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 Cody account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to summarize key findings from Q2 reports, find policy details on employee benefits, draft onboarding checklist for new hires, 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 Cody account

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

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "Summarize key findings from Q2 reports"
  • "Find policy details on employee benefits"
  • "Draft onboarding checklist for new hires"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

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

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the Cody authorization link not work?

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

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

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

The Cody connection can expire or lose permission.

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

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

Claude can manage the Cody connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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