## Introduction

Cowork is Anthropic's AI agent for knowledge work. Think of it as Claude Code for everything else. It works autonomously with your computer, local files, and applications to accomplish complex tasks.
This guide walks you through the easiest and most secure way to connect your Dify account to Cowork via Composio Connect, enabling it to run Dify workflow to process ticket, fetch Dify workflow run history, update Dify workflow configuration and test, and more such actions on your behalf without compromising your account security.

## Also integrate Dify with

```

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

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

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

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `DIFY_GET_WORKFLOW_APP_CONFIGURATION` | Get Workflow App Configuration | Return the connected Workflow app's identity, declared input form and upload limits, tool icons, and hosted-site settings. If the app is unpublished, the response identifies the unavailable parameters section while preserving the other metadata. |
| `DIFY_GET_WORKFLOW_RUN` | Get Workflow Run | Return one workflow run's status, inputs, arbitrary outputs, error, and execution metrics by run ID. |
| `DIFY_LIST_WORKFLOW_RUNS` | List Workflow Runs | Return one page of run summaries for the connected Workflow app, with filters and a continuation cursor for older or additional runs. |
| `DIFY_RUN_WORKFLOW` | Run Workflow | Run the connected app's latest published workflow in blocking mode and return its app-defined outputs. Inspect the app configuration first: the configured workflow may perform irreversible external side effects. |

## Supported Triggers

None listed.

## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK

The Dify MCP server connects Claude Cowork to your Dify account through Composio. Once connected, Cowork can use the available Dify tools and triggers to complete tasks on your behalf.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Dify MCP?

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

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

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