How to connect Transloadit to Claude Cowork

Cowork is Anthropic's AI agent for knowledge work. Think of it as Claude Code for everything else. It works autonomously with your computer, local files, and applications to accomplish complex tasks.

This guide walks you through the easiest and most secure way to connect your Transloadit account to Cowork via Composio Connect, enabling it to list recent Transloadit assembly failures, convert uploaded videos to MP4, check file processing status by assembly, and more such actions on your behalf without compromising your account security.

Connecting Transloadit to Claude Cowork

1. Open Customize

In Claude Desktop, click Customize in the left sidebar, then select Connectors and click the + icon at the top.

2. Add the Composio MCP server

Click Add custom connector and paste in the Composio MCP server URL:

Claude Cowork is Anthropic's agent for general knowledge work. It can use your computer, files, and connected applications to complete longer-running tasks across your work tools.

With Composio Connect, Cowork can securely access apps like Transloadit through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent.

The Transloadit MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Transloadit account. It provides structured and secure access to your file-processing workflows, so your agent can start processing jobs, monitor progress, review results, cancel active work, and retry failed jobs on your behalf.

• Start file-processing workflows: Have your agent launch a workflow from configured processing steps or an existing template, with local files included when needed.
• Monitor processing progress: Let the agent check a workflow’s latest state, uploaded files, warnings, and processing results.
• Find previous workflows: Instruct your agent to list recent workflows and narrow them by state, date range, or keywords.
• Cancel active processing: Direct your agent to stop a running workflow and any file upload still in progress.
• Recover jobs and resend notifications: Have your agent retry a crashed workflow while its input files remain available, or resend the result notification for completed work.
