# How to connect Threads to Claude ```json { "title": "How to connect Threads to Claude", "toolkit": "Threads", "toolkit_slug": "threads", "framework": "Claude Cowork", "framework_slug": "claude-cowork", "url": "https://composio.dev/toolkits/threads/framework/claude-cowork", "markdown_url": "https://composio.dev/toolkits/threads/framework/claude-cowork.md", "updated_at": "2026-10-25T05:35:47.201Z" } ``` ## 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 Threads account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to publish today's product update on Threads, find public Threads posts about product launches, analyze engagement on your recent Threads posts, 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. ## Also integrate Threads with - [ChatGPT](https://composio.dev/toolkits/threads/framework/chatgpt) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/threads/framework/hermes-agent) - [Atomic Agent](https://composio.dev/toolkits/threads/framework/atomic-agent) ## Connect Threads to Claude Cowork ### Connecting Threads to Claude Web, Desktop, and Cowork Two ways to add the Composio connector. Pick whichever you prefer. ### 1. Add with one click Click the button. Claude opens with the Composio connector filled in. Click Add, then go to step 2. [Add to Claude](https://claude.ai/customize/connectors?modal=add-custom-connector&connectorName=Composio&connectorUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fconnect.composio.dev%2Fmcp) ### Add manually In Claude Desktop, click Customize in the left sidebar, then select Connectors and click the + icon at the top. Click Add custom connector and paste in the Composio MCP server URL: ```bash https://connect.composio.dev/mcp ``` ## What is the Threads MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Threads MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Threads account. It provides structured and secure access to publishing, replies, public content, profile details, and performance insights, so your agent can publish posts, manage conversations, discover content, and analyze engagement on your behalf. - Post publishing and sharing: Have your agent publish text, image, video, carousel, quote, poll, ghost, GIF, or text-attachment posts, and optionally share them as Instagram Stories. - Conversation management: Let the agent reply to posts, list replies and mentions, review pending replies, and hide or unhide replies on posts you manage. - Public content discovery: Direct your agent to search posts by keyword or topic tag, look up public profiles, browse their posts, and find locations for post tagging. - Profile and post analytics: Instruct your agent to retrieve profile insights, post engagement metrics, publishing limits, and your profile details. - Content maintenance: Have your agent list your posts, replies, ghost posts, and reposts, then delete posts or repost content when needed. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `THREADS_CREATE_AND_SHARE_POST` | Create and Share Post | Create and publish a top-level Threads post and cross-share it to the linked Instagram account as a Story. Returns crossreshare_to_ig_status to report whether the Story cross-share succeeded independently of Threads publication. | | `THREADS_CREATE_POST` | Create Post | Create and publish a top-level Threads text, image, video, carousel, quote, poll, ghost, GIF, or text-attachment post, optionally with a location tag. | | `THREADS_CREATE_REPLY` | Create Reply | Create and publish a reply to a Threads post, including a text, image, video, carousel, quote, poll, GIF, or text-attachment reply. | | `THREADS_DELETE_POST` | Delete Post | Permanently delete a Threads post owned by the connected profile. | | `THREADS_GET_LOCATION` | Get Location | Retrieve one Threads location by ID for inspection or post tagging. | | `THREADS_GET_MY_PROFILE` | Get My Profile | Return the connected or app-scoped Threads user's profile and identity fields. | | `THREADS_GET_POST` | Get Post | Retrieve one Threads post by ID. Third-party posts may be unavailable until the Meta app has advanced access. | | `THREADS_GET_POST_EMBED` | Get Post Embed | Return embeddable HTML and oEmbed metadata for a public Threads post. | | `THREADS_GET_POST_INSIGHTS` | Get Post Insights | Return selected lifetime engagement metrics for one post owned by the connected Threads profile. | | `THREADS_GET_PROFILE_INSIGHTS` | Get Profile Insights | Return one time-window page of selected profile time-series, totals, link clicks, follower counts, or follower demographics for a Threads profile. | | `THREADS_GET_PUBLISHING_LIMITS` | Get Publishing Limits | Return current usage and configured quota for Threads posts, replies, deletes, location searches, or all publishing categories. | | `THREADS_LIST_GHOST_POSTS` | List Ghost Posts | List active and archived ghost posts created by the connected Threads profile, one cursor page at a time. | | `THREADS_LIST_MY_MENTIONS` | List My Mentions | List public Threads posts that mention the connected profile, one cursor page at a time. With development access, Threads may return only mentions made by app testers, so an empty page does not prove that no public mentions exist. | | `THREADS_LIST_MY_POSTS` | List My Posts | List posts created by the connected Threads profile, one cursor page at a time. | | `THREADS_LIST_MY_REPLIES` | List My Replies | List replies created by the connected Threads profile, one cursor page at a time. | | `THREADS_LIST_PENDING_REPLIES` | List Pending Replies | List one page of pending or ignored replies for an owned Threads post. The post must have been created with reply approvals enabled. | | `THREADS_LIST_POST_REPLIES` | List Post Replies | Return either immediate replies or the flattened full conversation for a Threads post, one cursor page at a time. | | `THREADS_LIST_PUBLIC_PROFILE_POSTS` | List Public Profile Posts | List one cursor page of posts from a qualifying public Threads profile by exact username. Standard or unreviewed app access is restricted to selected official Meta accounts, and returned post IDs may not support direct retrieval until the app has advanced access. | | `THREADS_LOOKUP_PUBLIC_PROFILE` | Lookup Public Profile | Look up a qualifying public Threads profile by exact username. Profiles generally need at least 100 followers, and standard or unreviewed app access is restricted to selected official Meta accounts. | | `THREADS_REPOST_POST` | Repost Post | Repost an existing Threads post to the connected profile; this creates a visible post. | | `THREADS_REVIEW_PENDING_REPLY` | Review Pending Reply | Approve or ignore one pending reply; an ignored reply can later be approved. | | `THREADS_SEARCH_LOCATIONS` | Search Locations | Search Threads locations by text, coordinates, or both. Returns the provider-ranked unpaginated result set. | | `THREADS_SEARCH_POSTS` | Search Posts | Search one page of Threads posts by keyword or topic tag.

Why does Claude not use the Composio connector for Threads? The connector can show as connected, but Claude must use it in each Threads conversation. - Click + at the lower left of the chat, or type /. - Hover Connectors. - Turn on Composio. - Ask Claude to connect to Threads again. ### 2. Why does Claude show an MCP server error before Threads connects? Claude can show Couldn't reach the MCP server or Authorization with the MCP server failed when you add the connector for Threads. - 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 Threads. - If it fails again, send the error and the ofid_ reference id to support@composio.dev. ### 3. Why does the Threads authorization link not work? The Composio connector is one server. Your Threads account connects separately when Claude asks for it. - If the browser does not open, or the link expires, ask Claude to retry the Threads connection. - Composio creates a fresh Threads authorization link. - Open that link in your browser and finish the Threads sign-in. ### 4. Why do Threads actions fail after they worked before? The Threads connection can expire or lose permission. - Ask Claude to inspect the Threads connection. - If the connection is unhealthy, disconnect it when Claude prompts you. - Reconnect the Threads account and retry the action. - If Claude shows a permission prompt, approve it before Claude changes data in Threads. - If the action still fails with a permission error, check that the connected account has that permission in Threads itself. ### 5. How do I switch to a different Threads account? Claude can manage the Threads connection for you. - Ask Claude to disconnect or delete the current Threads account. - Ask Claude to connect Threads again. - Open the new Composio authorization link for Threads. - Sign in with the other Threads account in the browser. - After the account connects, ask Claude to retry the Threads task. ### 6. Why is my Threads connection missing in Claude Desktop or on a Team plan? The connector belongs to your Claude account, so your Threads connection works in Claude Web, Desktop, and Cowork. - In Claude Desktop, open Customize > Connectors. - Next to Composio, click ⋮ and click Clear cache. - If Threads 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 Threads. ## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK The Threads MCP server connects Claude Web, Desktop, and Cowork to your Threads account through Composio. Once connected, Claude can use the available Threads tools and triggers to complete tasks on your behalf. ## Complete Code None listed. ## How to build Threads MCP Agent with another framework - [ChatGPT](https://composio.dev/toolkits/threads/framework/chatgpt) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/threads/framework/hermes-agent) - [Atomic Agent](https://composio.dev/toolkits/threads/framework/atomic-agent) ## Related Toolkits - [Twitter](https://composio.dev/toolkits/twitter) - Twitter is a social media platform for sharing real-time updates, conversations, and news.

With a standalone Threads MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Threads tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Threads and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint. ### Can I use Tool Router MCP with Claude Cowork? 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 Threads tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Threads while using Tool Router? Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Threads 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. ### How safe is my data with Composio Tool Router? 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 Threads data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
