It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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