CrewAI is a platform for running deployed automations and managing AMP control-plane resources. Use it to automate workflows and centrally control SaaS automation resources.

8 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 CrewAI account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to trigger nightly billing data-sync automation, list all deployed CrewAI automations, fetch latest run logs for automation, 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 CrewAI account

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

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "Trigger nightly billing data-sync automation"
  • "List all deployed CrewAI automations"
  • "Fetch latest run logs for automation"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

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

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the CrewAI authorization link not work?

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

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

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

The CrewAI connection can expire or lose permission.

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

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

Claude can manage the CrewAI connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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