Introduction

This guide walks you through the easiest and most secure way to connect your Cashfree account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to collect pending payment for order 12345, check vendor settlements for this week, list recent settlements for merchant account, 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 Cashfree account

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

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "Collect pending payment for order 12345"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Cashfree MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Cashfree account. It provides structured and secure access to payments, orders, refunds, settlements, and reports, so your agent can create payment links, manage orders, issue refunds, track settlements, and generate reconciliation reports on your behalf.

  • Payment links and orders: Have your agent create or cancel payment links, open payment orders, check their status, and review every payment attempt.
  • Refund and transaction tracking: Direct your agent to issue refunds, check refund progress, search transactions, and retrieve full payment details and timelines.
  • Settlement management: Let the agent check unsettled funds, settlement schedules, rates, limits, fees, eligibility, and the status of standard, vendor, or on-demand settlements.
  • Reports and reconciliation: Instruct your agent to generate transaction, settlement, refund, ledger, and reconciliation reports, monitor their status, and retrieve completed reports.
  • Sandbox payment testing: Have your agent simulate sandbox payments and check the results to test payment workflows.

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the Cashfree authorization link not work?

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

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

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

The Cashfree connection can expire or lose permission.

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

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

Claude can manage the Cashfree connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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