Honeybadger is an error tracking and application monitoring service for developers. It helps you spot, resolve, and get notified about app issues—before your users even notice.

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 Honeybadger account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to report a new deployment to Honeybadger, upload JavaScript source maps after release, send a custom error event for diagnostics, 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.

Add to Claude

Add manually

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

3. Connect your Honeybadger account

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

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "Report a new deployment to Honeybadger"
  • "Upload JavaScript source maps after release"
  • "Send a custom error event for diagnostics"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Honeybadger MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Honeybadger account. It provides structured and secure access to your error monitoring and deployment data, so your agent can perform actions like reporting exceptions, tracking deployments, sending custom events, and managing source maps on your behalf.

  • Error and exception reporting: Instantly notify Honeybadger of new exceptions or critical errors by sending detailed diagnostic data, including stack traces and context information, for fast troubleshooting.
  • Automated deployment tracking: Let your agent report new deployments to Honeybadger after every release, so you always have up-to-date context for error tracking and performance monitoring.
  • Scheduled task monitoring: Use the agent to report check-ins (pings) for scheduled jobs, ensuring your background tasks are running reliably and on time.
  • Custom telemetry and event logging: Send structured NDJSON events to Honeybadger Insights, allowing you to capture and analyze application-specific metrics and events.
  • Source map and file uploads: Upload JavaScript source maps and supporting files to Honeybadger for improved error de-minification and debugging of production errors.

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the Honeybadger authorization link not work?

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

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

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

The Honeybadger connection can expire or lose permission.

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

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

Claude can manage the Honeybadger connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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