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 Apiflash account to Cowork via Composio Connect, enabling it to capture a screenshot of our homepage now, take screenshots of three competitor sites, check your current ApiFlash quota usage, and more such actions on your behalf without compromising your account security. ## Also integrate Apiflash with - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/apiflash/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/apiflash/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/apiflash/framework/claude-code) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/apiflash/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/apiflash/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/apiflash/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/apiflash/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/apiflash/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/apiflash/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/apiflash/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/apiflash/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/apiflash/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/apiflash/framework/crew-ai) ## Connect Apiflash to Claude Cowork ### Connecting Apiflash 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 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. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `APIFLASH_APIFLASH_BATCH_CAPTURE_SCREENSHOTS` | Batch Capture Screenshots | Tool to capture screenshots for multiple URLs in a single request. Use when you have a list of pages to snapshot in batch. | | `APIFLASH_CAPTURE_SCREENSHOT` | Capture Screenshot | Tool to capture a screenshot of a website. Returns a JSON response with URLs to the screenshot (and optionally extracted HTML/text). Supports extensive customization including viewport dimensions, full page capture, quality settings, element selection, geolocation emulation, and more. Use when you need to capture website screenshots for documentation, testing, or monitoring purposes. | | `APIFLASH_APIFLASH_CAPTURE_WEBSITE_SCREENSHOT_POST` | Capture Website Screenshot (POST) | Capture a screenshot of any website. Returns a URL to the generated screenshot image. Supports full-page captures, custom viewport sizes, and multiple image formats (JPEG, PNG, WebP). Use this tool when you need to visually capture web pages for documentation, monitoring, or analysis. | | `APIFLASH_GET_QUOTA_INFORMATION` | Get Quota Information | Tool to retrieve current API quota usage and limits. Use after authentication to monitor usage and reset times. | | `APIFLASH_GET_SCREENSHOT_METADATA` | Get Screenshot Metadata | Retrieve metadata (file size, MIME type) for a previously captured screenshot. Use this tool when you need to check the size or format of a screenshot without downloading the full image. Requires the screenshot URL from a prior capture action. | ## Supported Triggers None listed. ## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK The Apiflash MCP server connects Claude Cowork to your Apiflash account through Composio. Once connected, Cowork can use the available Apiflash tools and triggers to complete tasks on your behalf. ## Complete Code None listed. ## How to build Apiflash MCP Agent with another framework - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/apiflash/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/apiflash/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/apiflash/framework/claude-code) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/apiflash/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/apiflash/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/apiflash/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/apiflash/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/apiflash/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/apiflash/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/apiflash/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/apiflash/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/apiflash/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/apiflash/framework/crew-ai) ## Related Toolkits - [Supabase](https://composio.dev/toolkits/supabase) - Supabase is an open-source backend platform offering scalable Postgres databases, authentication, storage, and real-time APIs.

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. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) ยท [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
