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 Better proposals account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to list all proposals sent this month, create a new company profile, show available proposal templates for selection, 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 Better proposals account

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

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "List all proposals sent this month"
  • "Create a new company profile"
  • "Show available proposal templates for selection"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Better Proposals MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Better Proposals account. It provides structured and secure access to your proposals workspace, so your agent can perform actions like creating companies, generating proposals, listing templates, and managing document types on your behalf.

  • Automated proposal creation: Instruct your agent to generate new proposal covers or assemble entire proposals using customizable templates and dynamic content.
  • Company and client management: Let your agent create new companies, retrieve lists of existing clients, and keep your contacts organized for faster proposal delivery.
  • Template and document type selection: Ask your agent to fetch available templates and document types, helping you choose the right style and format every time.
  • Quote and currency handling: Have your agent list all available quotes and supported currencies, streamlining the pricing and invoicing process for your proposals.
  • Bulk data retrieval and reporting: Direct the agent to gather lists of all proposals, document types, or companies for easy review, reporting, or dashboarding.

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the Better proposals authorization link not work?

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

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

4. Why do Better proposals actions fail after they worked before?

The Better proposals connection can expire or lose permission.

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

5. How do I switch to a different Better proposals account?

Claude can manage the Better proposals connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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