Composio MCP — Auth Setup
Composio uses an API key to authenticate requests and manage your connected integrations.
1. Get your credentials
- Open the Composio Settings page (opens Composio — we never see your key)
- Navigate to API Keys and copy your existing key or generate a new one
2. Set environment variables
macOS / Linux — add to ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc:
export COMPOSIO_API_KEY=YOUR_API_KEY_HERE
Then run source ~/.zshrc (or open a new terminal).
Windows — run in Command Prompt (then restart):
setx COMPOSIO_API_KEY "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"
3. Verify
npx claude-skills doctor
You should see ✅ next to the Composio MCP entry. If you see ❌, confirm the key is set: echo $COMPOSIO_API_KEY.
4. Restart Claude Code
Quit and reopen Claude Code (or run /mcp list inside Claude Code to confirm the Composio MCP appears).
