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 Mapulus account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to show all maps I have access to, list recent locations added to your account, get details for map with ID 12345, 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 Mapulus account

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

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "Show all maps I have access to"
  • "List recent locations added to your account"
  • "Get details for map with ID 12345"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Mapulus MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Mapulus account. It provides structured and secure access to your interactive maps and location data, so your agent can perform actions like listing maps, retrieving map details, finding locations, and analyzing geographic data on your behalf.

  • Comprehensive map listing and discovery: Instruct your agent to list all accessible maps, making it easy to discover and organize your mapping projects.
  • Detailed map metadata retrieval: Ask your agent to fetch in-depth information about any map, including metadata and configuration details, for quick reference or analysis.
  • Location management and exploration: Let your agent enumerate all locations stored in your Mapulus account, supporting location-based workflows and automations.
  • Find locations by external identifiers: Use your agent to quickly match and retrieve location details using external IDs, streamlining integrations with other systems and datasets.

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the Mapulus authorization link not work?

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

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

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

The Mapulus connection can expire or lose permission.

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

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

Claude can manage the Mapulus connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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