39 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 BeatAPI account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to generate product video from images and music, analyze videos for scene changes and logos, create AI generated marketing video with soundtrack, 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 BeatAPI account

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

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "Generate product video from images and music"
  • "Analyze videos for scene changes and logos"
  • "Create AI generated marketing video with soundtrack"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The BeatAPI MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your BeatAPI account. It provides structured and secure access to AI image and video generation, video analysis, product-ad workflows, uploaded media, and account usage, so your agent can create images and videos, analyze uploaded videos, produce ecommerce ads, monitor tasks, and review usage on your behalf.

  • AI image and video creation: Have your agent review available generation models and start image or video creation tasks using the model that fits your project.
  • Ecommerce video production: Direct your agent to turn uploaded product images into product-ad videos for your online store or marketing campaign.
  • Video analysis: Let the agent upload a short video, submit it for analysis, and check the resulting storyboard or output.
  • Media uploads and creative discovery: Instruct your agent to upload images, audio, subtitles, or short videos, then explore available effects and workflows.
  • Task and usage monitoring: Have your agent track generation and analysis progress, review failures or completed outputs, and check balance, concurrency, and usage breakdowns.

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the BeatAPI authorization link not work?

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

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

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

The BeatAPI connection can expire or lose permission.

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

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

Claude can manage the BeatAPI connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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