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.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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.

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.

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.

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.
