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 Worksnaps account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to show your total hours logged this week, list all tasks for project Alpha, create a new project for client onboarding, 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 Worksnaps account

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

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "Show your total hours logged this week"
  • "List all tasks for project Alpha"
  • "Create a new project for client onboarding"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Worksnaps MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Worksnaps account. It provides structured and secure access to your time tracking and project data, so your agent can perform actions like tracking project hours, managing tasks, retrieving detailed reports, and accessing user assignments on your behalf.

  • Project and task management: Direct your agent to create new projects, add tasks, or delete tasks from specific projects for streamlined workflow organization.
  • Comprehensive project reporting: Request detailed time tracking reports for individual projects, including daily summaries and custom date ranges.
  • Account and assignment insights: Let your agent fetch account details and list all user assignments to see which projects you're working on or managing.
  • Quick project overview retrieval: Ask the agent to list all accessible projects or view detailed information about any project with just a prompt.
  • Task detail and status checks: Retrieve details for any task within a project, so you can stay on top of progress and workload effortlessly.

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the Worksnaps authorization link not work?

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

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

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

The Worksnaps connection can expire or lose permission.

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

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

Claude can manage the Worksnaps connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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