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 Y gy account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to shorten this event registration link, list all short links I created, delete this expired promo short link, 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 Y gy account

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

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "Shorten this event registration link"
  • "List all short links I created"
  • "Delete this expired promo short link"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Y gy MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Y gy account. It provides structured and secure access to your link management, so your agent can perform actions like creating short links, organizing tags, retrieving analytics, and managing your URL resources automatically.

  • Instant short link creation: Quickly generate new short, branded links from long URLs, with support for custom domains or aliases—all via your agent's commands.
  • Comprehensive link management: List all your existing short links, fetch details for any link by ID, and remove outdated or unwanted short links effortlessly.
  • Tag organization and automation: Automatically create new tags to categorize links, fetch all available tags, or delete specific tags to keep your link library tidy and organized.
  • User onboarding and account management: Onboard new users to your Y gy workspace by registering accounts programmatically, streamlining access control and user management.

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the Y gy authorization link not work?

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

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

4. Why do Y gy actions fail after they worked before?

The Y gy connection can expire or lose permission.

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

5. How do I switch to a different Y gy account?

Claude can manage the Y gy connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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