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 Conversion tools through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent.

What is the Conversion tools MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Conversion tools MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Conversion tools account. It provides structured and secure access to a wide range of file and document conversion utilities, so your agent can convert documents, extract data, generate snapshots, and automate file handling between multiple formats on your behalf.

  • Seamless document format conversion: Effortlessly have your agent convert Excel, Word, Markdown, OXPS, or JPG files to formats like CSV, HTML, PDF, text, or JSON.
  • Website snapshot creation: Ask your agent to capture entire web pages as PDF documents or PNG images, ready to download or share.
  • Automated file upload and processing: Let your agent upload local files, obtain conversion-ready file IDs, and initiate multi-step conversion workflows.
  • AI-powered data extraction: Use AI tools to transform images (JPG) into structured JSON, streamlining data entry and analysis tasks.
  • Easy retrieval of conversion results: Direct your agent to track conversion tasks and download the final output files once processing is complete.

FAQ

What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Conversion tools MCP?

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

Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Conversion tools while using Tool Router?

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