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 Benzinga account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to stream real-time news about Tesla today, list this week's upcoming earnings reports, show latest analyst ratings for Apple, 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 Benzinga account

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

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "Stream real-time news about Tesla today"
  • "List this week's upcoming earnings reports"
  • "Show latest analyst ratings for Apple"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Benzinga MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Benzinga account. It provides structured and secure access to real-time financial news and market data, so your agent can track earnings, monitor analyst ratings, stream news, and analyze economic events on your behalf.

  • Live financial news streaming: Instantly stream real-time news updates, market-moving events, and breaking headlines as they happen so your agent always stays informed.
  • Earnings and conference call tracking: Automatically retrieve upcoming earnings dates, actuals, estimates, and conference call details for any ticker or date range.
  • Analyst sentiment and ratings insights: Fetch consensus analyst ratings, price targets, and detailed rating calendars to help evaluate stock sentiment and trends.
  • Economic event analysis: Access comprehensive economic calendar events, including values, consensus, and importance filters to understand macroeconomic impacts.
  • Audit and manage removed items: Identify and review deleted news articles or cancelled calendar events for full transparency and compliance.

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the Benzinga authorization link not work?

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

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

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

The Benzinga connection can expire or lose permission.

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

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

Claude can manage the Benzinga connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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