## 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 LimaData account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to enrich Acme with firmographic company details, find decision makers at target companies, research SaaS companies in New York, 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.

## What is the LimaData MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The LimaData MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your LimaData account. It provides structured and secure access to B2B company and person enrichment, contact discovery, database search, audience identity, and web research, so your agent can enrich prospects, find professional contact details, research companies and people, extract information from web pages, and prepare audience identifiers on your behalf.
- Company and person enrichment: Have your agent enrich companies from their domains or LinkedIn pages, and enrich professionals using their email, profile URL, or name and company.
- Contact discovery: Direct your agent to find work emails, personal emails, phone numbers, and social profiles for known professionals.
- Database and employee search: Let the agent search LimaData's company and people database, count matching records, or find employees at selected companies by job title.
- Web research and page extraction: Instruct your agent to search the web, research a question with source-backed context, or extract clean content and metadata from up to 10 web pages.
- Audience matching and email verification: Have your agent create advertising audience identifiers, retrieve email hashes for audience matching, verify email deliverability, and check the connected credit balance.

## Troubleshooting

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

The connector can show as connected, but Claude must use it in each LimaData conversation.
- Click + at the lower left of the chat, or type /.
- Hover Connectors.
- Turn on Composio.
- Ask Claude to connect to LimaData again.

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

Claude can show Couldn't reach the MCP server or Authorization with the MCP server failed when you add the connector for LimaData.
- 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 LimaData.
- If it fails again, send the error and the ofid_ reference id to support@composio.dev.

### 3. Why does the LimaData authorization link not work?

The Composio connector is one server. Your LimaData account connects separately when Claude asks for it.
- If the browser does not open, or the link expires, ask Claude to retry the LimaData connection.
- Composio creates a fresh LimaData authorization link.
- Open that link in your browser and finish the LimaData sign-in.

### 4. Why do LimaData actions fail after they worked before?

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

### 5. How do I switch to a different LimaData account?

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

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

The connector belongs to your Claude account, so your LimaData connection works in Claude Web, Desktop, and Cowork.
- In Claude Desktop, open Customize > Connectors.
- Next to Composio, click ⋮ and click Clear cache.
- If LimaData 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 LimaData.

## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK

The LimaData MCP server connects Claude Web, Desktop, and Cowork to your LimaData account through Composio. Once connected, Claude can use the available LimaData tools and triggers to complete tasks on your behalf.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and LimaData MCP?

With a standalone LimaData MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of LimaData tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from LimaData and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

### Can I use Tool Router MCP with Claude Cowork?

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 LimaData tools.

### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for LimaData while using Tool Router?

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which LimaData 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.

### How safe is my data with Composio Tool Router?

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 LimaData data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
