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 Xata account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to list all records from the customers table, insert a new order with status pending, update the email field for customer 101, 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. ## Also integrate Xata with - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/xata/framework/claude-code) - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/xata/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/xata/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/xata/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/xata/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/xata/framework/hermes-agent) - [Atomic Agent](https://composio.dev/toolkits/xata/framework/atomic-agent) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/xata/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/xata/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/xata/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/xata/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/xata/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/xata/framework/crew-ai) - [Pydantic AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/xata/framework/pydantic-ai) - [AutoGen](https://composio.dev/toolkits/xata/framework/autogen) ## Connect Xata to Claude Cowork ### Connecting Xata to Claude Web, Desktop, and Cowork Two ways to add the Composio connector. Pick whichever you prefer. ### 1. Add with one click Click the button. Claude opens with the Composio connector filled in. Click Add, then go to step 2. [Add to Claude](https://claude.ai/customize/connectors?modal=add-custom-connector&connectorName=Composio&connectorUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fconnect.composio.dev%2Fmcp) ### Add manually In Claude Desktop, click Customize in the left sidebar, then select Connectors and click the + icon at the top. Click Add custom connector and paste in the Composio MCP server URL: ```bash https://connect.composio.dev/mcp ``` ## What is the Xata MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Xata MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Xata account. It provides structured and secure access to your organization settings and deployment catalog, so your agent can inspect organization details, update organization names, review API keys, compare deployment options, and check project limits on your behalf. - Organization management: Have your agent retrieve your organization details or update its name when your team or project changes. - API key review: Instruct your agent to list the API keys associated with your Xata organization for credential checks and audits. - Region and instance planning: Let the agent list available deployment regions and instance types to help you compare hosting options. - PostgreSQL image and extension discovery: Direct your agent to explore available PostgreSQL images and check which extensions each image supports. - Project capacity checks: Have your agent retrieve default project resource limits before you plan or adjust workloads. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `XATA_GET_ORGANIZATION` | Get Organization Details | Tool to retrieve detailed information about a specific organization by its ID. Use when you need to check organization status, name, billing information, or admin settings. | | `XATA_GET_PROJECT_LIMITS` | Get project resource limits | Tool to retrieve the default resource limits for projects in a specified organization. Use when you need to check maximum instances, storage, allowed regions, or branch limits for a Xata organization. | | `XATA_LIST_EXTENSIONS` | List Extensions | Tool to get available PostgreSQL extensions for a specific image. Use when you need to check which extensions can be enabled for a particular PostgreSQL version in an organization. | | `XATA_LIST_IMAGES` | List Available Images | Tool to retrieve a list of all available postgres images for a specified organization and region. Use when you need to check which database images are available for deployment. | | `XATA_LIST_INSTANCE_TYPES` | List Instance Types | Tool to retrieve a list of all instance types for the specified organization and region. Use when you need to check available instance types and their configurations including CPU, RAM, and pricing. | | `XATA_LIST_ORGANIZATION_API_KEYS` | List Organization API Keys | Tool to retrieve a list of API keys for a specific Xata organization. Use when you need to view all API keys associated with an organization. | | `XATA_LIST_AVAILABLE_REGIONS` | List Available Regions | Tool to retrieve a list of all regions where new branches can be deployed for the specified organization. Use when you need to check which regions are available for deploying new branches. | | `XATA_UPDATE_ORGANIZATION` | Update Organization | Tool to update information for an existing organization, such as its name. Use when you need to modify organization details. | ## Supported Triggers None listed. ## Troubleshooting ### 1. Why does Claude not use the Composio connector for Xata? The connector can show as connected, but Claude must use it in each Xata conversation. - Click + at the lower left of the chat, or type /. - Hover Connectors. - Turn on Composio. - Ask Claude to connect to Xata again. ### 2. Why does Claude show an MCP server error before Xata connects? Claude can show Couldn't reach the MCP server or Authorization with the MCP server failed when you add the connector for Xata. - 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 Xata. - If it fails again, send the error and the ofid_ reference id to support@composio.dev. ### 3. Why does the Xata authorization link not work? The Composio connector is one server. Your Xata account connects separately when Claude asks for it. - If the browser does not open, or the link expires, ask Claude to retry the Xata connection. - Composio creates a fresh Xata authorization link. - Open that link in your browser and finish the Xata sign-in. ### 4. Why do Xata actions fail after they worked before? The Xata connection can expire or lose permission. - Ask Claude to inspect the Xata connection. - If the connection is unhealthy, disconnect it when Claude prompts you. - Reconnect the Xata account and retry the action. - If Claude shows a permission prompt, approve it before Claude changes data in Xata. - If the action still fails with a permission error, check that the connected account has that permission in Xata itself. ### 5. How do I switch to a different Xata account? Claude can manage the Xata connection for you. - Ask Claude to disconnect or delete the current Xata account. - Ask Claude to connect Xata again. - Open the new Composio authorization link for Xata. - Sign in with the other Xata account in the browser. - After the account connects, ask Claude to retry the Xata task. ### 6. Why is my Xata connection missing in Claude Desktop or on a Team plan? The connector belongs to your Claude account, so your Xata connection works in Claude Web, Desktop, and Cowork. - In Claude Desktop, open Customize > Connectors. - Next to Composio, click ⋮ and click Clear cache. - If Xata 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 Xata. ## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK The Xata MCP server connects Claude Web, Desktop, and Cowork to your Xata account through Composio. Once connected, Claude can use the available Xata tools and triggers to complete tasks on your behalf. ## Complete Code None listed. ## How to build Xata MCP Agent with another framework - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/xata/framework/claude-code) - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/xata/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/xata/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/xata/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/xata/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/xata/framework/hermes-agent) - [Atomic Agent](https://composio.dev/toolkits/xata/framework/atomic-agent) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/xata/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/xata/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/xata/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/xata/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/xata/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/xata/framework/crew-ai) - [Pydantic AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/xata/framework/pydantic-ai) - [AutoGen](https://composio.dev/toolkits/xata/framework/autogen) ## Related Toolkits - [Google Sheets](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googlesheets) - Google Sheets is a cloud-based spreadsheet tool for real-time collaboration and data analysis.

With a standalone Xata MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Xata tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Xata 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 Xata tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Xata while using Tool Router? Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Xata 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 Xata data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
