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 Timelinesai account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to get the last 10 messages from sales chat, list all unread WhatsApp chats assigned to me, create webhook for new incoming messages, 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 Timelinesai account

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

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "Get the last 10 messages from sales chat"
  • "List all unread WhatsApp chats assigned to me"
  • "Create webhook for new incoming messages"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Timelinesai MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Timelinesai account. It provides structured and secure access to your WhatsApp communications, so your agent can retrieve chat messages, manage files, automate webhook workflows, and keep your team’s communication organized—all on your behalf.

  • WhatsApp chat management: Fetch recent or historical messages from specific chats, or list all active and unread chats to help you stay on top of conversations.
  • Automated webhook integration: Set up, review, or delete webhook subscriptions to automate notifications and keep your workflows synced across tools.
  • File and attachment handling: List uploaded files, retrieve file details or secure download links, and delete files when they’re no longer needed.
  • WhatsApp account verification: Quickly list and verify all WhatsApp accounts connected to your workspace for streamlined onboarding and troubleshooting.
  • Workspace insight and cleanup: Get a comprehensive view of all webhooks or uploaded files, making workspace management and housekeeping a breeze.

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the Timelinesai authorization link not work?

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

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

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

The Timelinesai connection can expire or lose permission.

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

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

Claude can manage the Timelinesai connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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