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 Happy scribe account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to transcribe this podcast episode to text, generate subtitles for uploaded video file, export subtitles in SRT format for review, 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 Happy scribe account

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

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "Transcribe this podcast episode to text"
  • "Generate subtitles for uploaded video file"
  • "Export subtitles in SRT format for review"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Happy Scribe MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Happy Scribe account. It provides structured and secure access to your transcription and subtitle services, so your agent can perform actions like starting new transcriptions, generating subtitles, exporting files, and managing your transcription jobs on your behalf.

  • Automated transcription creation: Instantly start new transcription jobs from audio or video files using a simple agent command.
  • Subtitle generation for videos: Have your agent generate accurate subtitles for your video content for accessibility and localization.
  • Export and download transcripts or subtitles: Let your agent export completed transcriptions or subtitles in various formats for easy distribution.
  • Account and usage monitoring: Retrieve account details, subscription status, and API usage statistics to keep tabs on your service limits.
  • Transcription management and cleanup: Direct your agent to delete completed or unwanted transcription jobs, keeping your workspace organized.

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the Happy scribe authorization link not work?

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

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

4. Why do Happy scribe actions fail after they worked before?

The Happy scribe connection can expire or lose permission.

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

5. How do I switch to a different Happy scribe account?

Claude can manage the Happy scribe connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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