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 Slite account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to search all notes about onboarding process, create a new note in project channel, summarize recent updates from team docs, 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 Slite account

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

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "Search all notes about onboarding process"
  • "Create a new note in project channel"
  • "Summarize recent updates from team docs"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

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

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the Slite authorization link not work?

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

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

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

The Slite connection can expire or lose permission.

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

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

Claude can manage the Slite connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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