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 Loomio account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to list all your active Loomio groups, show details for group 'Marketing Team', list recent polls in the Design group, 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 Loomio account

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

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "List all your active Loomio groups"
  • "Show details for group 'Marketing Team'"
  • "List recent polls in the Design group"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Loomio MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Loomio account. It provides structured and secure access to your Loomio workspace, so your agent can list groups, view detailed group or poll info, and help you navigate collaborative decision-making processes with ease.

  • Group discovery and listing: Effortlessly ask your agent to fetch and paginate all Loomio groups you have access to, making it easy to keep track of your teams and projects.
  • Poll management and tracking: Let your agent retrieve a list of all available polls, so you never miss important decisions or updates within your groups.
  • Detailed group insights: Direct your agent to pull in-depth information about any specific group, including membership and metadata, to help you stay informed and engaged.
  • Poll detail retrieval: Instruct your agent to fetch comprehensive details about any specific poll for status checks, results review, or historical context.

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the Loomio authorization link not work?

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

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

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

The Loomio connection can expire or lose permission.

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

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

Claude can manage the Loomio connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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