## 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 Android Texter through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent.

## What is the Android Texter MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Android Texter MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Android Texter account. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Android Texter operations on your behalf.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `ANDROID_TEXTER_CREATE_QUICK_REPLY` | Create Quick Reply | Create a reusable quick-reply shortcut. The shortcut must be unique within the connected Android Texter account. |
| `ANDROID_TEXTER_DELETE_QUICK_REPLY` | Delete Quick Reply | Permanently delete one saved quick reply by ID. |
| `ANDROID_TEXTER_GET_MESSAGE_STATUS` | Get Message Status | Get the provider's current queued, sent, delivered, or failed status for a message ID returned by Send Message. |
| `ANDROID_TEXTER_LIST_CONTACTS` | List Contacts | List contacts in the connected Android Texter account, optionally filtering by name or phone text and tag. |
| `ANDROID_TEXTER_LIST_CONVERSATION_HISTORY` | List Conversation History | Return one newest-first page of inbound and outbound message history exchanged with one phone number. Pass next_cursor back as cursor to continue. |
| `ANDROID_TEXTER_LIST_DEVICES` | List Devices | List Android devices linked to the account, including IDs and online state needed to select a sending device. |
| `ANDROID_TEXTER_LIST_MESSAGES` | List Messages | List one newest-first page of messages, optionally restricting results to sent or received messages. Pass next_cursor back as cursor with the same direction to continue. |
| `ANDROID_TEXTER_LIST_QUICK_REPLIES` | List Quick Replies | List saved quick-reply shortcuts that can be reused when composing messages. |
| `ANDROID_TEXTER_SEND_MESSAGE` | Send Message | Immediately queue a real SMS or MMS to one phone number through a linked Android device. This has an external side effect and consumes message quota. A successful queue acknowledgement does not prove that the message was sent or delivered. |
| `ANDROID_TEXTER_SEND_MESSAGES_BATCH` | Send Messages Batch | Sequentially queue the same real SMS or MMS for 1-10 recipients. Each queued message is irreversible and consumes quota. Processing stops after the first failed or unknown attempt, and remaining recipients are marked not_attempted. |

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Android Texter MCP?

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

### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Android Texter while using Tool Router?

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