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 Here account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to find coffee shops near Central Park, get driving route for delivery truck, convert address to latitude and longitude, 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 Here 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.

Claude Desktop connectors screen with Add custom connector selected

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 Here account

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

For example, ask Claude to:

"Find coffee shops near Central Park"
"Get driving route for delivery truck"
"Convert address to latitude and longitude"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Here MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Here account. It provides structured and secure access to powerful location, mapping, and geocoding services, so your agent can perform actions like searching places, calculating routes, fetching map imagery, and converting addresses or coordinates on your behalf.

Smart place discovery and suggestions: Ask your agent to find points of interest, get autosuggested places based on partial queries, or discover addresses near a location.
Geocoding and reverse geocoding: Convert addresses to geographic coordinates or vice versa, enabling seamless location lookup and mapping in your workflows.
Map tile and imagery retrieval: Direct your agent to fetch satellite, base, or hybrid map tiles for specific locations, zoom levels, and formats for rich visual context.
Advanced routing and fleet planning: Have your agent calculate optimized routes with vehicle profiles, constraints, and even isolines for reachable areas based on time or distance.
Nearby search and contextual browsing: Let your agent browse or search for places around a given location, filtered by categories or names, to surface relevant local information.

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the Here authorization link not work?

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

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

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

The Here connection can expire or lose permission.

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

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

Claude can manage the Here connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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