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

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

The Ascora MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Ascora account. It provides structured and secure access to your field service operations, so your agent can perform actions like managing customer data, retrieving jobs, and automating quotations on your behalf.

  • Customer management and retrieval: Let your agent fetch a list of customers or access customer details to support scheduling and communications.
  • Automated quotation creation: Have your agent quickly generate new quotations for customers, streamlining your sales and service workflow.
  • Job list retrieval and filtering: Ask your agent to pull and filter job listings, making it easy to keep track of ongoing and upcoming work orders.
  • Customer record cleanup: Direct your agent to delete customer records safely after confirming their existence, helping you maintain an up-to-date database.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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 Ascora tools.

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Ascora 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.
