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 Astica ai account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to transcribe this meeting recording to text, extract all text from uploaded receipt image, convert podcast audio link to transcript, 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 Astica ai account

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

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "Transcribe this meeting recording to text"
  • "Extract all text from uploaded receipt image"
  • "Convert podcast audio link to transcript"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Astica 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 Astica ai account. It provides structured and secure access to advanced cognitive intelligence APIs, so your agent can perform actions like analyzing audio, transcribing speech, extracting text from images, and automating media understanding tasks on your behalf.

  • Audio transcription automation: Instantly convert audio files or streams to accurate text using the Analyze Audio tool, perfect for meeting notes, podcasts, or voice memos.
  • OCR text extraction from images: Quickly read and extract raw text from images (like photos, scanned documents, or screenshots) with the ASTICA_READ_TEXT tool.
  • Seamless media processing: Let your agent process audio and visual inputs end-to-end, enabling smarter workflows that bridge speech and text content.
  • Hands-off document digitization: Automate the tedious process of turning printed or handwritten materials into searchable, editable text for downstream applications.

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

Claude can show Couldn't reach the MCP server or Authorization with the MCP server failed when you add the connector for Astica 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 Astica ai.
  • If it fails again, send the error and the ofid_ reference id to support@composio.dev.

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

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

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

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

The Astica ai connection can expire or lose permission.

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

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

Claude can manage the Astica ai connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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