## 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 AssemblyAI account to Cowork via Composio Connect, enabling it to transcribe podcast episode and extract highlights, summarize customer call recording with chapters, generate subtitles for uploaded webinar audio, and more such actions on your behalf without compromising your account security.

## Also integrate AssemblyAI with

- [ChatGPT Work](https://composio.dev/toolkits/assemblyai/framework/chatgpt)
- [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/assemblyai/framework/hermes-agent)

## Connect AssemblyAI to Claude Cowork

### Connecting AssemblyAI 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:

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

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

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

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `ASSEMBLYAI_DELETE_TRANSCRIPT` | Delete Transcript Content | Irreversibly delete a transcript's stored content. AssemblyAI retains a tombstone that later GET and list calls can still return, and those later responses may omit the is_deleted marker. |
| `ASSEMBLYAI_EXPORT_SUBTITLES` | Export Subtitles | Export a completed transcript as raw SRT or WebVTT subtitle text. |
| `ASSEMBLYAI_GET_REDACTED_AUDIO` | Get Redacted Audio | Get the processing status and short-lived signed download URL for PII-redacted audio. The transcript must have been submitted with text and audio PII redaction enabled and at least one explicit redaction policy. Treat the returned URL as transient and do not log, cache, or persist it. |
| `ASSEMBLYAI_GET_TRANSCRIPT` | Get Transcript | Retrieve an AssemblyAI transcript's current state and results, optionally waiting until asynchronous processing completes or fails. |
| `ASSEMBLYAI_GET_TRANSCRIPT_SEGMENTS` | Get Transcript Segments | Return sentence- or paragraph-level segments, timestamps, confidence, and words for a completed transcript. |
| `ASSEMBLYAI_LIST_TRANSCRIPTS` | List Transcripts | List project transcripts from the last 90 days, newest first, with optional filters and a cursor for the next older page. |
| `ASSEMBLYAI_SEARCH_TRANSCRIPT` | Search Transcript | Find words or phrases in a completed transcript and return occurrence counts and timestamps. |
| `ASSEMBLYAI_SUBMIT_TRANSCRIPT` | Submit Transcript | Queue an asynchronous pre-recorded transcription from a reachable media URL. Returns immediately with the transcript ID and processing status; use GET_TRANSCRIPT to wait for results. |
| `ASSEMBLYAI_UPLOAD_MEDIA` | Upload Media | Upload an audio or video file to AssemblyAI and return the project-private URL to use when submitting a transcript. AssemblyAI provides no API to delete this uploaded object; it remains subject to provider retention. |

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and AssemblyAI MCP?

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

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

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