## 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 Buildkite account to Cowork via Composio Connect, enabling it to list all connected agents for your org, fetch Buildkite API metadata for firewall setup, verify your Buildkite API access token details, 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 Buildkite through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent.

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

The Buildkite MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Buildkite account. It provides structured and secure access to your CI/CD platform, so your agent can perform actions like verifying API access, retrieving build metadata, and listing connected pipeline agents on your behalf.
- API token verification and management: Instantly confirm the validity, scopes, and details of your current Buildkite API token for secure automation and troubleshooting.
- Buildkite API metadata retrieval: Fetch essential API metadata, including webhook IP addresses, to support your organization's firewall and security configurations.
- Connected agent discovery: List all pipeline agents linked to your Buildkite organization, enabling dynamic monitoring and management of your CI/CD infrastructure.
- Organization-wide agent filtering: Apply filters and pagination when retrieving agents, making it easy to manage large deployments and pinpoint specific resources.

## Supported Tools

## Frequently Asked Questions

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

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

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

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