## 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 Tripo3D account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to generate realistic 3D character with textures, optimize mesh and reduce polygon count, create walk animation and export FBX, 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.

## What is the Tripo3D MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Tripo3D MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Tripo3D account. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Tripo3D operations on your behalf.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `TRIPO3D_CHECK_MODEL_RIGGABILITY` | Check Model Riggability | Submit an asynchronous check that determines whether a GLB model can be rigged and recommends a rig type. Returns a bare UUID task ID; query it with GET_TASK or GET_TASKS. The live-tested check consumed no credits. |
| `TRIPO3D_COMPLETE_MESH` | Complete Mesh | Submit a credit-consuming asynchronous task to complete selected segmented parts or cap open boundaries. Requires a successful segmentation bare task UUID and returns a new bare task UUID for GET_TASK or GET_TASKS. |
| `TRIPO3D_CONVERT_MODEL` | Convert Model | Submit a credit-consuming asynchronous task to convert a model format and optionally alter topology, textures, orientation, scale, or animation export. Returns a bare UUID task ID. |
| `TRIPO3D_CREATE_PRESIGNED_UPLOAD` | Create Presigned Upload | Reserve a presigned URL and file token for a client-managed upload. This action only reserves the upload and does not upload bytes. A separate raw PUT to presigned_url is required without Tripo Authorization or any connected-account credentials; the file token is usable only after that PUT completes successfully. |
| `TRIPO3D_DECIMATE_MESH` | Decimate Mesh | Submit a credit-consuming asynchronous task to reduce a model's polygon count using basic decimation or smart retopology. Returns a bare UUID task ID. |
| `TRIPO3D_EDIT_IMAGE` | Edit Image | Submit a credit-consuming asynchronous task to edit one or more reference images. Returns a bare UUID task ID; completed generated image URLs are temporary. |
| `TRIPO3D_EDIT_MULTIVIEW` | Edit Multiview | Submit a credit-consuming asynchronous task to apply view-specific text edits to a multiview set. Returns a bare UUID task ID; completed view URLs are temporary. |
| `TRIPO3D_GENERATE_IMAGE_FROM_TEXT` | Generate Image from Text | Submit a credit-consuming asynchronous image-generation task from a text prompt. Returns a bare UUID task ID; use GET_TASK or GET_TASKS to retrieve the result, and download the temporary generated_image_url promptly. |
| `TRIPO3D_GENERATE_MODEL_FROM_IMAGE` | Generate Model from Image | Submit a credit-consuming asynchronous task to generate a 3D model from one image, file token, or successful image-task UUID. Returns a bare UUID task ID for GET_TASK or GET_TASKS. |
| `TRIPO3D_GENERATE_MODEL_FROM_MULTIVIEW` | Generate Model from Multiview | Submit a credit-consuming asynchronous task to generate a 3D model from multiple views or one multiview task UUID. Returns a bare UUID task ID for later status queries. |
| `TRIPO3D_GENERATE_MODEL_FROM_TEXT` | Generate Model from Text | Submit a credit-consuming asynchronous task to generate a 3D model from text. Returns a bare UUID task ID immediately; query it with GET_TASK or GET_TASKS and download completed output URLs promptly. |
| `TRIPO3D_GENERATE_MULTIVIEW_FROM_IMAGE` | Generate Multiview from Image | Submit a credit-consuming asynchronous task to generate front, left, back, and right views from one image. Returns a bare UUID task ID; use GET_TASK or GET_TASKS to retrieve the result, and download the four temporary view URLs promptly. |
| `TRIPO3D_GENERATE_SPLAT_FROM_IMAGE` | Generate Splat from Image | Submit a credit-consuming asynchronous task to generate a Gaussian Splat scene from one image. Returns a bare UUID task ID; use GET_TASK or GET_TASKS to retrieve the result, and download the temporary .splat model URL promptly. |
| `TRIPO3D_GET_BALANCE` | Get Balance | Get the authenticated account's available and frozen Tripo credit balances. |
| `TRIPO3D_GET_TASK` | Get Task | Get status, progress, errors, credits, timestamps, and type-specific output for one asynchronous task. Use a bare UUID without a task_ prefix. Download successful output URLs promptly because they are temporary. |
| `TRIPO3D_GET_TASKS` | Get Tasks | Get snapshots for up to 100 asynchronous task UUIDs in one request. Inspect missed even on success because it lists unknown IDs. Prefer this tool when polling parallel jobs every 1-2 seconds, and download successful output URLs promptly because they are temporary. |
| `TRIPO3D_IMPORT_MODEL` | Import Model | Submit an asynchronous task to import an external model into Tripo for later processing. Returns a bare UUID task ID; the live-tested import consumed no credits but pricing is not guaranteed. |
| `TRIPO3D_LIST_USAGE` | List Usage | Return one newest-first page of per-task credit usage and an opaque continuation cursor. Pass next_cursor unchanged to retrieve the next offset page; the API provides no total count. |
| `TRIPO3D_RETARGET_ANIMATION` | Retarget Animation | Submit a credit-consuming asynchronous task to apply one or up to five preset animations to a rigged model. Returns a bare UUID task ID; query it with GET_TASK or GET_TASKS and download completed model URLs promptly. |
| `TRIPO3D_RIG_MODEL` | Rig Model | Submit a credit-consuming asynchronous task to attach a biped or creature skeleton to a model. Run CHECK_MODEL_RIGGABILITY first and use its recommended rig type. Returns a bare UUID task ID for GET_TASK or GET_TASKS. |
| `TRIPO3D_SEGMENT_MESH` | Segment Mesh | Submit a credit-consuming asynchronous task to split a model into geometry-based or semantically labeled parts. Returns a bare UUID task ID used by COMPLETE_MESH or task-status tools. |
| `TRIPO3D_TEXTURE_MODEL` | Texture Model | Submit a credit-consuming asynchronous task to apply or regenerate textures on an existing model. Returns a bare UUID task ID; completed model and preview URLs are temporary. |
| `TRIPO3D_UPLOAD_FILE` | Upload File | Upload one image or model to Tripo3D and return a reusable file token for generation or processing tools. Supported direct-upload formats are JPEG/JPG/PNG images and GLB/GLTF/FBX/OBJ/STL models. This action supports local files up to 20 MiB; larger local files are unsupported. Provider operations may still accept supported public URLs where their input schema permits. |

## Troubleshooting

### 1. Why does Claude not use the Composio connector for Tripo3D?

The connector can show as connected, but Claude must use it in each Tripo3D conversation.
- Click + at the lower left of the chat, or type /.
- Hover Connectors.
- Turn on Composio.
- Ask Claude to connect to Tripo3D again.

### 2. Why does Claude show an MCP server error before Tripo3D connects?

Claude can show Couldn't reach the MCP server or Authorization with the MCP server failed when you add the connector for Tripo3D.
- 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 Tripo3D.
- If it fails again, send the error and the ofid_ reference id to support@composio.dev.

### 3. Why does the Tripo3D authorization link not work?

The Composio connector is one server. Your Tripo3D account connects separately when Claude asks for it.
- If the browser does not open, or the link expires, ask Claude to retry the Tripo3D connection.
- Composio creates a fresh Tripo3D authorization link.
- Open that link in your browser and finish the Tripo3D sign-in.

### 4. Why do Tripo3D actions fail after they worked before?

The Tripo3D connection can expire or lose permission.
- Ask Claude to inspect the Tripo3D connection.
- If the connection is unhealthy, disconnect it when Claude prompts you.
- Reconnect the Tripo3D account and retry the action.
- If Claude shows a permission prompt, approve it before Claude changes data in Tripo3D.
- If the action still fails with a permission error, check that the connected account has that permission in Tripo3D itself.

### 5. How do I switch to a different Tripo3D account?

Claude can manage the Tripo3D connection for you.
- Ask Claude to disconnect or delete the current Tripo3D account.
- Ask Claude to connect Tripo3D again.
- Open the new Composio authorization link for Tripo3D.
- Sign in with the other Tripo3D account in the browser.
- After the account connects, ask Claude to retry the Tripo3D task.

### 6. Why is my Tripo3D connection missing in Claude Desktop or on a Team plan?

The connector belongs to your Claude account, so your Tripo3D connection works in Claude Web, Desktop, and Cowork.
- In Claude Desktop, open Customize > Connectors.
- Next to Composio, click ⋮ and click Clear cache.
- If Tripo3D 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 Tripo3D.

## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK

The Tripo3D MCP server connects Claude Web, Desktop, and Cowork to your Tripo3D account through Composio. Once connected, Claude can use the available Tripo3D tools and triggers to complete tasks on your behalf.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Tripo3D MCP?

With a standalone Tripo3D MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Tripo3D tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Tripo3D and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

### Can I use Tool Router MCP with Claude Cowork?

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 Tripo3D tools.

### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Tripo3D while using Tool Router?

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Tripo3D 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.

### How safe is my data with Composio Tool Router?

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 Tripo3D data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
