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 Alttext ai account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to generate alt text for new uploaded image, list images missing alt descriptions, search images by keyword in alt text, 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 Alttext ai account

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

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "Generate alt text for new uploaded image"
  • "List images missing alt descriptions"
  • "Search images by keyword in alt text"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Alttext ai MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Alttext ai account. It provides structured and secure access to your image library and account, so your agent can retrieve images, generate and search alt text, update account settings, and manage your Alttext.ai workflow on your behalf.

  • Automated image library browsing: Instantly fetch and paginate through your stored images, complete with their alt text and metadata, to keep track of your visual assets.
  • Keyword-based image searches: Direct your agent to search your image collection and find specific images or alt text based on custom search terms or filters.
  • Account monitoring and insights: Check your Alttext.ai account configuration, review current usage limits, and monitor your plan details or webhook settings—no manual dashboard visits needed.
  • Account configuration management: Let your agent update your account details, such as webhook URLs or display names, to streamline your integration and notification setup.

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the Alttext ai authorization link not work?

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

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

4. Why do Alttext ai actions fail after they worked before?

The Alttext ai connection can expire or lose permission.

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

5. How do I switch to a different Alttext ai account?

Claude can manage the Alttext ai connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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