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 Dock certs account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to list all credentials issued this month, delete a credential by its ID, create a webhook for credential updates, 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 Dock certs account

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

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "List all credentials issued this month"
  • "Delete a credential by its ID"
  • "Create a webhook for credential updates"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Dock certs MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Dock certs account. It provides structured and secure access to your verifiable credentials and decentralized identity management, so your agent can perform actions like issuing credentials, managing API keys, retrieving credential details, and automating webhook notifications on your behalf.

  • Instant credential issuance and management: Easily have your agent issue new verifiable credentials, retrieve detailed credential metadata, or delete outdated credentials as needed.
  • Secure API key lifecycle management: Direct your agent to create, list, retrieve, or delete API keys, ensuring secure programmatic access for your organization.
  • Automated webhook setup and oversight: Let your agent create or delete webhook endpoints, so you can receive real-time event notifications from Dock certs to your own systems.
  • Credential retrieval and decryption: Ask your agent to fetch specific credentials by ID, with options for full retrieval if protected by a password, ensuring secure and flexible access.
  • Tag and metadata cleanup: Enable your agent to delete obsolete tags or credential metadata, keeping your Dock certs environment organized and up to date.

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the Dock certs authorization link not work?

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

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

4. Why do Dock certs actions fail after they worked before?

The Dock certs connection can expire or lose permission.

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

5. How do I switch to a different Dock certs account?

Claude can manage the Dock certs connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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