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 Jinko account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to find cheapest roundtrip flights to Tokyo, book a refundable hotel in Paris, add baggage and seat selection to booking, 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 Jinko account

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

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "Find cheapest roundtrip flights to Tokyo"
  • "Book a refundable hotel in Paris"
  • "Add baggage and seat selection to booking"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Jinko MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Jinko account. It provides structured and secure access to flight and hotel discovery, trip planning, travel extras, and hosted checkout, so your agent can search travel options, build trips, manage travelers, select ancillaries, and prepare checkout on your behalf.

  • Flight and destination discovery: Have your agent find destinations within your budget, compare fares across flexible dates, and search live flight offers for specific routes.
  • Hotel search and research: Let the agent search available hotels and room rates, then review property details, policies, facilities, images, and room information.
  • Trip creation and updates: Direct your agent to create a trip, review its current details, add or remove flight and hotel options, and keep the itinerary up to date.
  • Traveler details and ancillaries: Instruct your agent to update travelers and booking contacts, browse available baggage, seat, meal, and other extras, and change selected ancillaries.
  • Hosted travel checkout: Have your agent quote a complete trip and create a hosted checkout page where a traveler can review the itinerary and pay.

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the Jinko authorization link not work?

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

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

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

The Jinko connection can expire or lose permission.

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

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

Claude can manage the Jinko connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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