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 Algodocs account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to extract invoice totals from uploaded PDFs, pull key data fields from bank statements, summarize contract terms from scanned documents, 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.

Connecting Algodocs to Claude Web, Desktop, and Cowork

1. Open Customize

In Claude Desktop, click Customize in the left sidebar, then select Connectors and click the + icon at the top.

2. Add the Composio MCP server

Click Add custom connector and paste in the Composio MCP server URL:

bash

https://connect.composio.dev/mcp

Add custom connector dialog with Composio MCP server URL

3. Authorize in your browser

Click Connect. You'll be redirected to a browser window where you can authorize Composio to continue.

4. Connect your Algodocs account

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

For example, ask Claude to:

"Extract invoice totals from uploaded PDFs"
"Pull key data fields from bank statements"
"Summarize contract terms from scanned documents"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Algodocs MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Algodocs account. It provides structured and secure access to your document processing workflows, so your agent can perform actions like extracting key data, processing business documents, and automating document-driven tasks on your behalf.

Automated data extraction from documents: Seamlessly have your agent pull structured data from invoices, receipts, contracts, and other business files—no manual setup required.
Document upload and processing: Let your agent upload PDF, image, or scanned documents for instant AI-powered extraction and analysis.
Batch processing for bulk workflows: Direct your agent to process multiple documents at once, saving time on high-volume operations and back-office work.
Secure results delivery and export: Have your agent retrieve extracted data in structured formats (like CSV or JSON) and send it where you need it—databases, spreadsheets, or apps.
End-to-end automation for business paperwork: Empower your agent to trigger full document-processing pipelines, turning unstructured files into actionable insights without human intervention.

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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 Algodocs.
If it fails again, send the error and the ofid_ reference id to support@composio.dev.

3. Why does the Algodocs authorization link not work?

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

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

4. Why do Algodocs actions fail after they worked before?

The Algodocs connection can expire or lose permission.

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

5. How do I switch to a different Algodocs account?

Claude can manage the Algodocs connection for you.

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

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

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

In Claude Desktop, open Customize > Connectors.
Next to Composio, click ⋮ and click Clear cache.
If Algodocs 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 Algodocs.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

With a standalone Algodocs MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Algodocs tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Algodocs 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 Algodocs tools.

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Algodocs 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 Algodocs data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
