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 Resource Planner account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to schedule John for project Alpha next week, list unassigned tasks for Q3 projects, approve timesheet entries for last week, 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. ## Also integrate Resource Planner with - [ChatGPT](https://composio.dev/toolkits/resource_planner/framework/chatgpt) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/resource_planner/framework/hermes-agent) ## Connect Resource Planner to Claude Cowork ### Connecting Resource Planner 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](https://claude.ai/customize/connectors?modal=add-custom-connector&connectorName=Composio&connectorUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fconnect.composio.dev%2Fmcp) ### 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 ``` ## What is the Resource Planner MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Resource Planner MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Resource Planner account. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Resource Planner operations on your behalf. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `RESOURCE_PLANNER_CREATE_ASSIGNMENT` | Create Assignment | Assign one resource to one project for a date range and return the created assignment ID. | | `RESOURCE_PLANNER_CREATE_PROJECT` | Create Project | Create a project with a title and optional note, color, and visibility, then return its project ID. | | `RESOURCE_PLANNER_CREATE_RESOURCE` | Create Resource | Create a workspace resource with optional capacity, workdays, note, and visibility, then return its resource ID. | | `RESOURCE_PLANNER_DELETE_ASSIGNMENT` | Delete Assignment | Permanently delete one assignment by its assignment ID. | | `RESOURCE_PLANNER_DELETE_ASSIGNMENTS` | Delete Assignments | Permanently delete 1-25 assignments sequentially. The operation is not atomic: each ID has its own outcome, successful deletions are not rolled back, and processing stops after an unsafe or ambiguous failure. | | `RESOURCE_PLANNER_DELETE_PROJECT` | Delete Project | Permanently delete a project and all of its assignments. This cascading deletion cannot be undone. | | `RESOURCE_PLANNER_DELETE_RESOURCE` | Delete Resource | Permanently delete a resource and all of its assignments. This cascading deletion cannot be undone. | | `RESOURCE_PLANNER_GET_PROJECT` | Get Project | Retrieve one current workspace project by its project ID. | | `RESOURCE_PLANNER_GET_RESOURCE` | Get Resource | Retrieve one current workspace resource by its resource ID. | | `RESOURCE_PLANNER_LIST_ASSIGNMENTS` | List Assignments | Return all assignments, optionally narrowed to a project, a resource, or both. | | `RESOURCE_PLANNER_LIST_PROJECTS` | List Projects | Return every project in the connected Resource Planner workspace, including project IDs and editable planning fields. | | `RESOURCE_PLANNER_LIST_RESOURCES` | List Resources | Return every resource in the connected Resource Planner workspace, including resource IDs needed for assignment workflows. | | `RESOURCE_PLANNER_LIST_TIME_ENTRIES` | List Time Entries | Return one page of workspace time entries, with an optional total-duration summary and a cursor for the next page. | | `RESOURCE_PLANNER_UPDATE_ASSIGNMENT` | Update Assignment | Replace an assignment's internal note and return all affected assignment IDs. | | `RESOURCE_PLANNER_UPDATE_PROJECT` | Update Project | Update at least one of a project's title, note, color, or visibility.

Why does Claude not use the Composio connector for Resource Planner? The connector can show as connected, but Claude must use it in each Resource Planner conversation. - Click + at the lower left of the chat, or type /. - Hover Connectors. - Turn on Composio. - Ask Claude to connect to Resource Planner again. ### 2. Why does Claude show an MCP server error before Resource Planner connects? Claude can show Couldn't reach the MCP server or Authorization with the MCP server failed when you add the connector for Resource Planner. - 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 Resource Planner. - If it fails again, send the error and the ofid_ reference id to support@composio.dev. ### 3. Why does the Resource Planner authorization link not work? The Composio connector is one server. Your Resource Planner account connects separately when Claude asks for it. - If the browser does not open, or the link expires, ask Claude to retry the Resource Planner connection. - Composio creates a fresh Resource Planner authorization link. - Open that link in your browser and finish the Resource Planner sign-in. ### 4. Why do Resource Planner actions fail after they worked before? The Resource Planner connection can expire or lose permission. - Ask Claude to inspect the Resource Planner connection. - If the connection is unhealthy, disconnect it when Claude prompts you. - Reconnect the Resource Planner account and retry the action. - If Claude shows a permission prompt, approve it before Claude changes data in Resource Planner. - If the action still fails with a permission error, check that the connected account has that permission in Resource Planner itself. ### 5. How do I switch to a different Resource Planner account? Claude can manage the Resource Planner connection for you. - Ask Claude to disconnect or delete the current Resource Planner account. - Ask Claude to connect Resource Planner again. - Open the new Composio authorization link for Resource Planner. - Sign in with the other Resource Planner account in the browser. - After the account connects, ask Claude to retry the Resource Planner task. ### 6. Why is my Resource Planner connection missing in Claude Desktop or on a Team plan? The connector belongs to your Claude account, so your Resource Planner connection works in Claude Web, Desktop, and Cowork. - In Claude Desktop, open Customize > Connectors. - Next to Composio, click ⋮ and click Clear cache. - If Resource Planner 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 Resource Planner. ## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK The Resource Planner MCP server connects Claude Web, Desktop, and Cowork to your Resource Planner account through Composio. Once connected, Claude can use the available Resource Planner tools and triggers to complete tasks on your behalf. ## Complete Code None listed. ## How to build Resource Planner MCP Agent with another framework - [ChatGPT](https://composio.dev/toolkits/resource_planner/framework/chatgpt) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/resource_planner/framework/hermes-agent) ## Related Toolkits - [Google Sheets](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googlesheets) - Google Sheets is a cloud-based spreadsheet tool for real-time collaboration and data analysis.

With a standalone Resource Planner MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Resource Planner tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Resource Planner and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint. ### Can I use Tool Router MCP with Claude Cowork? 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 Resource Planner tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Resource Planner while using Tool Router? Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Resource Planner 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. ### How safe is my data with Composio Tool Router? 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 Resource Planner data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
