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 Monday account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to list overdue items across project boards, create sprint tasks for engineering team, summarize updates on launch board, 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 Monday account

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

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "List overdue items across project boards"
  • "Create sprint tasks for engineering team"
  • "Summarize updates on launch board"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Monday MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Monday account. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Monday operations on your behalf.

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the Monday authorization link not work?

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

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

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

The Monday connection can expire or lose permission.

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

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

Claude can manage the Monday connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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