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 Cincopa account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to upload this video from a Dropbox link, check status of your latest image upload, abort the ongoing upload for this audio file, 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 Cincopa account

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

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "Upload this video from a Dropbox link"
  • "Check status of your latest image upload"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Cincopa MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Cincopa account. It provides structured and secure access to your multimedia libraries, so your agent can perform actions like uploading new media, monitoring upload progress, validating connections, and managing ongoing uploads on your behalf.

  • Remote media uploading: Effortlessly instruct your agent to upload new videos, images, or audio directly from external URLs into your Cincopa galleries or asset collections.
  • Upload status tracking: Have your agent check and report the real-time status of ongoing or recently initiated media uploads for better workflow oversight.
  • Abort in-progress uploads: Direct your agent to cancel unnecessary or stalled asset uploads to keep your media workspace organized and efficient.
  • API connection validation: Let your agent verify and confirm your API credentials and connectivity with Cincopa, ensuring secure and reliable integration at all times.

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the Cincopa authorization link not work?

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

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

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

The Cincopa connection can expire or lose permission.

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

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

Claude can manage the Cincopa connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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