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 Amara account to Cowork via Composio Connect, enabling it to list all subtitle languages for video ID, fetch English subtitles for given video, create new Spanish subtitle track for video, and more such actions on your behalf without compromising your account security. ## Also integrate Amara with - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/amara/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/amara/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/amara/framework/claude-code) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/amara/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/amara/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/amara/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/amara/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/amara/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/amara/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/amara/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/amara/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/amara/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/amara/framework/crew-ai) ## Connect Amara to Claude Cowork ### Connecting Amara 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 Amara through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent. ## What is the Amara MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Amara MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Amara account. It provides structured and secure access to your subtitle and caption management tools, so your agent can perform actions like creating subtitles, managing languages, fetching video metadata, and handling teams on your behalf. - Subtitle creation and editing: Direct your agent to add notes, create new subtitle languages, and fetch subtitle data for any supported video. - Language management: Effortlessly list all available subtitle languages for a given video, retrieve supported language options, or fetch details about specific language tracks. - Video metadata retrieval: Ask your agent to get detailed information about any video URL, including its Amara ID, title, duration, and thumbnails. - Team and user management: Let your agent list all accessible teams, pull details for a specific team, or fetch user data by username or ID for streamlined collaboration. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `AMARA_ADD_SUBTITLE_NOTE` | Add Subtitle Note | Adds a note/comment to a specific subtitle language for a video. Notes are used for collaboration and providing feedback on subtitles during the editing process. Requires a valid video ID and language code. Use this tool to document issues, provide suggestions, or communicate with other subtitle editors. | | `AMARA_ADD_VIDEO_URL` | Add Video URL | Tool to add a new URL to a video, allowing association with multiple video providers (YouTube, Vimeo, etc.). Use when you need to add alternative URLs for the same video content on different platforms. | | `AMARA_CREATE_SUBTITLE_LANGUAGE` | Create Subtitle Language | Creates a new subtitle language track for an Amara video. This is the first step before adding or uploading subtitles - you must create the language track before you can add subtitle content. Each video can have multiple subtitle languages, but you cannot create the same language twice for the same video. Use list_subtitle_languages to check existing languages before creating a new one. | | `AMARA_CREATE_SUBTITLES` | Create Subtitles | Tool to create new subtitles for a video in a specific language. Accepts subtitle data in multiple formats (SRT, VTT, DFXP, etc.) either as a string or via URL. The subtitle language must already exist for the video - use create_subtitle_language first if needed. Use when you need to add subtitle content to a video. | | `AMARA_CREATE_VIDEO` | Create Video | Tool to add a new video to Amara. Use when you need to create a video entry from a URL. Supports URLs from YouTube, Vimeo, Dailymotion, or direct video file URLs. | | `AMARA_DELETE_VIDEO_URL` | Delete Video URL | Tool to remove a video URL from a video. Use when you need to delete an unwanted or incorrect URL from a video's list of URLs. The video must have at least one other URL remaining. | | `AMARA_FETCH_SUBTITLES_DATA` | Fetch Subtitles Data | Fetch subtitle data for a video in a specific language. Returns a list of subtitle segments with start/end timestamps and text content. Use this after obtaining a video ID (from List Videos) and confirming available language codes (from List Subtitle Languages). | | `AMARA_GET_ACTIVITY` | Get Activity | Tool to retrieve detailed information about a specific activity by its ID. Use when you need to fetch metadata for a particular activity event. | | `AMARA_GET_SUBTITLE_LANGUAGE_DETAILS` | Get Subtitle Language Details | Tool to retrieve details for a single subtitle language. Use when you have video ID and language code and need metadata about that language track. | | `AMARA_GET_TEAM_DETAILS` | Get Team Details | Tool to get details on a specific team by slug.

Use this tool when you need to: - Fetch a user's profile details by their username or user ID - Get information about the authenticated user using 'me' as identifier - Look up user metadata like languages, biography, or avatar - Obtain user resource URIs for further API operations Note: User IDs (with 'id$' prefix) are more reliable than usernames since usernames can be changed by users. | | `AMARA_GET_VIDEO_URL` | Get Video URL | Tool to get details for a specific video URL. Use when you need to retrieve metadata about a specific URL entry in Amara's system by video_id and url_id. | | `AMARA_GET_VIDEO_URL_DETAILS` | Get Video URL Details | Tool to get details for a specific video URL.

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