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 Echtpost account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to show me all postcard templates available, list templates for confidential document delivery, get preview links for secure message templates, 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 Echtpost account

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

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "Show me all postcard templates available"
  • "List templates for confidential document delivery"
  • "Get preview links for secure message templates"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Echtpost MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Echtpost account. It provides structured and secure access to your Echtpost templates, so your agent can perform actions like listing available postcard templates, retrieving template details, and preparing for secure document creation on your behalf.

  • Comprehensive template retrieval: Instantly fetch all available postcard and document templates in your Echtpost account for quick reference and selection.
  • Detailed template information: Allow your agent to access template names, descriptions, preview links, types, and creation timestamps to help you make informed decisions before sending confidential documents.
  • Template ID lookup for card creation: Let your agent efficiently obtain the necessary template IDs required for creating and dispatching secure postcards or messages.
  • Preview and validation of design assets: Preview templates visually and validate their suitability—ensuring every document meets your standards before sending.

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the Echtpost authorization link not work?

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

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

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

The Echtpost connection can expire or lose permission.

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

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

Claude can manage the Echtpost connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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