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 Context.dev account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to extract pricing data from competitor pages, monitor brand mentions across target websites, scrape structured data from product pages, 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 Context.dev account

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

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "Extract pricing data from competitor pages"
  • "Monitor brand mentions across target websites"
  • "Scrape structured data from product pages"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

What is the Context.dev Claude Connector, and what's possible with it?

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

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the Context.dev authorization link not work?

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

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

4. Why do Context.dev actions fail after they worked before?

The Context.dev connection can expire or lose permission.

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

5. How do I switch to a different Context.dev account?

Claude can manage the Context.dev connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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