TemplateFox is a template-driven service for generating PDFs and images from reusable templates. It helps teams automate templated documents, manage versions, and store outputs reliably.

24 Tools

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 TemplateFox account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to generate invoice PDF from sales template, create image from marketing template with variables, version and upload template to S3, 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 TemplateFox account

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

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "Generate invoice PDF from sales template"
  • "Create image from marketing template with variables"
  • "Version and upload template to S3"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

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

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the TemplateFox authorization link not work?

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

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

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

The TemplateFox connection can expire or lose permission.

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

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

Claude can manage the TemplateFox connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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