Adds Composio MCP server as an alternative integration method for tools lacking native MCP support (HubSpot, Salesforce, Meta Ads, LinkedIn Ads, Google Sheets, Slack, Notion, etc.). Existing CLIs and MCP servers are unchanged — Composio is additive only. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Composio
Managed OAuth and pre-built tool connectors for 500+ apps via a single MCP server. Provides agent-native access to marketing tools that lack native MCP support.
Capabilities
| Integration | Available | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| API | ✓ | REST API for managing connections and triggering actions |
| MCP | ✓ | Single MCP server exposes all connected tools |
| CLI | ✓ | npx composio for managing apps, connections, and actions |
| SDK | ✓ | TypeScript and Python SDKs |
Authentication
- Type: OAuth 2.0 (per-tool, managed by Composio) or API Key
- Setup:
npx @composio/mcp@latest setupto install, then authenticate each tool via Connect Link in browser - API Key (optional):
COMPOSIO_API_KEYenv var for advanced/team usage
Composio handles OAuth token management, refresh, and storage for all connected tools. Individual tool auth types are listed in the Marketing Tools table below.
When to Use Composio vs. Native Tools
Composio is an alternative integration method, not a replacement. Use this decision guide:
| Scenario | Use |
|---|---|
| Tool has native MCP server (GA4, Stripe, Mailchimp) | Native MCP server |
| Tool has CLI but no MCP (Meta Ads, LinkedIn Ads, HubSpot) | Composio for MCP access |
| OAuth-heavy tool with no CLI (Google Sheets, Slack, Notion) | Composio |
| Need deep, customized integration | Native API + CLI |
| Need quick read/write access across many tools | Composio |
| Tool not covered by Composio | Native API guide |
Setup
1. Install the MCP server
npx @composio/mcp@latest setup
This adds the Composio MCP server to your Claude Code configuration.
2. Verify installation
In Claude Code, run /mcp to confirm composio appears in your MCP server list.
3. Authenticate a tool
When you first use a Composio-backed tool, you'll receive a Connect Link. Open it in your browser to complete OAuth. The connection persists across sessions.
# Example: connect HubSpot
> "Pull my top 10 HubSpot contacts"
# Agent will prompt: "Please authenticate HubSpot: [Connect Link]"
# Click link → authorize → done
4. API key (optional)
For advanced usage or team setups, set your Composio API key:
export COMPOSIO_API_KEY=your_key_here

| Salesforce | SALESFORCE |
OAuth 2.0 | Deep (SOQL, objects, leads, opportunities) |
| Meta Ads | FACEBOOKADS |
OAuth 2.0 | Medium (campaigns, ad sets, insights) |
| LinkedIn Ads | LINKEDIN |
OAuth 2.0 | Medium (campaigns, analytics, company pages) |

Alternative to Existing Tools
These tools already have native MCP or CLI in this repo. Composio provides an alternative path:
| Tool | Native Integration | Composio Toolkit | When to Use Composio |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mailchimp | MCP ✓, CLI ✓ | MAILCHIMP |
If native MCP setup fails |
| Google Ads | MCP ✓, CLI ✓ | GOOGLEADS |
If OAuth is simpler via Composio |
| Stripe | MCP ✓, CLI ✓ | STRIPE |
Prefer native (deeper coverage) |
| GA4 | MCP ✓, CLI ✓ | GOOGLEANALYTICS |
Prefer native (deeper coverage) |
Common Agent Operations
List available tools
# Via Composio CLI
npx composio apps list
Check connection status
npx composio connections list
Trigger an action programmatically
POST https://backend.composio.dev/api/v1/actions/{action_id}/execute
{
"connectedAccountId": "account_xxx",
"input": {
"query": "contact email = user@example.com"
}
}
Disconnect a tool
npx composio connections remove {connection_id}
Example Workflows
Pull CRM data into a spreadsheet
> "Get my top 20 HubSpot contacts by last activity and add them to a Google Sheet"
Agent uses Composio's HUBSPOT to fetch contacts and GOOGLESHEETS to write rows.
Cross-platform ad reporting
> "Compare my Meta Ads and LinkedIn Ads spend this month"
Agent uses FACEBOOKADS and LINKEDIN toolkits to pull campaign data.
Notify team about new leads
> "Get my Salesforce leads from today and post a summary in Slack #sales"
Agent uses SALESFORCE to read leads and SLACK to post messages.
Limitations
- Coverage depth varies — some toolkits expose hundreds of actions (HubSpot, Google Sheets), others only a handful
- No customization — you can't modify Composio's action schemas or add custom endpoints
- Vendor dependency — if Composio's servers are down, all connected tools are unavailable
- Rate limits apply — Composio enforces its own rate limits on top of each tool's native limits
- OAuth tokens — managed by Composio; you don't control token refresh or storage
- Action naming — Composio action names may differ from native API terminology
