How to connect Files com to Claude

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 Files com account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to list all folders under your Documents directory, show current permissions for a specific file, delete a share link to revoke access, 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.

The Files.com MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Files.com account. It provides structured and secure access to your cloud storage and file management resources, so your agent can perform actions like listing folders, managing permissions, generating upload keys, and handling file shares on your behalf.

• Folder navigation and organization: Ask your agent to list and explore folders within your Files.com account, making it easy to locate and organize files.
• Permission management: Allow the agent to retrieve, review, and delete access permissions for files or folders, keeping your data secure and access controlled.
• Secure file uploading: Have your agent generate S3 upload keys so you can temporarily host files for easy import, sharing, or collaboration across teams.
• Group and share link management: Let your agent list user groups or delete share links to efficiently manage who has access to important documents and shared resources.
• API key lifecycle control: Instruct your agent to revoke API keys when needed, ensuring only authorized integrations remain active for your account.
