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 Radar account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to autocomplete address based on partial input, get users currently inside geofence, convert address to latitude and longitude, 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 Radar 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 Radar account

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

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "Autocomplete address based on partial input"
  • "Get users currently inside geofence"
  • "Convert address to latitude and longitude"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Radar MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Radar account. It provides structured and secure access to advanced location services, so your agent can perform actions like geocoding addresses, managing geofences, tracking trips, searching places, and retrieving location context on your behalf.

  • Address and place autocomplete: Instantly get relevant address or place suggestions based on partial user input, improving data quality and user experience.
  • Precise geocoding and location context: Convert full addresses to latitude/longitude and fetch rich context—including region, geofence, and place details—for any set of coordinates.
  • Geofence management: Retrieve, create, or delete geofences to define dynamic boundaries and monitor activity within specific areas automatically.
  • Trip creation and tracking: Start, fetch, or delete trips to enable real-time location tracking and trip management for devices or users.
  • Live user monitoring in geofences: Effortlessly list all users currently inside a defined geofence, supporting presence-based automation and analytics.

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the Radar authorization link not work?

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

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

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

The Radar connection can expire or lose permission.

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

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

Claude can manage the Radar connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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