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 Follow Up Boss account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to list all leads added this week, update contact info for lead John Doe, create a new deal for Jane Smith, 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.

What is the Follow Up Boss Claude Connector, and what's possible with it?

The Follow Up Boss MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Follow Up Boss account. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Follow Up Boss operations on your behalf.

Troubleshooting

1. Why does Claude not use the Composio connector for Follow Up Boss?

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

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

2. Why does Claude show an MCP server error before Follow Up Boss connects?

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

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

3. Why does the Follow Up Boss authorization link not work?

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

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

4. Why do Follow Up Boss actions fail after they worked before?

The Follow Up Boss connection can expire or lose permission.

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

5. How do I switch to a different Follow Up Boss account?

Claude can manage the Follow Up Boss connection for you.

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

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

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

  • In Claude Desktop, open Customize > Connectors.
  • Next to Composio, click and click Clear cache.
  • If Follow Up Boss 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 Follow Up Boss.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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