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 SoundCloud account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to upload a new private demo track, list your latest liked SoundCloud tracks, create playlist from recent uploads, 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 SoundCloud account

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

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "Upload a new private demo track"
  • "List your latest liked SoundCloud tracks"
  • "Create playlist from recent uploads"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

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

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the SoundCloud authorization link not work?

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

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

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

The SoundCloud connection can expire or lose permission.

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

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

Claude can manage the SoundCloud connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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