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 Pdf4me account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to convert a Word file to PDF format, transform a JPEG image into a PDF document, batch convert multiple Excel sheets to PDF, 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 Pdf4me account

Back in Claude, ask it to connect to Pdf4me or give it any Pdf4me-related task.

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "Convert a Word file to PDF format"
  • "Transform a JPEG image into a PDF document"
  • "Batch convert multiple Excel sheets to PDF"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

That's it. Composio's tools are now available in Claude, and your Pdf4me account is ready to use.

What is the Pdf4me Claude Connector, and what's possible with it?

The Pdf4me MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Pdf4me account. It provides structured and secure access to document conversion, letting your agent automate tasks like transforming files, generating PDFs, and preparing documents for further processing—all without manual intervention.

  • Seamless document-to-PDF conversion: Instantly convert a wide variety of document and image formats to high-quality PDFs using natural language commands.
  • Batch processing automation: Let your agent handle multiple file conversions at once, streamlining workflows for reports, forms, and scanned images.
  • Workflow integration: Enable your agent to convert documents to PDF as part of larger automation chains, making it easy to prep files for storage, sharing, or e-signatures.
  • Base64 file transformation: Accept base64-encoded files from other sources and have your agent convert them to PDFs, ready for further use or archiving.

Troubleshooting

1. Why does Claude not use the Composio connector for Pdf4me?

The connector can show as connected, but Claude must use it in each Pdf4me conversation.

  • Click + at the lower left of the chat, or type /.
  • Hover Connectors.
  • Turn on Composio.
  • Ask Claude to connect to Pdf4me again.

2. Why does Claude show an MCP server error before Pdf4me connects?

Claude can show Couldn't reach the MCP server or Authorization with the MCP server failed when you add the connector for Pdf4me.

  • 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 Pdf4me.
  • If it fails again, send the error and the ofid_ reference id to support@composio.dev.

3. Why does the Pdf4me authorization link not work?

The Composio connector is one server. Your Pdf4me account connects separately when Claude asks for it.

  • If the browser does not open, or the link expires, ask Claude to retry the Pdf4me connection.
  • Composio creates a fresh Pdf4me authorization link.
  • Open that link in your browser and finish the Pdf4me sign-in.

4. Why do Pdf4me actions fail after they worked before?

The Pdf4me connection can expire or lose permission.

  • Ask Claude to inspect the Pdf4me connection.
  • If the connection is unhealthy, disconnect it when Claude prompts you.
  • Reconnect the Pdf4me account and retry the action.
  • If Claude shows a permission prompt, approve it before Claude changes data in Pdf4me.
  • If the action still fails with a permission error, check that the connected account has that permission in Pdf4me itself.

5. How do I switch to a different Pdf4me account?

Claude can manage the Pdf4me connection for you.

  • Ask Claude to disconnect or delete the current Pdf4me account.
  • Ask Claude to connect Pdf4me again.
  • Open the new Composio authorization link for Pdf4me.
  • Sign in with the other Pdf4me account in the browser.
  • After the account connects, ask Claude to retry the Pdf4me task.

6. Why is my Pdf4me connection missing in Claude Desktop or on a Team plan?

The connector belongs to your Claude account, so your Pdf4me connection works in Claude Web, Desktop, and Cowork.

  • In Claude Desktop, open Customize > Connectors.
  • Next to Composio, click ⋮ and click Clear cache.
  • If Pdf4me 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 Pdf4me.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

With a standalone Pdf4me MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Pdf4me tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Pdf4me 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 Pdf4me tools.

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Pdf4me 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 Pdf4me data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
