Api Key

Anakin is a web automation platform offering scraping, crawling, search, and browser automation. Use it to extract structured data, automate site tasks, and monitor web changes reliably.

26 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 Anakin account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to scrape product prices from competitor site, monitor homepage for layout changes hourly, automate login and extract account data, 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 Anakin to Claude Web, Desktop, and Cowork

Two ways to add the Composio connector. Pick whichever you prefer.

1. Add with one click

Click the button. Claude opens with the Composio connector filled in. Click Add, then go to step 2.

Add to Claude

Add manually

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

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

2. Authorize in your browser

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

3. Connect your Anakin account

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

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "Scrape product prices from competitor site"
  • "Monitor homepage for layout changes hourly"
  • "Automate login and extract account data"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Anakin MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Anakin account. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Anakin operations on your behalf.

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the Anakin authorization link not work?

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

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

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

The Anakin connection can expire or lose permission.

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

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

Claude can manage the Anakin connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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