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 Finmei account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to create an invoice for new client Acme Corp, list all unpaid invoices from last month, delete obsolete product from catalog, 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 Finmei account

For example, ask Claude to:

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Finmei MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Finmei account. It provides structured and secure access to your invoicing and expense data, so your agent can perform actions like creating invoices, managing customers, tracking payments, and handling products on your behalf.

  • Smart invoice creation and management: Ask your agent to generate new invoices, list all existing invoices, or delete outdated ones—helping you stay on top of billing effortlessly.
  • Customer record management: Let your agent list all your customers, search for specific records, or delete customers no longer in your system, streamlining client data administration.
  • Payment tracking and retrieval: Retrieve payment details, verify payment statuses, or remove obsolete payments to keep your financial records accurate and up to date.
  • Product catalog maintenance: Easily fetch detailed product information or remove products from your catalog as your offerings evolve, all via agent commands.
  • Multi-currency support: Ask your agent to list all available currencies before creating invoices, ensuring transactions are processed in the correct denomination for your business needs.

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the Finmei authorization link not work?

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

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

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

The Finmei connection can expire or lose permission.

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

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

Claude can manage the Finmei connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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