2. Add the Composio MCP server

Click Add custom connector and paste in the Composio MCP server URL:

bash
https://connect.composio.dev/mcp
Add custom connector dialog with Composio MCP server URL

3. Authorize in your browser

Click Connect. You'll be redirected to a browser window where you can authorize Composio to continue.

4. Connect your Codereadr account

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

For example, ask Cowork to:

  • "Create a new barcode scanning service"
  • "Configure survey questions after each scan"
  • "Enable Kiosk Mode for unattended device"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Codereadr MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Codereadr account. It provides structured and secure access to your data collection and barcode scanning workflows, so your agent can create services, configure scan workflows, manage databases, and automate data collection processes for you.

  • Automated service and workflow setup: Let your agent create new CodeREADr services and configure custom workflows for scanning, picking, delivery, and receiving tasks.
  • Custom data collection form creation: Easily set up or modify data capture forms by adding or deleting custom questions after each scan.
  • Real-time scan integration: Configure Direct Scan URLs, postback endpoints, or Google Sheets connectors to forward scan results instantly to your desired platforms.
  • Device and database management: Direct your agent to delete devices or entire databases when they are no longer needed, streamlining your data environment.
  • Kiosk and unattended scanning configuration: Enable and fine-tune Kiosk Mode for unattended or dedicated scanning stations to support high-volume operations.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

With a standalone Codereadr MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Codereadr tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Codereadr and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

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 Codereadr tools.

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Codereadr 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.

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 Codereadr data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.

We chose Composio over Pipedream because it delivered depth where it mattered — niche tools and tricky edge cases other platforms simply ignored. That gave us confidence to scale without compromising.

As a solo builder, shipping fast is life or death. The only way I can outcompete incumbents is by outmanoeuvring them. Getting bogged down managing agent auth would have been a death sentence.

Before Composio, adding tool integrations was slow and resource-intensive. Each one could take weeks of engineering time, and maintaining them meant constantly keeping up with API changes.
