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 Craftmypdf account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to list all available PDF templates, generate invoice PDF using latest template, create embeddable editor session for contract, 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 Craftmypdf 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.

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 Craftmypdf account

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

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "List all available PDF templates"
  • "Generate invoice PDF using latest template"
  • "Create embeddable editor session for contract"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Craftmypdf MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, and others directly to your Craftmypdf account. It provides structured and secure access to your PDF templates and document generation workflows, so your agent can create PDFs, manage templates, launch editor sessions, and automate document processes on your behalf.

  • Template management and discovery: Effortlessly retrieve and browse your available PDF templates so your agent can select the right one for each task.
  • Automated PDF generation: Queue up asynchronous PDF creation jobs using dynamic data, letting your agent generate custom documents on the fly and handle results via webhooks.
  • Embeddable editor session creation: Instantly generate secure, embeddable editor session URLs for specific templates, making it easy to edit or customize PDFs in real-time through an assistant.
  • Seamless integration into document workflows: Empower your agent to combine template selection and PDF generation for end-to-end automation of personalized document creation.

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the Craftmypdf authorization link not work?

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

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

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

The Craftmypdf connection can expire or lose permission.

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

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

Claude can manage the Craftmypdf connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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