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 Signwell account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to send NDA document for signature to client, list all pending documents awaiting signatures, delete a document that was sent by mistake, 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 Signwell account

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

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "Send NDA document for signature to client"
  • "List all pending documents awaiting signatures"
  • "Delete a document that was sent by mistake"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Signwell MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Signwell account. It provides structured and secure access to your document signing workflow, so your agent can perform actions like sending signature requests, managing documents, handling webhooks, and retrieving account info on your behalf.

  • Automated document creation and sending: Have your agent generate new documents and instantly send them out for e-signature—no manual uploads or email juggling required.
  • Real-time document status retrieval: Let your agent fetch the latest status and details of any document, so you always know who has signed and what’s still pending.
  • Bulk send management: Effortlessly list and track large batches of signature requests, helping you stay organized when sending documents to multiple recipients.
  • Webhook automation and monitoring: Register or remove webhooks so your agent can monitor document events and respond instantly to completed, signed, or cancelled documents.
  • Credential and account validation: Quickly check and verify your Signwell account details and API credentials directly through your agent.

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the Signwell authorization link not work?

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

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

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

The Signwell connection can expire or lose permission.

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

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

Claude can manage the Signwell connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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