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 Replicate account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to run Stable Diffusion to generate an image, list all your uploaded files on Replicate, get README documentation for a model, 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 Replicate 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 Replicate account

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

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "Run Stable Diffusion to generate an image"
  • "List all your uploaded files on Replicate"
  • "Get README documentation for a model"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Replicate MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Replicate account. It provides structured and secure access to your Replicate resources, so your agent can perform actions like running AI model predictions, managing files, browsing model collections, and retrieving model documentation on your behalf.

  • Run and manage AI model predictions: Easily instruct your agent to create, monitor, and manage predictions on any deployed Replicate model using custom input parameters.
  • Browse and discover model collections: Ask your agent to fetch and list available model collections or retrieve example predictions to explore what’s possible on Replicate.
  • Upload and organize files: Let your agent upload new files, list all stored files, or inspect file details to streamline your model workflows.
  • Access model metadata and documentation: Retrieve full model details, schemas, and markdown README docs for any model to help you choose and utilize the right model for your tasks.

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the Replicate authorization link not work?

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

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

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

The Replicate connection can expire or lose permission.

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

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

Claude can manage the Replicate connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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