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 Algodocs account to Cowork via Composio Connect, enabling it to extract invoice totals from uploaded PDFs, pull key data fields from bank statements, summarize contract terms from scanned documents, and more such actions on your behalf without compromising your account security. ## Also integrate Algodocs with - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/algodocs/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/algodocs/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/algodocs/framework/claude-code) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/algodocs/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/algodocs/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/algodocs/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/algodocs/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/algodocs/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/algodocs/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/algodocs/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/algodocs/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/algodocs/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/algodocs/framework/crew-ai) ## Connect Algodocs to Claude Cowork ### Connecting Algodocs 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: ```bash https://connect.composio.dev/mcp ``` ## 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 Algodocs through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent. ## What is the Algodocs MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Algodocs MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Algodocs account. It provides structured and secure access to your document processing workflows, so your agent can perform actions like extracting key data, processing business documents, and automating document-driven tasks on your behalf. - Automated data extraction from documents: Seamlessly have your agent pull structured data from invoices, receipts, contracts, and other business files—no manual setup required. - Document upload and processing: Let your agent upload PDF, image, or scanned documents for instant AI-powered extraction and analysis. - Batch processing for bulk workflows: Direct your agent to process multiple documents at once, saving time on high-volume operations and back-office work. - Secure results delivery and export: Have your agent retrieve extracted data in structured formats (like CSV or JSON) and send it where you need it—databases, spreadsheets, or apps. - End-to-end automation for business paperwork: Empower your agent to trigger full document-processing pipelines, turning unstructured files into actionable insights without human intervention. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `ALGODOCS_GET_ME` | Get Current User | Tool to retrieve current user information.

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