connect

Use this skill when you need Claude to:

• Send that email instead of drafting it
• Create that issue instead of describing it
• Post that message instead of suggesting it
• Update that database instead of explaining how

| Without Connect | With Connect |

|-----------------|--------------|

| "Here's a draft email..." | Sends the email |

| "You should create an issue..." | Creates the issue |

| "Post this to Slack..." | Posts it |

| "Add this to Notion..." | Adds it |

1000+ integrations including:

• Email: Gmail, Outlook, SendGrid
• Chat: Slack, Discord, Teams, Telegram
• Dev: GitHub, GitLab, Jira, Linear
• Docs: Notion, Google Docs, Confluence
• Data: Sheets, Airtable, PostgreSQL
• CRM: HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive
• Storage: Drive, Dropbox, S3
• Social: Twitter, LinkedIn, Reddit

1. Get API Key

Get your free key at [platform.composio.dev](https://platform.composio.dev/?utm_source=Github&utm_content=AwesomeSkills)

2. Set Environment Variable

```bash

export COMPOSIO_API_KEY="your-key"

```

3. Install

```bash

pip install composio # Python

npm install @composio/core # TypeScript

```

Done. Claude can now connect to any app.

Send Email

```

Email sarah@acme.com - Subject: "Shipped!" Body: "v2.0 is live, let me know if issues"

```

Create GitHub Issue

```

Create issue in my-org/repo: "Mobile timeout bug" with label:bug

```

Post to Slack

```

Post to #engineering: "Deploy complete - v2.4.0 live"

```

Chain Actions

```

Find GitHub issues labeled "bug" from this week, summarize, post to #bugs on Slack

```

Uses Composio Tool Router:

1. You ask Claude to do something
2. Tool Router finds the right tool (1000+ options)
3. OAuth handled automatically
4. Action executes and returns result

Code

```python

from composio import Composio

from claude_agent_sdk.client import ClaudeSDKClient

from claude_agent_sdk.types import ClaudeAgentOptions

import os

composio = Composio(api_key=os.environ["COMPOSIO_API_KEY"])

session = composio.create(user_id="user_123")

options = ClaudeAgentOptions(

system_prompt="You can take actions in external apps.",

mcp_servers={

"composio": {

"type": "http",

"url": session.mcp.url,

"headers": {"x-api-key": os.environ["COMPOSIO_API_KEY"]},

}

},

)

async with ClaudeSDKClient(options) as client:

await client.query("Send Slack message to #general: Hello!")

```

First time using an app:

```

To send emails, I need Gmail access.

Authorize here: https://...

Say "connected" when done.

```

Connection persists after that.

| Framework | Install |

|-----------|---------|

| Claude Agent SDK | pip install composio claude-agent-sdk |

| OpenAI Agents | pip install composio openai-agents |

| Vercel AI | npm install @composio/core @composio/vercel |

| LangChain | pip install composio-langchain |

| Any MCP Client | Use session.mcp.url |

• Auth required → Click link, authorize, say "connected"
• Action failed → Check permissions in target app
• Tool not found → Be specific: "Slack #general" not "send message"
