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 Pilvio account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to start a new virtual machine with Ubuntu, list all active virtual machines in your account, resize an existing VM to a larger instance, 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.

Connecting Pilvio to Claude Web, Desktop, and Cowork

Two ways to add the Composio connector. Pick whichever you prefer.

1. Add with one click

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 Pilvio account

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

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "Start a new virtual machine with Ubuntu"
  • "List all active virtual machines in your account"
  • "Resize an existing VM to a larger instance"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Pilvio MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Pilvio account. It provides structured and secure access to your cloud resources, so your agent can perform actions like provisioning virtual machines, managing object storage, automating infrastructure, and monitoring your resources on your behalf.

  • Dynamic virtual machine management: Instantly create, start, stop, or delete virtual machines so your cloud infrastructure adapts to your needs on demand.
  • Automated object storage operations: Let your agent upload, download, list, or delete files and buckets for seamless data management in your object storage.
  • Infrastructure status monitoring: Query resource states and usage metrics so your agent keeps you informed about cloud health and performance.
  • Resource provisioning and automation: Enable your agent to quickly provision new resources, allocate storage, or adjust configurations—without manual intervention.
  • Security and access control: Manage API keys, permissions, and access policies to keep your cloud environment secure and compliant.

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the Pilvio authorization link not work?

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

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

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

The Pilvio connection can expire or lose permission.

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

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

Claude can manage the Pilvio connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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