21RISK is a web app built for easy checklist, audit, and compliance management. It streamlines risk processes so teams can focus on what matters.

8 Tools

Introduction

Claude is Anthropic's AI assistant, available on the web, in the desktop app, and on mobile. Cowork is its agent for knowledge work, and it runs on all of those surfaces too. Connected to your apps, Claude can work with your files and services to accomplish complex tasks on your behalf.

This guide walks you through the easiest and most secure way to connect your 21risk account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to download audit reports for last quarter, list all sites with open compliance issues, fetch monthly risk data for top properties, and more such actions on your behalf without compromising your account security.

Setup is the same on Claude Web, Desktop, and Cowork, and you only need to do it once. The connector is tied to your account, so it's available in all three.

3. Connect your 21risk account

Back in Claude, ask it to connect to 21risk or give it any 21risk-related task.

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "Download audit reports for last quarter"
  • "List all sites with open compliance issues"
  • "Fetch monthly risk data for top properties"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

That's it. Composio's tools are now available in Claude, and your 21risk account is ready to use.

What is the 21risk Claude Connector, and what's possible with it?

The 21risk MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your 21risk account. It provides structured and secure access to your checklists, audits, compliance data, and risk models, so your agent can retrieve reports, analyze compliance status, and streamline audit management on your behalf.

  • Automated compliance insights and analytics: Instantly fetch compliance data for sites, categories, or specific questions to support analytics and reporting needs.
  • Audit report management: Retrieve draft, published, or scheduled audit reports, enabling your agent to monitor progress or summarize findings.
  • Risk model and category exploration: Let your agent list and filter available risk models and categories to assist with compliance checks and risk assessments.
  • Monthly item tracking and analysis: Query detailed fact tables of items per month for granular, time-based risk or compliance monitoring.
  • Site, organization, and property retrieval: Automatically list sites, organizations, and property details, helping you organize and cross-reference risk and compliance data efficiently.

Troubleshooting

1. Why does Claude not use the Composio connector for 21risk?

The connector can show as connected, but Claude must use it in each 21risk conversation.

  • Click + at the lower left of the chat, or type /.
  • Hover Connectors.
  • Turn on Composio.
  • Ask Claude to connect to 21risk again.

2. Why does Claude show an MCP server error before 21risk connects?

Claude can show Couldn't reach the MCP server or Authorization with the MCP server failed when you add the connector for 21risk.

  • Check that the connector URL is https://connect.composio.dev/mcp.
  • Connectors run from Anthropic's cloud, so your device network is usually not the problem.
  • Add the connector again from Customize > Connectors, then ask Claude to connect 21risk.
  • If it fails again, send the error and the ofid_ reference id to support@composio.dev.

3. Why does the 21risk authorization link not work?

The Composio connector is one server. Your 21risk account connects separately when Claude asks for it.

  • If the browser does not open, or the link expires, ask Claude to retry the 21risk connection.
  • Composio creates a fresh 21risk authorization link.
  • Open that link in your browser and finish the 21risk sign-in.

4. Why do 21risk actions fail after they worked before?

The 21risk connection can expire or lose permission.

  • Ask Claude to inspect the 21risk connection.
  • If the connection is unhealthy, disconnect it when Claude prompts you.
  • Reconnect the 21risk account and retry the action.
  • If Claude shows a permission prompt, approve it before Claude changes data in 21risk.
  • If the action still fails with a permission error, check that the connected account has that permission in 21risk itself.

5. How do I switch to a different 21risk account?

Claude can manage the 21risk connection for you.

  • Ask Claude to disconnect or delete the current 21risk account.
  • Ask Claude to connect 21risk again.
  • Open the new Composio authorization link for 21risk.
  • Sign in with the other 21risk account in the browser.
  • After the account connects, ask Claude to retry the 21risk task.

6. Why is my 21risk connection missing in Claude Desktop or on a Team plan?

The connector belongs to your Claude account, so your 21risk connection works in Claude Web, Desktop, and Cowork.

  • In Claude Desktop, open Customize > Connectors.
  • Next to Composio, click ⋮ and click Clear cache.
  • If 21risk tools still do not appear, click ⋮, disconnect, remove the connector, and add it again.
  • On Team or Enterprise, an Owner or Primary Owner must enable the connector before you can connect 21risk.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

With a standalone 21risk MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of 21risk tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from 21risk and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

Yes, you can. Claude Cowork fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right 21risk tools.

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which 21risk scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do.

All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your 21risk data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
