Api Key

Cloudlayer is a document and asset generation service for creating PDFs and images via API or SDKs. It lets you automate high-quality doc creation, saving dev time and reducing manual work.

16 Tools

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 Cloudlayer account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to generate PDF from a contract HTML template, convert a marketing webpage to a PNG image, list your most recent generated assets, 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 Cloudlayer to Claude Web, Desktop, and Cowork

Two ways to add the Composio connector. Pick whichever you prefer.

1. Add with one click

Click the button. Claude opens with the Composio connector filled in. Click Add, then go to step 2.

Add to Claude

Add manually

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

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

2. Authorize in your browser

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

3. Connect your Cloudlayer account

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

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "Generate PDF from a contract HTML template"
  • "Convert a marketing webpage to a PNG image"
  • "List your most recent generated assets"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Cloudlayer MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Cloudlayer account. It provides structured and secure access to dynamic document and asset generation, so your agent can perform actions like converting HTML or URLs to PDFs or images, managing assets, and configuring storage on your behalf.

  • Automated PDF and image generation: Instantly convert HTML content or public URLs into professional PDFs and images for reporting, documentation, or sharing.
  • Asset management and retrieval: Let your agent fetch metadata or download links for generated assets, or list your most recent document and image creations.
  • Dynamic storage configuration: Seamlessly add and manage external storage buckets or containers for organizing generated files and assets.
  • Real-time API health monitoring: Enable your agent to check Cloudlayer API status, ensuring your integrations are always up and running.
  • Flexible screenshot and rendering tasks: Capture dynamic webpage screenshots as images or PDFs, with full control over conversion parameters, for advanced automation workflows.

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the Cloudlayer authorization link not work?

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

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

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

The Cloudlayer connection can expire or lose permission.

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

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

Claude can manage the Cloudlayer connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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