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 Globalping account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to ping google.com from Paris and Tokyo, run traceroute to your server from Brazil, list all active probes in India, 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 Globalping 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.

Click Add custom connector and paste in the Composio MCP server URL:

bash
https://connect.composio.dev/mcp
Add custom connector dialog with Composio MCP server URL

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 Globalping account

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

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "Ping google.com from Paris and Tokyo"
  • "Run traceroute to your server from Brazil"
  • "List all active probes in India"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Globalping MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Globalping account. It provides structured and secure access to global network testing infrastructure, so your agent can perform actions like launching pings, running traceroutes, resolving DNS, and monitoring network health from locations worldwide.

  • On-demand network measurements: Have your agent initiate pings, traceroutes, or DNS lookups from specific global probes to test connectivity or diagnose issues.
  • Fetch real-time test results: Retrieve detailed per-probe measurement results, including latency, hops, and DNS answers, for network troubleshooting and analysis.
  • Probe discovery and selection: List and filter all available online probes by location or network, enabling targeted testing from anywhere in the world.
  • Automated health checks: Validate Globalping API health and availability to ensure reliable automation before running critical network tests.

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the Globalping authorization link not work?

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

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

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

The Globalping connection can expire or lose permission.

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

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

Claude can manage the Globalping connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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