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 Goodbits account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to add a new subscriber to your newsletter, remove a subscriber from future email sends, save this article link to your content library, 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 Goodbits account

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

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "Add a new subscriber to your newsletter"
  • "Remove a subscriber from future email sends"
  • "Save this article link to your content library"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Goodbits MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Goodbits account. It provides structured and secure access to your newsletters, subscribers, and curated content, so your agent can perform actions like managing subscribers, adding content links, and updating newsletter details on your behalf.

  • Automated newsletter content curation: Instantly add new articles and links to your Goodbits Content Library for upcoming newsletters, using just a URL and metadata.
  • Subscriber management and growth: Seamlessly add new subscribers to your newsletter or remove users who opt out, keeping your audience list up to date.
  • Subscription status updates: Easily update the subscription status of existing subscribers, such as marking users as unsubscribed or reactivating them as needed.
  • Newsletter info retrieval: Allow your agent to fetch newsletter identifiers and names to support automated workflows and reporting.

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the Goodbits authorization link not work?

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

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

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

The Goodbits connection can expire or lose permission.

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

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

Claude can manage the Goodbits connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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