Composio search is a unified web search toolkit spanning travel, e-commerce, news, financial markets, images, and more. It lets you and your apps tap into up-to-date web data from a single, easy-to-integrate service.

22 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 Composio search account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to find recent news about electric vehicles, search for top-rated hotels in Paris, get latest stock info for Apple, 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.

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

The Composio search MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to the entire Composio Search suite. It provides structured and secure access to powerful web, travel, shopping, news, academic, and financial search tools, so your agent can perform actions like searching the web, finding events, locating places, pulling news, and fetching academic research on your behalf.

  • Comprehensive web and news search: Instantly ask your agent to fetch up-to-date web pages, breaking news, or current events using Google, DuckDuckGo, or news-specific search APIs.
  • Travel and local discovery: Let your agent find nearby hotels, flights, events, or map locations using Google Maps and events search for seamless travel planning and local exploration.
  • E-commerce and product lookup: Have your agent search for products, deals, and reviews across major retailers like Amazon and Walmart to help you shop smarter and faster.
  • Financial and market data retrieval: Direct your agent to pull real-time stock information, financial news, and market trends with just a query—no manual research needed.
  • Academic and scholarly research: Empower your agent to find relevant academic papers, citations, and scholarly articles using Google Scholar and Exa Answer for research-heavy tasks.

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the Composio search authorization link not work?

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

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

4. Why do Composio search actions fail after they worked before?

The Composio search connection can expire or lose permission.

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

5. How do I switch to a different Composio search account?

Claude can manage the Composio search connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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