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 Docsautomator account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to generate an invoice from the 'Invoice' template, create onboarding document for new employee, list all Docsautomator templates available to me, 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 Docsautomator account

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "Generate an invoice from the 'Invoice' template"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

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

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the Docsautomator authorization link not work?

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

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

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

The Docsautomator connection can expire or lose permission.

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

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

Claude can manage the Docsautomator connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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