## 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 Pushinator account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to send outage alerts to subscribed devices, notify beta users about new builds, broadcast security alerts to mobile users, 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.

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

The Pushinator MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Pushinator account. It provides structured and secure access to your notification channels, so your agent can create and manage channels, review account details, and send real-time alerts to subscribers on your behalf.
- Notification channel creation: Have your agent create new notification channels with clear names and optional descriptions for different audiences or alert types.
- Real-time push notifications: Instruct your agent to send an immediate push notification to everyone subscribed to a chosen channel.
- Channel discovery and review: Let the agent list your notification channels or retrieve the details of a specific channel.
- Channel updates and cleanup: Direct your agent to rename channels, revise their descriptions, or permanently delete channels you no longer need.
- Connected account checks: Have your agent confirm which Pushinator user is associated with the connected API key.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `PUSHINATOR_CREATE_CHANNEL` | Create Channel | Create a Pushinator notification channel and return its channel ID and properties. |
| `PUSHINATOR_DELETE_CHANNEL` | Delete Channel | Permanently delete a Pushinator notification channel by ID. This is destructive and removes the channel from subsequent reads and lists. |
| `PUSHINATOR_GET_CHANNEL` | Get Channel | Get one Pushinator notification channel by its channel ID. |
| `PUSHINATOR_GET_CURRENT_USER` | Get Current User | Return the Pushinator user associated with the connected API key. Use this to identify the connected account or verify that its credentials work. |
| `PUSHINATOR_LIST_CHANNELS` | List Channels | List every notification channel belonging to the connected Pushinator account. Use a returned channel ID with get, update, delete, or send-notification tools. |
| `PUSHINATOR_SEND_NOTIFICATION` | Send Notification | Send a push notification immediately to all subscribers of a Pushinator channel. This is an externally visible, irreversible action that may consume the account's monthly notification quota.

| `PUSHINATOR_UPDATE_CHANNEL` | Update Channel | Replace the editable name and optional description of an existing Pushinator notification channel. |

## Troubleshooting

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

The connector can show as connected, but Claude must use it in each Pushinator conversation.
- Click + at the lower left of the chat, or type /.
- Hover Connectors.
- Turn on Composio.
- Ask Claude to connect to Pushinator again.

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

Claude can show Couldn't reach the MCP server or Authorization with the MCP server failed when you add the connector for Pushinator.
- 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 Pushinator.
- If it fails again, send the error and the ofid_ reference id to support@composio.dev.

### 3. Why does the Pushinator authorization link not work?

The Composio connector is one server. Your Pushinator account connects separately when Claude asks for it.
- If the browser does not open, or the link expires, ask Claude to retry the Pushinator connection.
- Composio creates a fresh Pushinator authorization link.
- Open that link in your browser and finish the Pushinator sign-in.

### 4. Why do Pushinator actions fail after they worked before?

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

### 5. How do I switch to a different Pushinator account?

Claude can manage the Pushinator connection for you.
- Ask Claude to disconnect or delete the current Pushinator account.
- Ask Claude to connect Pushinator again.
- Open the new Composio authorization link for Pushinator.
- Sign in with the other Pushinator account in the browser.
- After the account connects, ask Claude to retry the Pushinator task.

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

The connector belongs to your Claude account, so your Pushinator connection works in Claude Web, Desktop, and Cowork.
- In Claude Desktop, open Customize > Connectors.
- Next to Composio, click ⋮ and click Clear cache.
- If Pushinator 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 Pushinator.

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

The Pushinator MCP server connects Claude Web, Desktop, and Cowork to your Pushinator account through Composio. Once connected, Claude can use the available Pushinator tools and triggers to complete tasks on your behalf.

## Frequently Asked Questions

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

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

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

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 Pushinator tools.

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

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