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 Beaconstac account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to create a QR code template for event tickets, list all physical places registered for your brand, delete an outdated QR code template, and more such actions on your behalf without compromising your account security.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 Beaconstac account

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

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "Create a QR code template for event tickets"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

What is the Beaconstac Claude Connector, 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  • QR code template creation and management: Easily instruct your agent to create new QR code templates or delete outdated ones, streamlining your marketing campaigns.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.

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the Beaconstac authorization link not work?

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

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

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

The Beaconstac connection can expire or lose permission.

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

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

Claude can manage the Beaconstac connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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.

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 Beaconstac tools.

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.

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.
