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 Botpress account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to list all active conversations for your bot, show issues reported for a specific bot, delete a file from a bot workspace, 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 Botpress account

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

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "List all active conversations for your bot"
  • "Show issues reported for a specific bot"
  • "Delete a file from a bot workspace"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Botpress MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Botpress account. It provides structured and secure access to your chatbot platform, so your agent can perform actions like listing conversations, managing bot files, tracking issues, and exploring workspaces on your behalf.

  • Comprehensive conversation management: Retrieve and paginate through all chatbot conversations, making it easy to review chat history and analyze user interactions.
  • Bot issue tracking and diagnostics: List and investigate issues related to specific bots, helping you stay informed about errors or configuration problems as they arise.
  • Workspace discovery and organization: Browse both public and private workspaces, making it seamless to manage your bot environments or explore new collaborative spaces.
  • File and tag oversight: List, manage, and categorize bot files and their associated tags or tag values, streamlining bot asset organization.
  • Account information access: Instantly fetch authenticated account details so your agent always works with the latest profile and permission data.

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the Botpress authorization link not work?

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

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

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

The Botpress connection can expire or lose permission.

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

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

Claude can manage the Botpress connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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