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 Parma account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to show your Parma CRM user profile details, list all dataset IDs in Parma CKAN, fetch full metadata for all Parma datasets, 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 Parma account

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

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "Show your Parma CRM user profile details"
  • "List all dataset IDs in Parma CKAN"
  • "Fetch full metadata for all Parma datasets"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Parma MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, and more directly to your Parma CRM account. It provides structured and secure access to your CRM data, so your agent can retrieve user profiles, access dataset catalogs, and manage critical business information on your behalf.

  • Comprehensive dataset catalog access: Instantly retrieve dcat-us 1.1 compliant metadata for all datasets in your Parma open data portal, making it easy to audit or analyze your entire data catalog.
  • Personalized user profile retrieval: Ask your agent to fetch the authenticated user's profile details, helping you quickly access account info or tailor interactions for specific users.
  • Efficient dataset identification: Let your agent list all dataset identifiers from Parma's CKAN instance, streamlining workflows that depend on knowing what's available in your data ecosystem.
  • Data-driven relationship management: Empower your agent to surface, summarize, or cross-reference CRM datasets, deepening insights into your business relationships and opportunities.

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the Parma authorization link not work?

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

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

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

The Parma connection can expire or lose permission.

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

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

Claude can manage the Parma connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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