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 Amara account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to list all subtitle languages for video ID, fetch English subtitles for given video, create new Spanish subtitle track for video, 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 Amara account

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

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "List all subtitle languages for video ID"
  • "Fetch English subtitles for given video"
  • "Create new Spanish subtitle track for video"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Amara MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Amara account. It provides structured and secure access to your subtitle and caption management tools, so your agent can perform actions like creating subtitles, managing languages, fetching video metadata, and handling teams on your behalf.

  • Subtitle creation and editing: Direct your agent to add notes, create new subtitle languages, and fetch subtitle data for any supported video.
  • Language management: Effortlessly list all available subtitle languages for a given video, retrieve supported language options, or fetch details about specific language tracks.
  • Video metadata retrieval: Ask your agent to get detailed information about any video URL, including its Amara ID, title, duration, and thumbnails.
  • Team and user management: Let your agent list all accessible teams, pull details for a specific team, or fetch user data by username or ID for streamlined collaboration.

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the Amara authorization link not work?

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

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

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

The Amara connection can expire or lose permission.

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

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

Claude can manage the Amara connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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