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 Spotlightr account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to show me your top 5 most viewed videos, get viewer engagement stats for video ID 1234, list videos with highest watch time this week, 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 Spotlightr account

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

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "Show me your top 5 most viewed videos"
  • "Get viewer engagement stats for video ID 1234"
  • "List videos with highest watch time this week"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Spotlightr MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Spotlightr account. It provides structured and secure access to your video content and analytics, so your agent can perform actions like retrieving top-performing videos, accessing detailed video metrics, and surfacing engagement insights automatically on your behalf.

  • Top video discovery and listing: Instantly ask your agent to fetch and list your most viewed or highest performing Spotlightr videos.
  • Video analytics and metrics retrieval: Have your agent pull comprehensive analytics for a specific video, including views, engagement rates, unique viewers, and total watch time.
  • Engagement insight extraction: Let the agent surface actionable insights about viewer engagement for any video, making it easy to spot trends and opportunities.
  • Automated reporting support: Your agent can collect and summarize video performance data, making regular reporting and decision-making faster and more data-driven.

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the Spotlightr authorization link not work?

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

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

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

The Spotlightr connection can expire or lose permission.

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

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

Claude can manage the Spotlightr connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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