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 Autom account to Cowork via Composio Connect, enabling it to find top Google images for electric cars, list Google-supported countries in South America, get language codes for website localization, and more such actions on your behalf without compromising your account security.

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

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

The Autom MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Autom account. It provides structured and secure access to lightning-fast search engine data, so your agent can perform actions like fetching Google images, listing supported countries and languages, and searching for Google locations—all on your behalf.

  • Instant Google image search: Let your agent fetch image results from Google, including URLs, titles, domains, and relevant metadata for any search query.
  • Supported country discovery: Ask your agent to list all Google-supported countries or filter them to suggest the most relevant locations for your needs.
  • Language code retrieval: Retrieve a comprehensive list of Google-supported language codes to enable seamless localization and multilingual experiences.
  • Location search and ranking: Search for Google-supported locations by name and get results prioritized by reach, helping you target the most populous or relevant areas first.

FAQ

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

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

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

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