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

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

The Contentful graphql MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Contentful account. It provides structured and secure access to your content repositories, so your agent can fetch entries, run custom GraphQL queries, retrieve persisted queries, and manage API tokens on your behalf.

  • Dynamic content fetching via GraphQL: Let your agent query and retrieve content from any Contentful space and environment using flexible GraphQL queries tailored to your needs.
  • Run persisted GraphQL queries: Efficiently execute pre-registered, cached GraphQL queries by hash for faster and more consistent content access.
  • On-demand token management: Automatically request and handle Contentful Management API (CMA) tokens so your agent stays authorized for secure operations.
  • Custom data retrieval and filtering: Pull structured data, filter content collections, and assemble exactly the information you want from your Contentful instance.

Supported Tools & Triggers

Tools
Get CMA TokenTool to retrieve a Contentful Management API (CMA) access token.

FAQ

What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Contentful graphql MCP?

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

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

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