋮ and click Clear cache.
  • If Appcircle 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 Appcircle.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

With a standalone Appcircle MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Appcircle tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Appcircle 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 Appcircle tools.

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