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 Short menu account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to shorten this blog post URL with a custom slug, show me all available custom domains, create a short link with the marketing tag, 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 Short menu account

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

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "Shorten this blog post URL with a custom slug"
  • "Show me all available custom domains"
  • "Create a short link with the marketing tag"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Short menu MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Short menu account. It provides structured and secure access to your link management, so your agent can create short URLs, manage custom domains, and streamline your link shortening workflow on your behalf.

  • Instant short link creation: Direct your agent to generate new short URLs from any target link, with optional customizations like domain selection, tags, or custom slugs.
  • Custom domain management: Let your agent fetch and display the available custom domains tied to your Short menu account, making branded link creation seamless.
  • Personalized link organization: Use your agent to add metadata—such as tags or custom slugs—while creating links, so you can organize and track them more effectively.
  • Seamless integration with workflows: Automatically generate short links as part of larger tasks or automations, reducing manual copy-paste and saving time.

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the Short menu authorization link not work?

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

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

4. Why do Short menu actions fail after they worked before?

The Short menu connection can expire or lose permission.

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

5. How do I switch to a different Short menu account?

Claude can manage the Short menu connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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