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 Mural account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to add sticky notes summarizing team feedback, list all image files on project mural, show all widgets in today's brainstorming 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 Mural account

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

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "Add sticky notes summarizing team feedback"
  • "List all image files on project mural"
  • "Show all widgets in today's brainstorming board"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Mural MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Mural account. It provides structured and secure access to your digital whiteboards, so your agent can perform actions like creating sticky notes, retrieving board widgets, managing files, and accessing user info on your behalf.

  • Automated sticky note creation: Instantly add one or more sticky notes to any mural for fast brainstorming, idea capture, or task tracking via your agent.
  • Widget and content retrieval: Have your agent fetch all widgets within a specific mural, making it easy to analyze, summarize, or organize the board's contents programmatically.
  • File management on murals: Let your agent list all file attachments within a mural, so you can monitor, catalog, or process embedded documents and images effortlessly.
  • User information access: Retrieve details about the current authenticated user, enabling personalized actions and tailored workflows across your Mural workspace.
  • Seamless OAuth authorization: Easily initiate secure, managed authentication flows so your agent can access and act on your behalf without manual credential handling.

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the Mural authorization link not work?

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

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

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

The Mural connection can expire or lose permission.

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

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

Claude can manage the Mural connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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