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 Clientary account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to create new invoice for a client, list all active projects this month, send payment reminder to overdue clients, 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 Clientary account

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

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "Create new invoice for a client"
  • "List all active projects this month"
  • "Send payment reminder to overdue clients"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Clientary MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Clientary account. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Clientary operations on your behalf.

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the Clientary authorization link not work?

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

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

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

The Clientary connection can expire or lose permission.

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

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

Claude can manage the Clientary connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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