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 Workiom account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to list all active projects in our workspace, create a new client record in CRM list, fetch overdue tasks from the Tasks list, 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 Workiom account

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

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "List all active projects in our workspace"
  • "Create a new client record in CRM list"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Workiom MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Workiom account. It provides structured and secure access to your Workiom workspace, so your agent can perform actions like listing your databases, creating new workflow records, and retrieving business data automatically.

  • List and explore Workiom databases: Instantly fetch and review all lists in your workspace, making it easy to discover and reference your business data structures.
  • Automate record creation: Direct your agent to add new records to any list, capturing details like text, numbers, dates, and static fields for streamlined workflows and reduced manual entry.
  • Retrieve and filter records: Effortlessly pull relevant records from specific lists, with support for filtering, sorting, and pagination to quickly surface the data you need.
  • Workspace structure insights: Get field definitions and metadata for lists, so your agent can understand data models and populate records accurately.

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the Workiom authorization link not work?

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

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

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

The Workiom connection can expire or lose permission.

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

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

Claude can manage the Workiom connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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