4. Connect your Descript account

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

For example, ask Cowork to:

  • "Import interview audio and create transcript"
  • "Start project-agent to remove filler words"
  • "List recent processing jobs and statuses"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Descript MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Descript account. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Descript operations on your behalf.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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