4. Connect your Apiflash account

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

For example, ask Cowork to:

  • "Capture a screenshot of our homepage now"

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

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

The Apiflash MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Apiflash account. It provides structured and secure access to high-quality website screenshot capture, so your agent can capture web pages, manage batches of screenshots, retrieve quota usage, and access screenshot metadata on your behalf.

  • Single and batch website screenshot capture: Instantly direct your agent to take high-resolution screenshots of one or many web pages at once, perfect for monitoring, archiving, or sharing site visuals.
  • Customizable screenshot requests: Let your agent use advanced options with POST requests to tailor captures using form data and specific parameters for precise results.
  • API quota monitoring: Check your remaining screenshot credits and quota status in real time, so your automations never hit unexpected usage limits.
  • Screenshot metadata retrieval: Pull detailed information about previously taken screenshots, including file size and dimensions, for reporting or further processing.

FAQ

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

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

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

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