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 Cloudconvert account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to convert a PDF to Word document format, export a converted file directly to S3, list all supported video conversion formats, 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.

Connecting Cloudconvert to Claude Web, Desktop, and Cowork

1. Open Customize

In Claude Desktop, click Customize in the left sidebar, then select Connectors and click the + icon at the top.

2. Add the Composio MCP server

Click Add custom connector and paste in the Composio MCP server URL:

bash
https://connect.composio.dev/mcp
Add custom connector dialog with Composio MCP server URL

3. Authorize in your browser

Click Connect. You'll be redirected to a browser window where you can authorize Composio to continue.

4. Connect your Cloudconvert account

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

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "Convert a PDF to Word document format"
  • "Export a converted file directly to S3"
  • "List all supported video conversion formats"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Cloudconvert MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your CloudConvert account. It provides structured and secure access to your file conversion workflows, so your agent can perform actions like converting files, exporting results to cloud storage, managing webhooks, and exploring supported formats on your behalf.

  • Seamless file conversion: Ask your agent to convert documents, images, audio, video, spreadsheets, or presentations between hundreds of supported formats automatically.
  • Automated export to cloud storage: Direct your agent to export converted files directly into your Google Cloud Storage or Amazon S3 buckets, streamlining storage and distribution.
  • Format discovery and optimization: Have the agent list all supported conversion formats, engines, and options, so you can choose the best settings for your needs.
  • Webhook management: Let your agent create, list, or delete webhooks to receive real-time notifications about conversion events and automate downstream processes.
  • Task tracking and user info: Retrieve detailed task histories, filter by status or date, and confirm the authenticated user’s account details for secure operations.

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the Cloudconvert authorization link not work?

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

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

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

The Cloudconvert connection can expire or lose permission.

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

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

Claude can manage the Cloudconvert connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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