## 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 Docuseal account to Cowork via Composio Connect, enabling it to list all document templates in your account, create a new template from HTML content, start a signature workflow from a PDF file, and more such actions on your behalf without compromising your account security.

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

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

The Docuseal MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Docuseal account. It provides structured and secure access to your eSignature workflows, so your agent can manage templates, automate document submissions, handle submitters, and streamline template operations for you.
- Seamless template management: Effortlessly list, retrieve, update, archive, clone, or merge document templates, making it easy to organize and reuse signature documents.
- Automated submission workflows: Instantly create new submissions from uploaded PDFs, initiate signature processes, and keep tabs on all current and past document submissions.
- Direct HTML-to-template creation: Enable your agent to generate reusable document templates straight from HTML content—no manual web interface required.
- Submitter roster management: Retrieve comprehensive lists of all document submitters for reporting, tracking, or management purposes with a single request.
- Template merging and duplication: Combine multiple templates into a single document or duplicate templates to accelerate document preparation for recurring workflows.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `DOCUSEAL_ARCHIVE_SUBMISSION` | Archive Submission | Tool to archive a submission by its unique identifier. Archived submissions are not permanently deleted and can be restored. |
| `DOCUSEAL_ARCHIVE_TEMPLATE` | Archive Template | Tool to archive a specific template by its unique identifier. Use after verifying the template ID. |
| `DOCUSEAL_CLONE_TEMPLATE2` | Clone Template (v2) | Tool to clone an existing template into a new template with optional custom name, folder, and external_id. Use when you need to duplicate a template with specific customization options. |
| `DOCUSEAL_CREATE_SUBMISSION` | Create Submission | Tool to create signature requests (submissions) from an existing document template and send them to submitters. Use this when you have a pre-configured template and want to send it for signing to one or more parties. Supports email and SMS notifications, custom messages, field pre-filling, and sequential or simultaneous signing workflows. |
| `DOCUSEAL_CREATE_SUBMISSION_FROM_DOCX` | Create Submission From DOCX | Tool to create a one-off submission (signature request) from a DOCX document with dynamic content variables. Use [[variable_name]] text tags in the DOCX to define dynamic content variables and {{Field Name;role=Signer1;type=date}} text tags to define fillable fields. This allows you to generate personalized documents with pre-filled content and signature fields extracted from the DOCX file. |
| `DOCUSEAL_CREATE_SUBMISSION_FROM_HTML` | Create Submission From HTML | Tool to create a one-off submission request from HTML content with embedded field tags rendered as a fillable and signable form. Use this when you want to create a signature request directly from HTML without first creating a reusable template. Field tags in HTML (like {{field_name}} or ) will be automatically converted to fillable form fields. |
| `DOCUSEAL_CREATE_SUBMISSION_FROM_PDF` | Create Submission From PDF | Tool to create a one-off submission (signature request) from a PDF file. Use this to upload a PDF document and send it for electronic signature without creating a reusable template first. You can define signature fields and other form fields either by using text tags in the PDF (e.g., {{Signature;role=First Party;type=signature}}) or by specifying field coordinates in the request. |
| `DOCUSEAL_CREATE_SUBMISSIONS_FROM_EMAILS` | Create Submissions From Emails | Tool to create submissions for a document template and send them to specified email addresses. Use this for simplified submission creation with Zapier or other automation tools. Each email address will receive a unique submission link. |
| `DOCUSEAL_CREATE_TEMPLATE_FROM_DOCX` | Create Template from DOCX | Tool to create a fillable document template from a Microsoft Word DOCX file. Use when you need to convert a DOCX document with field tags into a template. |
| `DOCUSEAL_CREATE_TEMPLATE_FROM_HTML` | Create Template from HTML | Tool to create a fillable document template from HTML content with pre-defined fields. Use when you need to create a template directly from HTML with custom field tags for text, signatures, dates, and other fillable elements. |
| `DOCUSEAL_CREATE_TEMPLATE_FROM_PDF` | Create Template From PDF | Tool to create a fillable document template from a PDF file. Use when you need to create a reusable template from a PDF. Fields can be defined using {{Field Name;role=Signer1;type=date}} text tags in the PDF or by specifying pixel coordinates. |
| `DOCUSEAL_GET_SUBMISSION` | Get Submission | Tool to retrieve detailed information about a specific submission. Use when you need to fetch complete submission details including submitters, documents, status, template, events, and metadata. |
| `DOCUSEAL_GET_SUBMISSION_DOCUMENTS` | Get Submission Documents | Tool to retrieve documents for a submission. Returns partially filled documents if the submission is in progress, or final signed documents if completed. Use when you need to download submission documents. |
| `DOCUSEAL_GET_SUBMITTER` | Get Submitter | Tool to retrieve detailed information about a submitter by ID. Use when you need to fetch submitter details including documents, field values filled by the signer, submission events, and status. |
| `DOCUSEAL_GET_TEMPLATE` | Get Template | Tool to retrieve details of a specific template by its unique identifier. Use when you need to fetch template metadata by ID. |
| `DOCUSEAL_LIST_SUBMISSIONS` | List Submissions | List document submissions with filtering and cursor-based pagination. Use to retrieve, search, and browse existing submissions by template, status, or submitter details. Supports searching by submitter name, email, or phone. |
| `DOCUSEAL_LIST_SUBMITTERS` | List Submitters | Retrieve a paginated list of submitters with optional filtering. Use this tool to: - List all submitters across all submissions - Filter submitters by submission, status dates, or search query - Paginate through large result sets using 'after' and 'before' cursors Examples: - List all submitters: {} - Filter by submission: {"submission_id": 12345} - Search by email: {"q": "john@example.com"} - Get completed submitters in a date range: {"completed_after": "2024-01-01T00:00:00Z", "completed_before": "2024-12-31T23:59:59Z"} - Paginate results: {"limit": 50, "after": 3567000} |

## Frequently Asked Questions

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

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

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

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