## 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 Vectorshift account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to trigger the lead qualification chatbot workflow, get status of the sales pipeline automation, update knowledge base with latest product FAQ, 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 Vectorshift MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Vectorshift MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Vectorshift account. It provides structured and secure access to your chatbots and pipelines, so your agent can create and find chatbots, review available pipelines, run pipelines, and process batches on your behalf.
- Chatbot creation: Have your agent create a new chatbot in your Vectorshift account.
- Chatbot discovery: Let the agent list your available chatbots or find a specific chatbot by name.
- Pipeline discovery: Direct your agent to list available pipelines or retrieve a specific pipeline by name.
- Pipeline execution: Instruct your agent to run a Vectorshift pipeline with the inputs needed for your task.
- Bulk pipeline processing: Have your agent run a pipeline across multiple sets of inputs in one batch.

## Supported Tools

## Troubleshooting

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

The connector can show as connected, but Claude must use it in each Vectorshift conversation.
- Click + at the lower left of the chat, or type /.
- Hover Connectors.
- Turn on Composio.
- Ask Claude to connect to Vectorshift again.

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

Claude can show Couldn't reach the MCP server or Authorization with the MCP server failed when you add the connector for Vectorshift.
- 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 Vectorshift.
- If it fails again, send the error and the ofid_ reference id to support@composio.dev.

### 3. Why does the Vectorshift authorization link not work?

The Composio connector is one server. Your Vectorshift account connects separately when Claude asks for it.
- If the browser does not open, or the link expires, ask Claude to retry the Vectorshift connection.
- Composio creates a fresh Vectorshift authorization link.
- Open that link in your browser and finish the Vectorshift sign-in.

### 4. Why do Vectorshift actions fail after they worked before?

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

### 5. How do I switch to a different Vectorshift account?

Claude can manage the Vectorshift connection for you.
- Ask Claude to disconnect or delete the current Vectorshift account.
- Ask Claude to connect Vectorshift again.
- Open the new Composio authorization link for Vectorshift.
- Sign in with the other Vectorshift account in the browser.
- After the account connects, ask Claude to retry the Vectorshift task.

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

The connector belongs to your Claude account, so your Vectorshift connection works in Claude Web, Desktop, and Cowork.
- In Claude Desktop, open Customize > Connectors.
- Next to Composio, click ⋮ and click Clear cache.
- If Vectorshift 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 Vectorshift.

## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK

The Vectorshift MCP server connects Claude Web, Desktop, and Cowork to your Vectorshift account through Composio. Once connected, Claude can use the available Vectorshift tools and triggers to complete tasks on your behalf.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Vectorshift MCP?

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

### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Vectorshift while using Tool Router?

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