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 Parsehub account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to list all your web scraping projects, show recent data extraction runs, find projects scraping news websites, 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.

Click the button. Claude opens with the Composio connector filled in. Click Add, then go to step 2.

Add to Claude

Add manually

In Claude Desktop, click Customize in the left sidebar, then select Connectors and click the + icon at the top.

Click Add custom connector and paste in the Composio MCP server URL:

bash
https://connect.composio.dev/mcp
Add custom connector dialog with Composio MCP server URL

2. Authorize in your browser

Click Connect. You'll be redirected to a browser window where you can authorize Composio to continue.

3. Connect your Parsehub account

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

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "List all your web scraping projects"
  • "Show recent data extraction runs"
  • "Find projects scraping news websites"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Parsehub MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Parsehub account. It provides structured and secure access to your web scraping projects, so your agent can perform actions like listing projects, retrieving project details, and managing your web data extractions on your behalf.

  • Retrieve all web scraping projects: Instantly fetch a list of every Parsehub project tied to your account, making project management a breeze.
  • Monitor project activity: Let your agent surface essential details about your scraping jobs, so you always know what’s running or completed.
  • Organize large-scale data extractions: Keep tabs on multiple projects simultaneously and plan your data extraction workflows efficiently.
  • Enable seamless integration with other tools: Combine your scraping project info with other services or automate follow-up actions using your agent.

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the Parsehub authorization link not work?

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

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

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

The Parsehub connection can expire or lose permission.

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

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

Claude can manage the Parsehub connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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