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 Ambee account to Cowork via Composio Connect, enabling it to show today's air quality for Paris, get wildfire risk forecast for California, retrieve pollen count by your ZIP code, and more such actions on your behalf without compromising your account security.

Also integrate Ambee with

Connecting Ambee 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.

4. Connect your Ambee account

Back in Cowork, ask the agent to connect to Ambee or give it any Ambee-related task.

For example, ask Cowork to:

  • "Show today's air quality for Paris"
  • "Get wildfire risk forecast for California"
  • "Retrieve pollen count by your ZIP code"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

What is the Ambee MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Ambee MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Ambee account. It provides structured and secure access to hyperlocal environmental data, so your agent can perform actions like retrieving real-time air quality, fetching pollen and weather updates, forecasting wildfire risk, and monitoring natural disasters on your behalf.

  • Hyperlocal air quality monitoring: Instantly get real-time air quality data for any city, postal code, or precise geographic coordinates to stay informed about pollution and AQI levels in your area.
  • Air quality forecasting: Ask your agent to predict air quality trends up to 48 hours in advance for specific locations, helping you plan outdoor activities with health in mind.
  • Wildfire risk assessment: Access weekly wildfire risk forecasts for targeted places, so you can stay aware of environmental hazards before they happen.
  • Disaster and incident tracking: Retrieve the latest natural disaster data by continent, keeping you updated about major environmental events worldwide.
  • Geocoding and location resolution: Effortlessly transform city names or addresses into latitude and longitude coordinates, making location-based queries accurate and seamless for your agent.

FAQ

What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Ambee MCP?

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

Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Ambee while using Tool Router?

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