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 Dynatrace account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to list active problems in your Dynatrace environment, show host health metrics for yesterday, create a Dynatrace dashboard for service latency, 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.

Two ways to add the Composio connector. Pick whichever you prefer.

1. Add with one click

Click the button. Claude opens with the Composio connector filled in. Click Add, then go to step 2.

Add to Claude

Add manually

In Claude Desktop, click Customize in the left sidebar, then select Connectors and click the + icon at the top.

Click Add custom connector and paste in the Composio MCP server URL:

bash
https://connect.composio.dev/mcp
Add custom connector dialog with Composio MCP server URL

2. Authorize in your browser

Click Connect. You'll be redirected to a browser window where you can authorize Composio to continue.

3. Connect your Dynatrace account

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

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "List active problems in your Dynatrace environment"
  • "Show host health metrics for yesterday"
  • "Create a Dynatrace dashboard for service latency"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Dynatrace MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Dynatrace account. It provides structured and secure access to observability, analytics, automation, settings, documents, and telemetry capabilities, so your agent can run Grail queries, manage problems, create and control workflows, and organize shared documents on your behalf.

  • Grail query analysis: Instruct your agent to run Dynatrace DQL queries, request query completions, and cancel queries that are still running.
  • Problem response: Have your agent add comments to Dynatrace problems, close resolved problems with a closing comment, or remove an existing problem comment.
  • Workflow automation: Let the agent create, duplicate, export, or cancel Dynatrace workflow executions, and manage scheduling rules and business calendars.
  • Document collaboration: Direct your agent to create, download, share, lock, restore, or delete Dynatrace documents, including managing direct and environment-wide sharing.
  • Settings and metric management: Instruct your agent to grant or remove settings permissions, delete settings objects, generate schema defaults, or delete metrics selected by metric and age.

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the Dynatrace authorization link not work?

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

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

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

The Dynatrace connection can expire or lose permission.

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

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

Claude can manage the Dynatrace connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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