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 Daffy through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent. ## What is the Daffy MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Daffy MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Daffy account. It provides structured and secure access to your donor-advised fund, so your agent can check balances, make donations, search for nonprofits, and manage your giving history on your behalf. - Effortless charitable gifting and donations: Instruct your agent to create new charitable gifts, make donations, or send gifts to specific nonprofits right from your account. - Donation and contribution tracking: Have your agent pull detailed lists of your past donations and contributions, giving you a clear view of your giving activity and history. - Fund balance and account management: Let your agent check your current fund balance or retrieve your profile details, keeping you updated on your financial standing in Daffy. - Non-profit discovery and research: Ask your agent to search for nonprofits by name, cause, or EIN, and fetch detailed information about organizations you might want to support. - User causes and personalized insights: Enable your agent to list your preferred causes or explore your giving patterns to suggest new ways to maximize your charitable impact. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `DAFFY_CREATE_GIFT` | Create Gift | Tool to create a new charitable gift.

With a standalone Daffy MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Daffy tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Daffy 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 Daffy tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Daffy while using Tool Router? Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Daffy 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 Daffy data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) ยท [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
