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 Poof account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to send crypto payment to a vendor, check status of latest Poof transaction, generate invoice for client in USD, 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 Poof account

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

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "Send crypto payment to a vendor"
  • "Check status of latest Poof transaction"
  • "Generate invoice for client in USD"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Poof MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Poof account. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Poof operations on your behalf.

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the Poof authorization link not work?

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

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

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

The Poof connection can expire or lose permission.

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

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

Claude can manage the Poof connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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