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 Phantombuster account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to download agent usage CSV for last month, list all active agents in your account, get the country for this IP address, 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 Phantombuster account

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

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "Download agent usage CSV for last month"
  • "List all active agents in your account"
  • "Get the country for this IP address"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Phantombuster MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Phantombuster account. It provides structured and secure access to your web automation and data extraction tools, so your agent can perform actions like running agents, fetching reports, exporting usage data, and managing your automations on your behalf.

  • Agent management and monitoring: Instantly list, audit, or fetch details about all your Phantombuster agents and see which are active, deleted, or grouped together.
  • Data extraction and export: Have your agent export detailed usage reports or download CSVs of agent and container activity for analytics and compliance.
  • Automation workflow insight: Get visibility into branches, containers, and deployment differences—helping you track automation changes and resource usage.
  • Organization and account overview: Let your agent retrieve comprehensive organization information or check current API key associations for security and collaboration.
  • IP geolocation support: Enable your agent to look up the physical location of specific IP addresses for auditing or compliance checks.

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the Phantombuster authorization link not work?

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

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

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

The Phantombuster connection can expire or lose permission.

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

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

Claude can manage the Phantombuster connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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