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 Gladia account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to transcribe this recorded meeting audio file, start real-time transcription from your microphone, list all recent transcription jobs with status, 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.

Connecting Gladia to Claude Web, Desktop, and Cowork

Two ways to add the Composio connector. Pick whichever you prefer.

1. Add with one click

Click the button. Claude opens with the Composio connector filled in. Click Add, then go to step 2.

Add to Claude

Add manually

In Claude Desktop, click Customize in the left sidebar, then select Connectors and click the + icon at the top.

2. Authorize in your browser

Click Connect. You'll be redirected to a browser window where you can authorize Composio to continue.

3. Connect your Gladia account

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

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "Transcribe this recorded meeting audio file"
  • "Start real-time transcription from your microphone"
  • "List all recent transcription jobs with status"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Gladia MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Gladia account. It provides structured and secure access to advanced audio transcription and intelligence services, so your agent can perform actions like uploading audio, transcribing recordings, retrieving live transcription results, and organizing jobs on your behalf.

  • Real-time and asynchronous transcription: Instantly start live or pre-recorded transcription jobs for audio and video files, letting your agent process spoken content with ease.
  • Audio and video file uploads: Seamlessly upload audio or video files to Gladia's servers as a first step before transcription or analysis.
  • Fetch detailed transcription results: Retrieve comprehensive results and metadata from both live and pre-recorded transcription sessions, including job status and transcribed text.
  • Job management and status tracking: List, filter, and monitor all your live and pre-recorded transcription jobs so your agent can keep tabs on ongoing or completed work.
  • Effortless workflow automation: Combine audio file handling, job initiation, and result retrieval into streamlined, agent-driven automations—saving you time and manual effort.

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the Gladia authorization link not work?

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

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

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

The Gladia connection can expire or lose permission.

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

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

Claude can manage the Gladia connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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