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 Ko fi account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to list recent supporters and donation amounts, check current membership subscriptions, show latest messages from supporters, 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 Ko fi account

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

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "List recent supporters and donation amounts"
  • "Check current membership subscriptions"
  • "Show latest messages from supporters"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Ko-fi MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Ko-fi account. It provides structured and secure access to your Ko-fi platform, so your agent can help you manage donations, memberships, and supporter engagement automatically.

  • Donation tracking and insights: Let your agent retrieve and summarize recent donations so you always know who’s supporting you.
  • Membership management: Enable your agent to pull membership details, helping you recognize and engage with your regular supporters.
  • Sales and shop updates: Get notifications or updates on new sales and product transactions, keeping your creative business on track.
  • Supporter communication: Allow your agent to find supporter messages or comments, so you can respond quickly and keep your audience engaged.
  • Automated supporter analytics: Ask your agent to analyze supporter trends and activity, making it easier to understand and grow your community.

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the Ko fi authorization link not work?

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

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

4. Why do Ko fi actions fail after they worked before?

The Ko fi connection can expire or lose permission.

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

5. How do I switch to a different Ko fi account?

Claude can manage the Ko fi connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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