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 Polygon account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to show the latest closing price for BTC-USD, list all stock tickers traded on NASDAQ, get the crypto RSI for ETH over 14 days, 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 Polygon account

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

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "Show the latest closing price for BTC-USD"
  • "List all stock tickers traded on NASDAQ"
  • "Get the crypto RSI for ETH over 14 days"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Polygon MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Polygon account. It provides structured and secure access to real-time and historical financial market data, so your agent can retrieve market status, analyze price indicators, track dividends, and monitor crypto and stock tickers on your behalf.

  • Market status and holiday tracking: Instantly check if U.S. exchanges are open or closed and retrieve upcoming market holidays or early closures to plan trading activities.
  • Comprehensive ticker retrieval: Ask your agent to fetch all available ticker symbols across asset classes, including stocks, crypto, forex, and options, filtered by market or exchange.
  • Crypto technical analysis: Have your agent calculate moving averages (EMA, SMA), MACD, and RSI indicators for specific cryptocurrencies to support informed trading decisions.
  • Daily and historical price fetching: Let your agent retrieve daily open/close prices, previous day’s close, or detailed price history for cryptocurrencies and stocks with just a prompt.
  • Dividend data extraction: Effortlessly access up-to-date corporate dividend information for stocks, enabling portfolio reviews and income analysis.

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the Polygon authorization link not work?

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

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

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

The Polygon connection can expire or lose permission.

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

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

Claude can manage the Polygon connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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