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 Writer account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to summarize key findings from uploaded medical notes, generate chat responses using enterprise LLM, list all knowledge graphs in your workspace, 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 Writer account

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

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "Summarize key findings from uploaded medical notes"
  • "Generate chat responses using enterprise LLM"
  • "List all knowledge graphs in your workspace"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Writer MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Writer account. It provides structured and secure access to your Writer AI platform, so your agent can perform actions like querying knowledge graphs, generating chat completions, extracting medical concepts, managing files, and orchestrating enterprise AI workflows on your behalf.

  • Conversational AI and content generation: Use your agent to generate chat-based completions and natural language responses using Writer's advanced LLMs.
  • Enterprise knowledge graph management: Create, retrieve, list, or delete knowledge graphs to organize and access structured knowledge within your organization.
  • Automated data extraction from clinical text: Extract medical entities and standardized codes (like SNOMED CT) from unstructured clinical or healthcare text for downstream analysis.
  • Application and model discovery: List available no-code agent applications and LLM models to streamline how your agent selects tools for specific tasks.
  • File management and inspection: Retrieve and review uploaded files, filter by attributes, and manage your enterprise content for further AI-driven actions.

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the Writer authorization link not work?

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

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

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

The Writer connection can expire or lose permission.

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

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

Claude can manage the Writer connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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