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

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

The Certifier MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Certifier account. It provides structured and secure access to your digital credential management, so your agent can create, issue, send, and organize certificates and credentials on your behalf.

  • Instant credential creation and issuing: Instruct your agent to create, issue, and send new digital certificates or badges to recipients in a single seamless workflow.
  • Automated credential delivery: Have your agent send published credentials directly to recipients via email with just a simple command.
  • Credential activity insights: Let the agent retrieve and summarize interaction events—like views or downloads—for any issued credential.
  • Design and template management: Ask your agent to list available certificate or badge designs, making it easy to select and use templates for new credentials.
  • Group and recipient organization: Enable your agent to fetch and organize groups of recipients, streamlining large-scale credential distribution.

FAQ

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

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

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

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