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 Cloudlayer account to Cowork via Composio Connect, enabling it to generate PDF from a contract HTML template, convert a marketing webpage to a PNG image, list your most recent generated assets, and more such actions on your behalf without compromising your account security.

4. Connect your Cloudlayer account

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

For example, ask Cowork to:

  • "Generate PDF from a contract HTML template"
  • "Convert a marketing webpage to a PNG image"
  • "List your most recent generated assets"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

That's it. Composio's tools are now available in Cowork, and your Cloudlayer 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 Cloudlayer through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent.

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

The Cloudlayer MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Cloudlayer account. It provides structured and secure access to dynamic document and asset generation, so your agent can perform actions like converting HTML or URLs to PDFs or images, managing assets, and configuring storage on your behalf.

  • Automated PDF and image generation: Instantly convert HTML content or public URLs into professional PDFs and images for reporting, documentation, or sharing.
  • Asset management and retrieval: Let your agent fetch metadata or download links for generated assets, or list your most recent document and image creations.
  • Dynamic storage configuration: Seamlessly add and manage external storage buckets or containers for organizing generated files and assets.
  • Real-time API health monitoring: Enable your agent to check Cloudlayer API status, ensuring your integrations are always up and running.
  • Flexible screenshot and rendering tasks: Capture dynamic webpage screenshots as images or PDFs, with full control over conversion parameters, for advanced automation workflows.

FAQ

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

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

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

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