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 Better stack account to Cowork via Composio Connect, enabling it to show uptime percentage for API monitor, create escalation policy for on-call team, list heartbeat availability for last week, and more such actions on your behalf without compromising your account security.

4. Connect your Better stack account

Back in Cowork, ask the agent to connect to Better stack or give it any Better stack-related task.

For example, ask Cowork to:

  • "Show uptime percentage for API monitor"
  • "Create escalation policy for on-call team"
  • "List heartbeat availability for last week"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

That's it. Composio's tools are now available in Cowork, and your Better stack account is ready to use.

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

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

The Better stack MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Better Stack account. It provides structured and secure access to your monitoring, logging, and incident management tools, so your agent can perform actions like retrieving uptime metrics, managing escalation policies, checking heartbeat statuses, and organizing log sources on your behalf.

  • Monitor health checks and availability: Let your agent fetch uptime percentages, availability summaries, and incident details for any monitor in your stack.
  • Automated escalation policy management: Instruct your agent to create or delete escalation policies, keeping your incident response workflows up-to-date without manual effort.
  • Heartbeat tracking and organization: Have your agent fetch specific heartbeat data, check heartbeat availability, or group related heartbeats for easier monitoring.
  • Log source grouping and management: Enable your agent to create or delete source groups, helping you organize log streams and maintain a tidy observability structure.
  • Webhook integration setup: Direct your agent to register outgoing webhooks so your stack can notify external systems of important events automatically.

FAQ

What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Better stack MCP?

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

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

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