You can do this in two different ways: - Via [Composio Connect](https://dashboard.composio.dev/login?utm_source=toolkits&utm_medium=framework_template&utm_campaign=claude-code&utm_content=composio_connect&next=%2F~%2Forg%2Fconnect%2Fclients%2Fclaude-code) - Direct and easiest approach - Via [Composio SDK](https://docs.composio.dev/docs?utm_source=toolkits&utm_medium=framework_template&utm_campaign=claude-code&utm_content=composio_sdk) - Programmatic approach with more control ## Also integrate Beaconstac with - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/beaconstac/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/beaconstac/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/beaconstac/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/beaconstac/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/beaconstac/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/beaconstac/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/beaconstac/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/beaconstac/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/beaconstac/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/beaconstac/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/beaconstac/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/beaconstac/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/beaconstac/framework/crew-ai) ## TL;DR - Only one MCP URL to connect multiple apps with Claude Code with zero auth hassles. - Programmatic tool calling allows LLMs to write its code in a remote workbench to handle complex tool chaining. Reduces to-and-fro with LLMs for frequent tool calling. - Handling Large tool responses out of LLM context to minimize context rot. - Dynamic just-in-time access to 20,000 tools across 1000+ other Apps for cross-app workflows. It loads the tools you need, so LLMs aren't overwhelmed by tools you don't need. ## Connect Beaconstac to Claude Code ### Connecting Beaconstac to Claude Code using Composio 1. Add the Composio MCP to Claude ```bash claude mcp add --scope user --transport http composio https://connect.composio.dev/mcp ``` ## What is Claude Code? Claude Code is Anthropic's command line developer tool that lets you use Claude directly inside your terminal. Instead of switching between your editor, browser, and chat, you can stay in your project folder and ask Claude to help you build, debug, refactor, and understand code right where you're working. Key features include: - Terminal-Native Experience: Work with Claude directly in your command line without switching contexts - MCP Support: Built-in support for Model Context Protocol servers to extend Claude's capabilities - Project Context: Claude understands your project structure and can read, write, and modify files - Interactive Development: Ask questions, debug code, and get help in real-time while coding - Multi-Platform: Works on macOS, Linux, WSL, and Windows ## What is the Beaconstac MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Beaconstac MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Beaconstac account. It provides structured and secure access to your QR code and proximity marketing assets, so your agent can perform actions like creating QR templates, managing places and tags, and organizing collections on your behalf. - QR code template creation and management: Easily instruct your agent to create new QR code templates or delete outdated ones, streamlining your marketing campaigns. - Place and location asset organization: Let your agent register new places or list all your locations for precise proximity marketing management. - Bulk QR code collection browsing: Have your agent search, filter, and organize your bulk QR code collections to keep assets accessible and sorted. - Tagging and categorization automation: Direct your agent to create or delete tags, making it simple to categorize and organize QR codes and related objects. - Organization and user management: Enable your agent to list organizations, onboard new users, or manage access for streamlined account administration. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `BEACONSTAC_CREATE_PLACE` | Create Place | Tool to create a new place for location-based assets. use when you need to register a new physical place under an organization. | | `BEACONSTAC_CREATE_QR_TEMPLATE` | Create QR Template | Tool to create a new qr code template. use when you need reusable design presets for qr codes. | | `BEACONSTAC_CREATE_TAG` | Create Tag | Tool to create a new tag for organizing qr codes and other objects. use when you need to categorize qr codes under a specific organization. | | `BEACONSTAC_CREATE_USER` | Create User | Tool to create a new user. use when onboarding a new user under your organization (reseller plan and above). | | `BEACONSTAC_DELETE_QR_CODE` | Delete QR Code | Tool to delete a qr code by its id. use when you need to remove an existing qr code after validation. | | `BEACONSTAC_DELETE_QR_TEMPLATE` | Delete QR Code Template | Tool to delete a qr code template by its id. use when you need to permanently remove a qr code template that is no longer needed. | | `BEACONSTAC_DELETE_TAG` | Delete Tag | Tool to delete a tag by its id. use when you need to remove an existing tag after validation. | | `BEACONSTAC_LIST_BULK_QR_CODES` | List Bulk QR Code Collections | Tool to list bulk qr code collections. use when you need to filter, search, or order your bulk qr code collections. | | `BEACONSTAC_LIST_ORGANIZATIONS` | List Organizations | Tool to list organizations. use when you need to fetch all organizations accessible to the authenticated account. | | `BEACONSTAC_LIST_PLACES` | List Places | Tool to list your places. use when you need to browse or search your account's places with filtering and ordering. | | `BEACONSTAC_LIST_QR_TEMPLATES` | List QR Templates | Tool to list all qr code templates in your account. use when you need to filter and paginate templates. | | `BEACONSTAC_LIST_TAGS` | List Tags | Tool to list all tags with optional filtering and pagination. use when you need to browse or search tags in your account. | | `BEACONSTAC_LIST_USERS` | List Users | Tool to list all users with optional filtering, searching, ordering, and pagination. use when you need to retrieve user records across your organization. | | `BEACONSTAC_PERIOD_OVERVIEW` | Get Period Overview | Tool to get period overview analytics for products including counts, impressions, and conversion percentage. use after specifying the product type and time interval. | | `BEACONSTAC_PRODUCT_OVERVIEW` | Get Product Overview | Tool to get analytics overview for a specified product type over a given time interval. use after specifying the product type and time range to obtain summary metrics. | | `BEACONSTAC_RETRIEVE_QR_CODE` | Retrieve QR Code | Tool to retrieve details of a specific qr code by its id. use when you need to fetch or verify qr code properties after creation or update. | | `BEACONSTAC_RETRIEVE_USER` | Retrieve User | Tool to retrieve the details of an existing user by id. use when you need to fetch a user's profile after confirming its existence. | | `BEACONSTAC_UPDATE_PLACE` | Update Place | Tool to update the specified place by id. use after retrieving the place to modify its details, such as name, address, or coordinates. | | `BEACONSTAC_UPDATE_QR_CODE` | Update QR Code | Tool to update an existing qr code by its id. use when you need to modify qr code attributes;

It provides structured and secure access so Claude can perform Beaconstac operations on your behalf. With Composio's managed implementation, you don't have to create your own developer app. For production, if you're building an end product, we recommend using your own credentials. The managed server helps you prototype fast and go from 0-1 faster. ## Step-by-step Guide ### 1. Prerequisites Before starting, make sure you have: - Claude Pro, Max, or API billing enabled Anthropic account - Composio API Key - A Beaconstac account - Basic knowledge of Python or TypeScript ### 1. Install Claude Code To install Claude Code, use one of the following methods based on your operating system: ```bash # macOS, Linux, WSL curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash # Windows PowerShell irm https://claude.ai/install.ps1 | iex # Windows CMD curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.cmd -o install.cmd && install.cmd && del install.cmd ``` ### 2. Set up Claude Code Open a terminal, go to your project folder, and start Claude Code: - Claude Code will open in your terminal - Follow the prompts to sign in with your Anthropic account - Complete the authentication flow - Once authenticated, you can start using Claude Code ```bash cd your-project-folder claude ``` ### 3. Set up environment variables Create a .env file in your project root with the following variables: - COMPOSIO_API_KEY authenticates with Composio (get it from [Composio dashboard](https://dashboard.composio.dev/login?utm_source=toolkits&utm_medium=framework_template&utm_campaign=claude-code&utm_content=api_key&next=%2F~%2Forg%2Fconnect%2Fclients%2Fclaude-code)) - USER_ID identifies the user for session management (use any unique identifier) ```bash COMPOSIO_API_KEY=your_composio_api_key_here USER_ID=your_user_id_here ``` ### 4. Install Composio library No description provided. ```python pip install composio-core python-dotenv ``` ```typescript npm install @composio/core dotenv ``` ### 5. Generate Composio MCP URL No description provided. ```python import os from composio import Composio from dotenv import load_dotenv load_dotenv() COMPOSIO_API_KEY = os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY") USER_ID = os.getenv("USER_ID") composio_client = Composio(api_key=COMPOSIO_API_KEY) composio_session = composio_client.create( user_id=USER_ID, toolkits=["beaconstac"], ) COMPOSIO_MCP_URL = composio_session.mcp.url print(f"MCP URL: {COMPOSIO_MCP_URL}") print(f"\nUse this command to add to Claude Code:") print(f'claude mcp add --transport http beaconstac-composio "{COMPOSIO_MCP_URL}" --headers "X-API-Key:{COMPOSIO_API_KEY}"') ``` ```typescript import 'dotenv/config'; import { Composio } from '@composio/core'; const { COMPOSIO_API_KEY, USER_ID } = process.env; if (!COMPOSIO_API_KEY || !USER_ID) { throw new Error('COMPOSIO_API_KEY and USER_ID required in .env'); } const composioClient = new Composio({ apiKey: COMPOSIO_API_KEY }); const composioSession = await composioClient.create(USER_ID, { toolkits: ['beaconstac'], }); const composioMcpUrl = composioSession?.mcp.url; console.log(`MCP URL: ${composioMcpUrl}`); console.log(`\nUse this command to add to Claude Code:`); console.log(`claude mcp add --transport http beaconstac-composio "${composioMcpUrl}" --headers "X-API-Key:${COMPOSIO_API_KEY}"`); ``` ### 6. Run the script and copy the MCP URL No description provided. ```python python generate_mcp_url.py ``` ```typescript node --loader ts-node/esm generate_mcp_url.ts # or if using tsx tsx generate_mcp_url.ts ``` ### 7. Add Beaconstac MCP to Claude Code In your terminal, add the MCP server using the command from the previous step. The command format is: - claude mcp add registers a new MCP server with Claude Code - --transport http specifies that this is an HTTP-based MCP server - The server name (beaconstac-composio) is how you'll reference it - The URL points to your Composio Tool Router session - --headers includes your Composio API key for authentication After running the command, close the current Claude Code session and start a new one for the changes to take effect. ```bash claude mcp add --transport http beaconstac-composio "YOUR_MCP_URL_HERE" --headers "X-API-Key:YOUR_COMPOSIO_API_KEY" # Then restart Claude Code exit claude ``` ### 8. Verify the installation Check that your Beaconstac MCP server is properly configured. - This command lists all MCP servers registered with Claude Code - You should see your beaconstac-composio entry in the list - This confirms that Claude Code can now access Beaconstac tools If everything is wired up, you should see your beaconstac-composio entry listed: ```bash claude mcp list ``` ### 9. Authenticate Beaconstac The first time you try to use Beaconstac tools, you'll be prompted to authenticate. - Claude Code will detect that you need to authenticate with Beaconstac - It will show you an authentication link - Open the link in your browser (or copy/paste it) - Complete the Beaconstac authorization flow - Return to the terminal and start using Beaconstac through Claude Code Once authenticated, you can ask Claude Code to perform Beaconstac operations in natural language. For example: - "Create a QR code template for event tickets" - "List all physical places registered for my brand" - "Delete an outdated QR code template" ## Complete Code ```python import os from composio import Composio from dotenv import load_dotenv load_dotenv() COMPOSIO_API_KEY = os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY") USER_ID = os.getenv("USER_ID") composio_client = Composio(api_key=COMPOSIO_API_KEY) composio_session = composio_client.create( user_id=USER_ID, toolkits=["beaconstac"], ) COMPOSIO_MCP_URL = composio_session.mcp.url print(f"MCP URL: {COMPOSIO_MCP_URL}") print(f"\nUse this command to add to Claude Code:") print(f'claude mcp add --transport http beaconstac-composio "{COMPOSIO_MCP_URL}" --headers "X-API-Key:{COMPOSIO_API_KEY}"') ``` ```typescript import 'dotenv/config'; import { Composio } from '@composio/core'; const { COMPOSIO_API_KEY, USER_ID } = process.env; if (!COMPOSIO_API_KEY || !USER_ID) { throw new Error('COMPOSIO_API_KEY and USER_ID required in .env'); } const composioClient = new Composio({ apiKey: COMPOSIO_API_KEY }); const composioSession = await composioClient.create(USER_ID, { toolkits: ['beaconstac'], }); const composioMcpUrl = composioSession?.mcp.url; console.log(`MCP URL: ${composioMcpUrl}`); console.log(`\nUse this command to add to Claude Code:`); console.log(`claude mcp add --transport http beaconstac-composio "${composioMcpUrl}" --headers "X-API-Key:${COMPOSIO_API_KEY}"`); ``` ## Conclusion You've successfully integrated Beaconstac with Claude Code using Composio's MCP server.

With a standalone Beaconstac MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Beaconstac tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Beaconstac and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint. ### Can I use Tool Router MCP with Claude Code? Yes, you can. Claude Code 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 Beaconstac tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Beaconstac while using Tool Router? Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Beaconstac 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 Beaconstac data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
