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 Pivot account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to create a Pivot room for launch planning, list messages in the product room, track quarterly goals across Pivot spaces, 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 Pivot account

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

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "Create a Pivot room for launch planning"
  • "List messages in the product room"
  • "Track quarterly goals across Pivot spaces"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Pivot MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Pivot account. It provides structured and secure access to organizations, spaces, rooms, members, groups, messages, labels, and shared work, so your agent can create collaboration spaces, manage access, retrieve team information, and work with shared content on your behalf.

  • Space and room management: Have your agent create, copy, retrieve, hide, or delete Pivot spaces, and create or look up rooms for chats, posts, calls, and streams.
  • Team access and invitations: Let the agent invite people to spaces or rooms, add existing users to groups and rooms, manage space membership, and review organization users and group members.
  • Shared work and responses: Direct your agent to create, list, update attachments for, and delete responses connected to shared Pivot blocks.
  • Labels and organization: Instruct your agent to create, list, add, or delete labels so teams can organize their Pivot spaces.
  • Collaboration details and cleanup: Have your agent retrieve room messages, recordings, spaces, blocks, and user context, or remove messages, spaces, users, and webhooks when needed.

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the Pivot authorization link not work?

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

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

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

The Pivot connection can expire or lose permission.

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

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

Claude can manage the Pivot connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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