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 Finerworks account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to add five new artwork images to your library, list all available fine art paper types, submit a print order for three photos, 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 Finerworks account

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

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "Add five new artwork images to your library"
  • "List all available fine art paper types"
  • "Submit a print order for three photos"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Finerworks MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your FinerWorks account. It provides structured and secure access to your fine art and photo printing services, so your agent can perform actions like uploading artwork, managing orders, updating account info, and exploring product options on your behalf.

  • Artwork upload and management: Easily add new images to your FinerWorks library, complete with metadata and image URIs, so your inventory is always up to date.
  • Order submission and tracking: Ask your agent to submit batches of print orders or retrieve shipping options, streamlining your print fulfillment process.
  • Product and media exploration: Instantly list available product types, media types, and style options to help you select the perfect materials for your artwork.
  • Account and profile updates: Let your agent fetch or update your user profile, including business information, billing details, and payment profiles, as your needs change.
  • Credential verification and file selection: Test your credentials for peace of mind, or update which image files are selected for current projects—all without manual steps.

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the Finerworks authorization link not work?

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

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

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

The Finerworks connection can expire or lose permission.

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

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

Claude can manage the Finerworks connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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