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 Skyfire account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to check your Skyfire wallet balance now, issue a Pay token for $10 to buy service, list all AI services available for purchase, 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 Skyfire account

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

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "Check your Skyfire wallet balance now"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Skyfire MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Skyfire account. It provides structured and secure access to your autonomous payment and transaction infrastructure, so your agent can create tokens, pay for services, check balances, audit charges, and discover available AI-powered services on your behalf.

  • Autonomous service payments: Let your agent issue payment tokens and seamlessly pay for AI services or digital goods without manual intervention.
  • Wallet balance and charge auditing: Have your agent check buyer wallet balances before transactions and audit token charges to track exactly what was spent and when.
  • Discovery of AI and digital services: Enable your agent to browse, filter, and retrieve detailed info about available services using tags or seller agents, streamlining selection and integration.
  • Token management and automation: Allow your agent to create, manage, and charge Skyfire tokens (KYA, PAY, KYA+PAY), handling sophisticated payment flows programmatically.
  • Service details and compliance checks: Instruct your agent to fetch detailed service terms, API specs, and integration URLs—helping ensure compliance and smooth onboarding before making purchases.

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the Skyfire authorization link not work?

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

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

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

The Skyfire connection can expire or lose permission.

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

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

Claude can manage the Skyfire connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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