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 Tpscheck account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to check if this number is TPS registered, verify marketing call compliance for list, find provider and type for a number, 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 Tpscheck account

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "Check if this number is TPS registered"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Tpscheck MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Tpscheck account. It provides structured and secure access to UK phone number verification services, so your agent can instantly check TPS/CTPS registration, validate numbers, determine their type, and identify providers on your behalf.

  • Real-time TPS/CTPS registration checks: Instantly verify if any UK phone number is listed on the Telephone Preference Service (TPS) or Corporate TPS, ensuring compliance with marketing regulations.
  • Phone number validity verification: Quickly determine if a phone number is valid and active before using it for outreach or communication purposes.
  • Number type and classification detection: Identify whether a number is mobile, landline, or business, helping tailor your contact strategy accordingly.
  • Location and provider lookup: Retrieve geographic and telecom provider information for any UK number to better understand and segment your contact lists.

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the Tpscheck authorization link not work?

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

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

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

The Tpscheck connection can expire or lose permission.

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

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

Claude can manage the Tpscheck connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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