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 Veo account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to generate an 8-second video of a sunrise, download your latest Veo-generated video, list all available Gemini video models, 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.

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "Generate an 8-second video of a sunrise"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Veo MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Veo account. It provides structured and secure access to Google's Veo video generation platform, so your agent can generate videos, monitor video jobs, download results, and explore available models on your behalf.

  • High-fidelity video generation: Direct your agent to create 8-second, 720p videos with natively generated audio using Veo’s advanced AI capabilities.
  • Automated video download: Let your agent fetch and download generated videos as soon as they’re ready, saving time and manual effort.
  • Job status monitoring: Ask your agent to check and report on the progress or completion of any ongoing video generation operation.
  • Model exploration and selection: Enable your agent to list and inspect available Gemini API models, helping you choose the best option for your creative needs.

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the Veo authorization link not work?

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

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

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

The Veo connection can expire or lose permission.

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

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

Claude can manage the Veo connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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