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 Optimoroute account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to list all active drivers on duty today, show planned delivery routes for tomorrow, find unassigned orders for this week, 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 Optimoroute account

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

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "List all active drivers on duty today"
  • "Show planned delivery routes for tomorrow"
  • "Find unassigned orders for this week"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Optimoroute MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Optimoroute account. It provides structured and secure access to your logistics and planning data, so your agent can perform actions like retrieving driver details, viewing planned delivery routes, checking route assignments, and monitoring driver status on your behalf.

  • Live driver roster and status retrieval: Instantly fetch up-to-date information about all drivers, including their current availability and contact details.
  • Planned route overview for any date: Have your agent pull a detailed list of all planned routes for a specific date, including stop information and route parameters.
  • Monitor unassigned orders and route gaps: Easily identify orders that haven’t been assigned to a route, helping you spot scheduling bottlenecks.
  • Centralized route and driver reporting: Aggregate route and driver data to power dashboards or daily logistics summaries, all via your AI agent.

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the Optimoroute authorization link not work?

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

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

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

The Optimoroute connection can expire or lose permission.

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

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

Claude can manage the Optimoroute connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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