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

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

The Beaconstac MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Beaconstac account. It provides structured and secure access to your QR code and proximity marketing assets, so your agent can perform actions like creating QR templates, managing places and tags, and organizing collections on your behalf.

  • QR code template creation and management: Easily instruct your agent to create new QR code templates or delete outdated ones, streamlining your marketing campaigns.
  • Place and location asset organization: Let your agent register new places or list all your locations for precise proximity marketing management.
  • Bulk QR code collection browsing: Have your agent search, filter, and organize your bulk QR code collections to keep assets accessible and sorted.
  • Tagging and categorization automation: Direct your agent to create or delete tags, making it simple to categorize and organize QR codes and related objects.
  • Organization and user management: Enable your agent to list organizations, onboard new users, or manage access for streamlined account administration.

How to build Beaconstac MCP Agent with another framework

FAQ

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

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

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

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