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 Docker hub account to Cowork via Composio Connect, enabling it to create a new Docker Hub repository, add a member to your Docker organization, delete an old image from a repository, and more such actions on your behalf without compromising your account security.

Connecting Docker hub to Claude Cowork

1. Open Customize

In Claude Desktop, click Customize in the left sidebar, then select Connectors and click the + icon at the top.

2. Add the Composio MCP server

Click Add custom connector and paste in the Composio MCP server URL:

bash

https://connect.composio.dev/mcp

Add custom connector dialog with Composio MCP server URL

3. Authorize in your browser

Click Connect. You'll be redirected to a browser window where you can authorize Composio to continue.

4. Connect your Docker hub account

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

For example, ask Cowork to:

"Create a new Docker Hub repository"
"Add a member to your Docker organization"
"Delete an old image from a repository"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Docker hub MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Docker Hub account. It provides structured and secure access to your container repositories and organizations, so your agent can perform actions like creating repositories, managing organization members, deleting images, setting up webhooks, and cleaning up tags on your behalf.

Repository and image management: Let your agent create new Docker Hub repositories, delete existing ones, and remove specific images or tags as needed.
Organization and team automation: Easily add members to organizations, create new Docker Hub organizations, or delete organizations and teams directly from your workflows.
Webhook configuration: Set up or remove repository webhooks to automate external integrations and keep your CI/CD pipelines in sync.
Tag and resource cleanup: Direct your agent to delete outdated tags or unused resources, helping you maintain a tidy container registry.
Secure role management: Invite users with specific roles to your organizations, ensuring the right access for collaborators and teams.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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

Karan skipped his own birthday party to fix our critical issue. It was 10pm and he diverted his Waymo to help us instead. This really sets the bar — it shows the commitment you need when users rely on your software.

A lot of students tell us that the moment their connected tools start talking to each other inside Opennote feels almost magical. The agent just knows them, and it's immensely helped keep new users on the platform.

Abhi Arya

Co-founder, Opennote

We chose Composio over Pipedream because it delivered depth where it mattered — niche tools and tricky edge cases other platforms simply ignored. That gave us confidence to scale without compromising.

Nirman Dave

CEO, Zams

As a solo builder, shipping fast is life or death. The only way I can outcompete incumbents is by outmanoeuvring them. Getting bogged down managing agent auth would have been a death sentence.

Ryan Yu

Founder, Extra Thursday

Before Composio, adding tool integrations was slow and resource-intensive. Each one could take weeks of engineering time, and maintaining them meant constantly keeping up with API changes.

With hands-on help from their founder, we integrated Gmail and Google Drive in just 30 minutes. This level of personal support and commitment is exactly what startups should strive for.
