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 Coinbase account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to show all your Coinbase wallet balances, list every crypto wallet I own, display recent wallets added to your 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 Coinbase account

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

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "Show all your Coinbase wallet balances"
  • "List every crypto wallet I own"
  • "Display recent wallets added to your account"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Coinbase MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Coinbase account. It provides structured and secure access to your cryptocurrency wallets, so your agent can retrieve wallet balances, monitor your digital assets, and help you stay informed about your crypto holdings in real time.

  • Comprehensive wallet listing: Instantly fetch a full list of all your Coinbase wallets, including details for each asset you hold.
  • Balance monitoring: Let your agent check and report the current balances for every cryptocurrency wallet connected to your account.
  • Portfolio overview: Get an at-a-glance summary of your crypto assets, helping you understand your overall digital asset distribution.
  • Streamlined asset visibility: Use your agent to quickly surface wallet addresses, asset types, and wallet-specific metadata for easier tracking and management.

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the Coinbase authorization link not work?

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

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

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

The Coinbase connection can expire or lose permission.

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

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

Claude can manage the Coinbase connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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