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

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

The Customgpt MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your CustomGPT.ai account. It provides structured and secure access to your chatbot projects, so your agent can list, manage, update, and analyze your AI-powered chatbots and their licenses on your behalf.

  • Project and agent management: Effortlessly list all your CustomGPT projects, retrieve their details, and even delete agents you no longer need.
  • Comprehensive license handling: Let your agent fetch, update, or remove licenses attached to any of your chatbot projects, ensuring you always have the right access and compliance.
  • Chat conversation insights: Retrieve complete chat histories from your AI chatbot conversations to analyze user interactions or debug sessions.
  • User profile and usage monitoring: Automatically fetch your account profile and check on your usage limits, including agents, words, and queries, so you never exceed your quotas.
  • Project settings inspection: Quickly pull and review configuration details for any chatbot project to audit or adjust your bot's setup.

FAQ

What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Customgpt MCP?

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

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

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