SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Claude can normally only generate text about tasks like sending emails or creating issues, but cannot actually perform them. This Skill bridges that gap by connecting Claude to over 1000 external applications so it can execute real actions on your behalf. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Real Action Execution: Send emails, create GitHub issues, post Slack messages, and update Notion pages directly from a conversation. - Broad App Coverage: Works with Gmail, Outlook, Slack, Discord, GitHub, Jira, Notion, Google Sheets, Airtable, and 1000+ more services. - OAuth Authorization: First-time actions trigger a one-time OAuth flow to securely authorize each app. - Use Case: Ask Claude to "create a GitHub issue for the login bug and post a summary to Slack #engineering" and both actions are executed in the connected services. ## Quick Start Install the composio-toolrouter plugin, run the setup command with your free Composio API key, then ask Claude to send you a test email.

FAQPage Schema
How do I connect Claude to Gmail or Slack?

Install the composio-toolrouter plugin, run the setup command, and provide a free Composio API key. After restarting Claude Code, the first action in each app triggers a one-time OAuth authorization.

How do I send an email or create a GitHub issue with Claude?

After setup, simply ask in natural language, such as "send an email to [email protected] about the launch" or "create a GitHub issue for the login bug." The Composio Tool Router finds the right tool and executes the action.

What apps does the Composio tool router support?

It supports over 1000 apps including Gmail, Outlook, Slack, Discord, Teams, GitHub, GitLab, Jira, Linear, Notion, Google Docs, Sheets, Airtable, and PostgreSQL.

Why does Claude say the plugin is not found?

This error means the composio-toolrouter plugin was not installed. Run the plugin install command first, then complete the setup step before attempting any app actions.

What should I do when an app action fails?

First check that you completed the OAuth authorization by clicking the link Claude provides. If the action still fails, verify that your account has the required permissions in the target application.
