Zelt is a people operations platform for HR, payroll, benefits, devices, and workforce data. It brings employee operations into one secure, organized workspace.

163 Tools

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 Zelt account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to list active employees in Zelt, review employee documents in Zelt, find company devices assigned to employees, 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 exact tool slugs and parameter tables, see the tool catalog in the Composio docs.

3. Connect your Zelt account

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

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "List active employees in Zelt"
  • "Review employee documents in Zelt"
  • "Find company devices assigned to employees"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Zelt MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Zelt account. It provides structured and secure access to workforce records and people operations, so your agent can create users, organize departments and roles, manage absences and attendance, and set up HR tasks and documents on your behalf.

  • Workforce and organization setup: Have your agent create users, departments, company entities, sites, job levels, job positions, and work schedules in Zelt.
  • Absence and attendance management: Let the agent create absence policies, record absences, import attendance entries, and create attendance jobs.
  • Employee records and benefits: Direct your agent to add user addresses, contracts, compensation, equity, family members, benefits, health insurance, pensions, bank accounts, tax information, roles, and ID checks.
  • HR documents and equipment: Instruct your agent to create company documents and add devices for workforce administration.
  • Requests, goals, and task planning: Have your agent create request templates, submit requests, set goals, create tasks, and add task checklists.

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the Zelt authorization link not work?

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

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

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

The Zelt connection can expire or lose permission.

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

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

Claude can manage the Zelt connection for you.

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

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

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

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