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most secure way to connect your Apaleo account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to archive a property that's no longer active, clone existing property for new location, create a new unit group for suites, and more such actions on your behalf without compromising your account security.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 Apaleo 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 Apaleo account

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

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "Archive a property that's no longer active"
  • "Clone existing property for new location"
  • "Create a new unit group for suites"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Apaleo MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Apaleo account. It provides structured and secure access to your property management operations, so your agent can perform actions like managing properties, handling units, checking availability, and automating setup tasks on your behalf.

  • Property management and archiving: Enable your agent to create, clone, or archive properties, letting you quickly scale or reorganize your portfolio as your business evolves.
  • Unit and unit group operations: Let your agent create new units or unit groups, check if specific units exist, and manage all aspects of your inventory with ease.
  • Attribute and setup automation: Ask your agent to create or verify unit attributes, ensuring your property data is always up-to-date and consistent.
  • Bulk unit creation: Allow your agent to generate multiple units in one go, following custom naming rules, to save you time during onboarding or expansion.
  • Property cloning and rapid deployment: Have your agent clone existing properties with all inventory and rate plans, making it simple to launch new locations based on proven setups.

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the Apaleo authorization link not work?

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

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

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

The Apaleo connection can expire or lose permission.

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

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

Claude can manage the Apaleo connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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