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 Tally account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to list all forms I created this month, download latest responses from your survey form, add a webhook to notify on new submission, 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 Tally account

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

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "List all forms I created this month"
  • "Download latest responses from your survey form"
  • "Add a webhook to notify on new submission"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Tally MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Tally account. It provides structured and secure access to your forms and response data, so your agent can perform actions like creating forms, retrieving responses, managing webhooks, and automating data collection workflows on your behalf.

  • Automated form creation and management: Have your agent create new forms, update existing ones, or delete forms as needed—no manual setup required.
  • Seamless response collection and analysis: Instantly fetch all responses to any form, enabling real-time data analysis, exports, or notifications.
  • Detailed form insights and field discovery: Retrieve comprehensive details about a form’s configuration, fields, and settings to power dynamic workflows or audits.
  • Webhook automation and event monitoring: Set up and manage webhooks to trigger custom actions when new responses come in, and review delivery history for full visibility.
  • User account and access checks: Let your agent fetch authenticated user info to confirm account status or permissions before performing sensitive operations.

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the Tally authorization link not work?

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

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

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

The Tally connection can expire or lose permission.

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

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

Claude can manage the Tally connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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