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 Control d account to Cowork via Composio Connect, enabling it to list all devices connected to your account, remove a device by its ID, show known access IPs for your network, and more such actions on your behalf without compromising your account security.

Also integrate Control d with

Connecting Control d to Claude Cowork

1. Open Customize

In Claude Desktop, click Customize in the left sidebar, then select Connectors and click the + icon at the top.

4. Connect your Control d account

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

For example, ask Cowork to:

  • "List all devices connected to your account"
  • "Remove a device by its ID"
  • "Show known access IPs for your network"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Control d MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Control d account. It provides structured and secure access to your DNS filtering and device management environment, so your agent can perform actions like managing devices, enforcing policies, retrieving analytics, and monitoring network access on your behalf.

  • Device inventory management: Easily list all devices on your account or remove specific devices by their identifier for streamlined device control.
  • Profile and rule administration: Direct your agent to delete profiles, custom rules, or schedules—helping you maintain and enforce up-to-date network policies.
  • Network access monitoring: Retrieve a list of known access IPs to keep tabs on which endpoints are connecting to your network infrastructure.
  • Analytics endpoints discovery: Quickly fetch available analytics storage regions and endpoints so you can integrate and analyze DNS traffic data efficiently.
  • Organization details access: Have the agent fetch and present your organization's account details for easy reference and auditing.

How to build Control d MCP Agent with another framework

FAQ

What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Control d MCP?

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

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

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