## 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 Context.dev account to Cowork via Composio Connect, enabling it to extract pricing data from competitor pages, monitor brand mentions across target websites, scrape structured data from product pages, 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 Context.dev through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent.

## What is the Context.dev MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Context.dev MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Context.dev account. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Context.dev operations on your behalf.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `CONTEXT_DEV_EXTRACT_STRUCTURED_WEB_DATA` | Extract Structured Web Data | Crawl relevant pages from a website and return data matching a caller-provided JSON Schema and extraction instructions. This is a higher-cost metered call; use SCRAPE_WEBPAGE_MARKDOWN when Markdown is sufficient. The verified one-page call consumed 10 Context.dev credits, and cost increases with pages analyzed. |
| `CONTEXT_DEV_GET_BRAND` | Get Brand | Retrieve enriched brand identity, logos, colors, industry, and description using exactly one domain, name, work email, ticker, direct URL, or transaction descriptor. Use SEARCH_BRANDS for inexpensive discovery; this full enrichment normally consumes 10 Context.dev credits. |
| `CONTEXT_DEV_GET_MONITOR_LIMITS` | Get Monitor Limits | Return the connected account's plan and current monitor usage versus its monitor limit. |
| `CONTEXT_DEV_GET_WEBDB_USAGE` | Get WebDB Usage | Return WebDB credit balance, period consumption, row count, storage, and per-collection usage for an optional time range. |
| `CONTEXT_DEV_GET_WEBSITE_STYLEGUIDE` | Get Website Styleguide | Extract a website's colors, typography, spacing, shadows, font assets, and common component styles from either a domain or one direct URL. A successful extraction normally consumes 10 Context.dev credits. |
| `CONTEXT_DEV_LIST_BATCHES` | List Batches | List and filter the connected account's asynchronous web batches from newest to oldest, returning one cursor-controlled page. |
| `CONTEXT_DEV_LIST_MONITORS` | List Monitors | List and filter the connected organization's web monitors, returning one cursor-controlled page. |
| `CONTEXT_DEV_LIST_WEBDB_COLLECTIONS` | List WebDB Collections | List the connected account's WebDB collections and return one cursor-controlled page, including each collection's sources, extraction configuration, status, usage, and timestamps. |
| `CONTEXT_DEV_PARSE_FILE` | Parse File | Convert an uploaded document, image, source file, or data file into LLM-usable Markdown. |
| `CONTEXT_DEV_SCRAPE_WEBPAGE_MARKDOWN` | Scrape Webpage to Markdown | Render one public URL and return its main or CSS-selected content as Markdown. This free-tier tool does not perform paid browser actions. A successful scrape normally consumes one Context.dev credit. |
| `CONTEXT_DEV_SEARCH_BRANDS` | Search Brands | Prefix-search Context.dev's existing brand index by company name or domain and return up to 10 lightweight matches. |

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Context.dev MCP?

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

### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Context.dev while using Tool Router?

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