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 Roam account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to summarize unread Roam team messages, send secure file to compliance channel, find recent chats about incident response, 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 Roam account

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

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "Summarize unread Roam team messages"
  • "Send secure file to compliance channel"
  • "Find recent chats about incident response"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Roam MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Roam account. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Roam operations on your behalf.

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the Roam authorization link not work?

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

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

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

The Roam connection can expire or lose permission.

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

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

Claude can manage the Roam connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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