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 Cutt ly account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to show your five most recent short links, get analytics for your latest shortened URL, list details of last three Cutt.ly links, 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 Cutt ly account

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

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "Show your five most recent short links"
  • "Get analytics for your latest shortened URL"
  • "List details of last three Cutt.ly links"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Cutt ly MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Cutt ly account. It provides structured and secure access to your link management tools, so your agent can view recently shortened URLs, monitor your latest links, and analyze basic link details on your behalf.

  • Retrieve recently shortened URLs: Instantly access a list of your most recently shortened links, making it easy to track new campaigns or shared content.
  • View detailed link information: Ask your agent to pull details for each shortened URL, including destination, creation time, and basic analytics.
  • Monitor link activity trends: Quickly scan your latest links to spot changes or trends in what you and your team are sharing.
  • Streamline link management tasks: Let your agent do the tedious work of gathering and summarizing your recent link activity, so you can focus on strategy.

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the Cutt ly authorization link not work?

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

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

4. Why do Cutt ly actions fail after they worked before?

The Cutt ly connection can expire or lose permission.

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

5. How do I switch to a different Cutt ly account?

Claude can manage the Cutt ly connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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