## 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 Coinbase account to Cowork via Composio Connect, enabling it to show all your Coinbase wallet balances, list every crypto wallet I own, display recent wallets added to your account, 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 Coinbase through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent.

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

The Coinbase MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Coinbase account. It provides structured and secure access to your cryptocurrency wallets, so your agent can retrieve wallet balances, monitor your digital assets, and help you stay informed about your crypto holdings in real time.
- Comprehensive wallet listing: Instantly fetch a full list of all your Coinbase wallets, including details for each asset you hold.
- Balance monitoring: Let your agent check and report the current balances for every cryptocurrency wallet connected to your account.
- Portfolio overview: Get an at-a-glance summary of your crypto assets, helping you understand your overall digital asset distribution.
- Streamlined asset visibility: Use your agent to quickly surface wallet addresses, asset types, and wallet-specific metadata for easier tracking and management.

## Frequently Asked Questions

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

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

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

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