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 Procfu account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to find new entries in updated Google Sheet, delete a specific file from Google Drive, generate random test users for QA, 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 Procfu account

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

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "Find new entries in updated Google Sheet"
  • "Delete a specific file from Google Drive"
  • "Generate random test users for QA"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Procfu MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Procfu account. It provides structured and secure access to advanced Podio automations, letting your agent compare arrays, generate test data, interact with Google Drive and Sheets, and even harness OpenAI for creative tasks—all on your behalf.

  • Automated data comparison and manipulation: Have your agent find differences, additions, deletions, or intersections between two JSON arrays to quickly analyze data changes or synchronize lists.
  • Google Drive file management: Direct your agent to delete files or folders from your Google Drive, streamlining cleanup and organization without manual effort.
  • Dynamic test data and placeholder generation: Instantly generate dummy emails, numbers, images, or addresses for testing, prototyping, or populating demo environments.
  • Retrieve Google Sheets data: Ask your agent to pull contents from a specific Google Sheet as an array, making it easy to process, analyze, or migrate spreadsheet data.
  • Conversational AI and image generation: Let your agent query OpenAI GPT for answers or generate new images from text prompts, extending automation into creative and cognitive tasks.

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the Procfu authorization link not work?

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

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

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

The Procfu connection can expire or lose permission.

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

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

Claude can manage the Procfu connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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