name: connect
description: Connect Claude to any app. Send emails, create issues, post messages, update databases - take real actions across Gmail, Slack, GitHub, Notion, and 1000+ services.

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 |

Supported Apps

**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

Setup

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

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.

Examples

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

How It Works

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

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"
