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

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

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the Serphouse authorization link not work?

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

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

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

The Serphouse connection can expire or lose permission.

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

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

Claude can manage the Serphouse connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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