## Introduction

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 Accredible certificates account to Cowork via Composio Connect, enabling it to bulk create certificates for this course, download PDFs for recent issued credentials, list all available certificate templates, and more such actions on your behalf without compromising your account security.

## What is Claude Cowork?

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 Accredible certificates through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent.

## What is the Accredible certificates MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Accredible certificates MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Accredible certificates account. It provides structured and secure access to your digital credentials platform, so your agent can perform actions like issuing certificates, managing groups, generating PDFs, and organizing templates on your behalf.
- Bulk credential creation and issuance: Let your agent create and issue batches of digital certificates or badges to multiple recipients in one go.
- Automated group and collection management: Effortlessly create, clone, or delete groups and collections to organize recipients and credentials based on your programs or courses.
- Credential evidence and reference handling: Add or remove evidence items or references to credentials, supporting richer documentation and verification for each certificate.
- PDF certificate generation and export: Quickly generate and download PDF copies of credentials, individually or in bulk, for easy offline distribution or archiving.
- Template listing and selection: Retrieve and browse all available certificate templates, so your agent can help you pick or preview designs for new credentials.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Accredible certificates MCP?

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

### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Accredible certificates while using Tool Router?

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