When to use it
- ✓Sending an email directly.
- ✓Creating a task in a project management system.
- ✓Posting a message to a chat channel.
Example of what to ask your AI

How it works
You ask the AI to perform an action in another app. The tool finds the correct app, handles necessary permissions, and executes the action for you.
Installation
Easiest way: copy the skill link and paste it into Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor asking it to follow the instructions.
In the terminal (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor), in your project folder:
npx skills add ComposioHQ/awesome-claude-skills --skill connectOr download just the file:
curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ComposioHQ/awesome-claude-skills/master/connect/SKILL.md -o SKILL.mdTechnical content (original SKILL.md)

Connect
Connect Claude to any app. Stop generating text about what you could do - actually do it.
When to Use This Skill
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
What Changes
| 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 |

Setup
1. Get API Key
Get your free key at platform.composio.dev

export COMPOSIO_API_KEY="your-key"
3. Install
pip install composio # Python
npm install @composio/core # TypeScript
Done. Claude can now connect to any app.

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
How It Works
Uses Composio Tool Router:
- You ask Claude to do something
- Tool Router finds the right tool (1000+ options)
- OAuth handled automatically
- Action executes and returns result
Code
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!")
Auth Flow
First time using an app:
To send emails, I need Gmail access.
Authorize here: https://...
Say "connected" when done.
Connection persists after that.
Framework Support
| 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 |
Troubleshooting
- Auth required → Click link, authorize, say "connected"
- Action failed → Check permissions in target app
- Tool not found → Be specific: "Slack #general" not "send message"
