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 Elorus account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to create a new invoice for Acme Corp, list all unpaid bills from last month, email latest invoice to a specific contact, 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 Elorus account

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

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "Create a new invoice for Acme Corp"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Elorus MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Elorus account. It provides structured and secure access to your invoicing, billing, and time-tracking tools, so your agent can perform actions like creating invoices, managing contacts, tracking estimates, and sending billing communications on your behalf.

  • Automated invoice creation and delivery: Instruct your agent to generate new invoices, fill in all necessary details, and instantly email them to clients or contacts with just a prompt.
  • Comprehensive contact management: Ask your agent to fetch, list, and organize your business contacts, so you can easily keep your client database up to date or find specific clients in seconds.
  • Dynamic bills and expenses tracking: Let your agent retrieve and manage lists of bills and expenses, helping you stay on top of accounts payable and overall financial health.
  • Flexible product and service catalog management: Direct your agent to create new products or services, update details, or fetch lists of items for invoicing and inventory purposes.
  • Estimates and credit notes retrieval: Have your agent pull up estimates or credit notes with filters for date, contact, or status—ideal for monitoring ongoing deals and financial adjustments.

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the Elorus authorization link not work?

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

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

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

The Elorus connection can expire or lose permission.

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

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

Claude can manage the Elorus connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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