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 Perigon account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to get top technology news headlines today, summarize recent articles about climate change, find news on major stock market events, 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 Perigon account

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

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "Get top technology news headlines today"
  • "Summarize recent articles about climate change"
  • "Find news on major stock market events"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Perigon MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Perigon account. It provides structured and secure access to real-time news and web content data, so your agent can perform actions like searching news articles, aggregating trending stories, extracting web data, and analyzing news sentiment on your behalf.

  • Comprehensive news article search: Empower your agent to search and retrieve news articles from global sources using filters like date, topic, publisher, or region.
  • Real-time trending stories aggregation: Automatically gather and summarize the latest trending news across categories such as politics, technology, finance, and more.
  • Web content extraction: Let your agent pull structured data from online articles and websites, making it easy to analyze or repurpose content.
  • News sentiment and topic analysis: Enable your agent to analyze the sentiment and topical coverage of news stories to provide actionable insights or reports.
  • Customized news monitoring: Set up continuous monitoring for specific keywords, companies, or industries, so your agent can keep you updated with relevant news as it happens.

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the Perigon authorization link not work?

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

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

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

The Perigon connection can expire or lose permission.

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

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

Claude can manage the Perigon connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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