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 Paperform account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to list all submissions for the feedback form, create a new Paperform for event signup, export all responses from last week's survey, 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 Paperform account

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

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "List all submissions for the feedback form"
  • "Create a new Paperform for event signup"
  • "Export all responses from last week's survey"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

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

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the Paperform authorization link not work?

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

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

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

The Paperform connection can expire or lose permission.

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

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

Claude can manage the Paperform connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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