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 Simplekpi account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to show me top performing KPIs this month, add a new KPI for sales pipeline, generate a report on marketing metrics, 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 Simplekpi account

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

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "Show me top performing KPIs this month"
  • "Add a new KPI for sales pipeline"
  • "Generate a report on marketing metrics"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

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

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the Simplekpi authorization link not work?

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

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

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

The Simplekpi connection can expire or lose permission.

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

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

Claude can manage the Simplekpi connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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