## Introduction

Manage your Identitycheck directly from Claude Code with zero worries about OAuth hassles, API-breaking issues, or reliability and security concerns.
You can do this in two different ways:
- Via [Composio Connect](https://dashboard.composio.dev/login?utm_source=toolkits&utm_medium=framework_template&utm_campaign=claude-code&utm_content=composio_connect&next=%2F~%2Forg%2Fconnect%2Fclients%2Fclaude-code) - Direct and easiest approach
- Via [Composio SDK](https://docs.composio.dev/docs?utm_source=toolkits&utm_medium=framework_template&utm_campaign=claude-code&utm_content=composio_sdk) - Programmatic approach with more control

## TL;DR

- Only one MCP URL to connect multiple apps with Claude Code with zero auth hassles.
- Programmatic tool calling allows LLMs to write its code in a remote workbench to handle complex tool chaining. Reduces to-and-fro with LLMs for frequent tool calling.
- Handling Large tool responses out of LLM context to minimize context rot.
- Dynamic just-in-time access to 20,000 tools across 1000+ other Apps for cross-app workflows. It loads the tools you need, so LLMs aren't overwhelmed by tools you don't need.

## Connect Identitycheck to Claude Code

### Connecting Identitycheck to Claude Code using Composio
1. Add the Composio MCP to Claude

```bash
claude mcp add --scope user --transport http composio https://connect.composio.dev/mcp
```

## What is Claude Code?

Claude Code is Anthropic's command line developer tool that lets you use Claude directly inside your terminal. Instead of switching between your editor, browser, and chat, you can stay in your project folder and ask Claude to help you build, debug, refactor, and understand code right where you're working.
Key features include:
- Terminal-Native Experience: Work with Claude directly in your command line without switching contexts
- MCP Support: Built-in support for Model Context Protocol servers to extend Claude's capabilities
- Project Context: Claude understands your project structure and can read, write, and modify files
- Interactive Development: Ask questions, debug code, and get help in real-time while coding
- Multi-Platform: Works on macOS, Linux, WSL, and Windows

## What is the Identitycheck MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Identitycheck MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Identitycheck account. It provides structured and secure access to your verification workflows, so your agent can perform actions like checking onboarding status, fetching document content, managing notification endpoints, and retrieving configurations on your behalf.
- Instant onboarding status checks: Your agent can retrieve and monitor the progress or result of any onboarding process, keeping you updated in real time.
- Document content retrieval: Effortlessly fetch base64-encoded document content tied to a specific onboarding and document code for further analysis or archiving.
- Comprehensive configuration management: List, fetch, or delete identity verification configurations, giving you full control over your Identitycheck setup without manual dashboard work.
- Notification endpoint oversight: List, fetch, or remove notification endpoints to customize how and where you receive verification event updates.
- API health monitoring: Quickly verify API availability before performing operations, ensuring reliability and uptime for your verification workflows.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `IDENTITYCHECK_CHECK_API_HEALTH` | Check API Health | Performs an API health check to verify endpoint availability and responsiveness. This tool sends an HTTP request to a specified endpoint and interprets a 200 OK response as indicating the API is UP. It handles both JSON and non-JSON responses (including HTML). Use this before other operations to confirm the API is reachable. |
| `IDENTITYCHECK_DELETE_CONFIGURATION` | Delete configuration | Tool to delete an existing configuration. Use when you need to remove a configuration by its unique code. |
| `IDENTITYCHECK_DELETE_NOTIFICATION_ENDPOINT` | Delete Notification Endpoint | Tool to delete a notification endpoint by its unique code. This operation is idempotent - it will succeed whether the endpoint exists or has already been deleted. Use when you need to remove a callback endpoint that receives webhook notifications for identity verification events. |
| `IDENTITYCHECK_FETCH_ALL_CONFIGURATIONS` | Fetch All Configurations | Tool to fetch all existing configurations. Use when you need to list all customer configurations after authentication. |
| `IDENTITYCHECK_FETCH_ALL_NOTIFICATION_ENDPOINTS` | Fetch all notification endpoints | Fetches all configured notification endpoints (webhooks) for the IdentityCheck SDK. Use this to list all callback URLs that receive onboarding event notifications (START_ONBOARDING, END_ONBOARDING). |
| `IDENTITYCHECK_FETCH_CONFIGURATION` | Fetch Configuration | Fetch a specific identity verification configuration by its code. Use this action when you need to: - Retrieve theme customizations (logo, colors, button styles) for a configuration - Get custom wordings/translations defined for different languages - Review configuration options like link validity, email sender name, or ID capture settings - Verify that a configuration exists before using it in an onboarding flow The configuration code is the unique identifier assigned when the configuration was created. |
| `IDENTITYCHECK_FETCH_NOTIFICATION_ENDPOINT` | Fetch Notification Endpoint | Tool to fetch a notification endpoint by its code. Use when you need the current configuration of a specific callback endpoint. |
| `IDENTITYCHECK_FETCH_ONBOARDINGS` | Fetch Onboardings | Retrieves identity verification onboarding sessions with comprehensive filtering and pagination. An onboarding represents a customer's identity verification journey, tracking their progress from link creation through document capture and verification completion. Each onboarding has a unique link sent via email/phone/none, and transitions through states: CREATED → CLICKED → CAPTURE_ONGOING → SUCCESS/ERROR/EXPIRED. Use this to: - Monitor verification sessions by status, date range, or customer identifiers - Track onboarding completion rates and error patterns - Retrieve specific onboardings by UID or business-specific identifiers - Analyze notification delivery methods and their effectiveness Returns paginated results with statistics (total results, distinct users, captures per document). All filter parameters are optional; omit them to retrieve all onboardings. Example: Find all failed verifications due to network errors in January 2024 |
| `IDENTITYCHECK_GET_DOCUMENT_CONTENT` | Get Document Content | Tool to retrieve base64-encoded document content. Use when you have an onboarding UID and document code. |
| `IDENTITYCHECK_RETRIEVE_ONBOARDING_STATUS` | Retrieve Onboarding Status | Retrieve the current status and results of an identity verification onboarding session. Use this tool to check the progress of an onboarding (CREATED, CLICKED, CAPTURE_ONGOING) or get final results (SUCCESS, ERROR, EXPIRED). Returns detailed analysis results, error causes, and CIS export data when available. |
| `IDENTITYCHECK_UPDATE_CONFIGURATION` | Update Configuration | Tool to update an existing configuration. Use when you need to modify properties of a configuration identified by code. |

## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK

The Identitycheck MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects Claude Code (and other AI assistants like Claude and Cursor) directly to your Identitycheck account. It provides structured and secure access so Claude can perform Identitycheck operations on your behalf.
With Composio's managed implementation, you don't have to create your own developer app. For production, if you're building an end product, we recommend using your own credentials. The managed server helps you prototype fast and go from 0-1 faster.

## Step-by-step Guide

### 1. Prerequisites

Before starting, make sure you have:
- Claude Pro, Max, or API billing enabled Anthropic account
- Composio API Key
- A Identitycheck account
- Basic knowledge of Python or TypeScript

### 1. Install Claude Code

To install Claude Code, use one of the following methods based on your operating system:
```bash
# macOS, Linux, WSL
curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash

# Windows PowerShell
irm https://claude.ai/install.ps1 | iex

# Windows CMD
curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.cmd -o install.cmd && install.cmd && del install.cmd
```

### 2. Set up Claude Code

Open a terminal, go to your project folder, and start Claude Code:
- Claude Code will open in your terminal
- Follow the prompts to sign in with your Anthropic account
- Complete the authentication flow
- Once authenticated, you can start using Claude Code
```bash
cd your-project-folder
claude
```

### 3. Set up environment variables

Create a .env file in your project root with the following variables:
- COMPOSIO_API_KEY authenticates with Composio (get it from [Composio dashboard](https://dashboard.composio.dev/login?utm_source=toolkits&utm_medium=framework_template&utm_campaign=claude-code&utm_content=api_key&next=%2F~%2Forg%2Fconnect%2Fclients%2Fclaude-code))
- USER_ID identifies the user for session management (use any unique identifier)
```bash
COMPOSIO_API_KEY=your_composio_api_key_here
USER_ID=your_user_id_here
```

### 4. Install Composio library

No description provided.
```python
pip install composio-core python-dotenv
```

```typescript
npm install @composio/core dotenv
```

### 5. Generate Composio MCP URL

No description provided.
```python
import os
from composio import Composio
from dotenv import load_dotenv

load_dotenv()

COMPOSIO_API_KEY = os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY")
USER_ID = os.getenv("USER_ID")

composio_client = Composio(api_key=COMPOSIO_API_KEY)

composio_session = composio_client.create(
    user_id=USER_ID,
    toolkits=["identitycheck"],
)

COMPOSIO_MCP_URL = composio_session.mcp.url

print(f"MCP URL: {COMPOSIO_MCP_URL}")
print(f"\nUse this command to add to Claude Code:")
print(f'claude mcp add --transport http identitycheck-composio "{COMPOSIO_MCP_URL}" --headers "X-API-Key:{COMPOSIO_API_KEY}"')
```

```typescript
import 'dotenv/config';
import { Composio } from '@composio/core';

const { COMPOSIO_API_KEY, USER_ID } = process.env;

if (!COMPOSIO_API_KEY || !USER_ID) {
  throw new Error('COMPOSIO_API_KEY and USER_ID required in .env');
}

const composioClient = new Composio({ apiKey: COMPOSIO_API_KEY });

const composioSession = await composioClient.create(USER_ID, {
  toolkits: ['identitycheck'],
});

const composioMcpUrl = composioSession?.mcp.url;

console.log(`MCP URL: ${composioMcpUrl}`);
console.log(`\nUse this command to add to Claude Code:`);
console.log(`claude mcp add --transport http identitycheck-composio "${composioMcpUrl}" --headers "X-API-Key:${COMPOSIO_API_KEY}"`);
```

### 6. Run the script and copy the MCP URL

No description provided.
```python
python generate_mcp_url.py
```

```typescript
node --loader ts-node/esm generate_mcp_url.ts
# or if using tsx
tsx generate_mcp_url.ts
```

### 7. Add Identitycheck MCP to Claude Code

In your terminal, add the MCP server using the command from the previous step. The command format is:
- claude mcp add registers a new MCP server with Claude Code
- --transport http specifies that this is an HTTP-based MCP server
- The server name (identitycheck-composio) is how you'll reference it
- The URL points to your Composio Tool Router session
- --headers includes your Composio API key for authentication
After running the command, close the current Claude Code session and start a new one for the changes to take effect.
```bash
claude mcp add --transport http identitycheck-composio "YOUR_MCP_URL_HERE" --headers "X-API-Key:YOUR_COMPOSIO_API_KEY"

# Then restart Claude Code
exit
claude
```

### 8. Verify the installation

Check that your Identitycheck MCP server is properly configured.
- This command lists all MCP servers registered with Claude Code
- You should see your identitycheck-composio entry in the list
- This confirms that Claude Code can now access Identitycheck tools
If everything is wired up, you should see your identitycheck-composio entry listed:
```bash
claude mcp list
```

### 9. Authenticate Identitycheck

The first time you try to use Identitycheck tools, you'll be prompted to authenticate.
- Claude Code will detect that you need to authenticate with Identitycheck
- It will show you an authentication link
- Open the link in your browser (or copy/paste it)
- Complete the Identitycheck authorization flow
- Return to the terminal and start using Identitycheck through Claude Code
Once authenticated, you can ask Claude Code to perform Identitycheck operations in natural language. For example:
- "Check onboarding status for a specific user"
- "List all successful onboardings from last week"
- "Fetch document content for a given onboarding"

## Complete Code

```python
import os
from composio import Composio
from dotenv import load_dotenv

load_dotenv()

COMPOSIO_API_KEY = os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY")
USER_ID = os.getenv("USER_ID")

composio_client = Composio(api_key=COMPOSIO_API_KEY)

composio_session = composio_client.create(
    user_id=USER_ID,
    toolkits=["identitycheck"],
)

COMPOSIO_MCP_URL = composio_session.mcp.url

print(f"MCP URL: {COMPOSIO_MCP_URL}")
print(f"\nUse this command to add to Claude Code:")
print(f'claude mcp add --transport http identitycheck-composio "{COMPOSIO_MCP_URL}" --headers "X-API-Key:{COMPOSIO_API_KEY}"')
```

```typescript
import 'dotenv/config';
import { Composio } from '@composio/core';

const { COMPOSIO_API_KEY, USER_ID } = process.env;

if (!COMPOSIO_API_KEY || !USER_ID) {
  throw new Error('COMPOSIO_API_KEY and USER_ID required in .env');
}

const composioClient = new Composio({ apiKey: COMPOSIO_API_KEY });

const composioSession = await composioClient.create(USER_ID, {
  toolkits: ['identitycheck'],
});

const composioMcpUrl = composioSession?.mcp.url;

console.log(`MCP URL: ${composioMcpUrl}`);
console.log(`\nUse this command to add to Claude Code:`);
console.log(`claude mcp add --transport http identitycheck-composio "${composioMcpUrl}" --headers "X-API-Key:${COMPOSIO_API_KEY}"`);
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Identitycheck MCP?

With a standalone Identitycheck MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Identitycheck tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Identitycheck and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

### Can I use Tool Router MCP with Claude Code?

Yes, you can. Claude Code 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 Identitycheck tools.

### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Identitycheck while using Tool Router?

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Identitycheck 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.

### How safe is my data with Composio Tool Router?

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 Identitycheck data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
