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 Documint account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to list all templates in your account, get details for template by ID, delete an outdated template permanently, and more such actions on your behalf without compromising your account security.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 Documint account

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

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "List all templates in your account"
  • "Get details for template by ID"
  • "Delete an outdated template permanently"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Documint MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Documint account. It provides structured and secure access to your Documint templates and documents, so your agent can list templates, fetch document details, update or delete templates, and manage your document workflows automatically.

  • Template management and review: Quickly list all available templates or fetch details for a specific template to streamline document creation and organization.
  • Automated template updates: Direct your agent to modify existing templates by updating settings or layouts, ensuring your documents always match your latest standards.
  • Document listing and retrieval: Effortlessly list all documents in your account, making it easy to review, audit, or analyze your document library.
  • Template cleanup and deletion: Have your agent permanently delete outdated or unused templates, keeping your workspace clutter-free and organized.

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the Documint authorization link not work?

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

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

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

The Documint connection can expire or lose permission.

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

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

Claude can manage the Documint connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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