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 ThoughtSpot Spotter account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to find trends in quarterly sales data, explain root cause of traffic drop, create dashboard of top customer segments, 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 ThoughtSpot Spotter Claude Connector, and what's possible with it?

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

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the ThoughtSpot Spotter authorization link not work?

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

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

4. Why do ThoughtSpot Spotter actions fail after they worked before?

The ThoughtSpot Spotter connection can expire or lose permission.

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

5. How do I switch to a different ThoughtSpot Spotter account?

Claude can manage the ThoughtSpot Spotter connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which ThoughtSpot Spotter 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.
