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 Btcpay server account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to create a new Bitcoin payment request for your store, list all payment requests for store ABC123, register a webhook for payment notifications, 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 Btcpay server account

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

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "Create a new Bitcoin payment request for your store"
  • "List all payment requests for store ABC123"
  • "Register a webhook for payment notifications"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Btcpay server MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Btcpay server account. It provides structured and secure access to your Bitcoin payment infrastructure, so your agent can perform actions like creating payment requests, managing stores, handling API keys, and automating webhooks on your behalf.

  • Automated payment request creation: Instruct your agent to generate new payment requests for your stores, making it simple to accept Bitcoin payments from customers without manual setup.
  • Store management and provisioning: Let your agent create, configure, or remove stores in your Btcpay server environment to support multiple business units or projects.
  • API key administration: Ask your agent to list, retrieve, or revoke API keys, streamlining secure access control for developers and integrations.
  • Webhook registration for event automation: Enable your agent to register webhooks, so you can receive instant notifications or trigger workflows when key payment or store events occur.
  • User and payout management: Have the agent create new server users programmatically or delete store payouts that are no longer needed, giving you granular control over your payment operations.

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the Btcpay server authorization link not work?

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

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

4. Why do Btcpay server actions fail after they worked before?

The Btcpay server connection can expire or lose permission.

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

5. How do I switch to a different Btcpay server account?

Claude can manage the Btcpay server connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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