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 Brilliant directories account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to add a new member with company details, delete user and remove their uploaded images, list all categories used to organize members, 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 Brilliant directories account

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

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "Add a new member with company details"
  • "Delete user and remove their uploaded images"
  • "List all categories used to organize members"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Brilliant directories MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Brilliant directories account. It provides structured and secure access to your membership community and business directory platform, so your agent can perform actions like managing users, retrieving data categories, and automating lead and review workflows on your behalf.

  • User creation and management: Easily instruct your agent to create new users with detailed profiles or delete existing members, streamlining your directory's onboarding and maintenance.
  • Deep data category access: Ask your agent to fetch all available data categories from your site, making it simple to organize content or power dynamic site navigation experiences.
  • Lead field discovery and automation: Let your agent retrieve the full structure of your leads table, helping you automate lead capture, validation, or enrichment workflows with up-to-date field metadata.
  • Review field extraction and insights: Direct your agent to pull all available review fields, enabling smarter review management, analytics, or custom reporting based on your site’s feedback system.
  • User data field exploration: Have your agent fetch and analyze all user-related fields, supporting advanced user segmentation, targeted updates, or personalized communications.

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the Brilliant directories authorization link not work?

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

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

4. Why do Brilliant directories actions fail after they worked before?

The Brilliant directories connection can expire or lose permission.

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

5. How do I switch to a different Brilliant directories account?

Claude can manage the Brilliant directories connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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