Connect Claude to any app. Send emails, create issues, post messages, update databases - take real actions across Gmail, Slack, GitHub, Notion, and 1000+ services.
This is the playbook your agent receives when the skill activates โ you don't need to read it to use the skill, but it's here to audit before installing.
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

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.
