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

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

The Elorus MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Elorus account. It provides structured and secure access to your invoicing, billing, and time-tracking tools, so your agent can perform actions like creating invoices, managing contacts, tracking estimates, and sending billing communications on your behalf.

  • Automated invoice creation and delivery: Instruct your agent to generate new invoices, fill in all necessary details, and instantly email them to clients or contacts with just a prompt.
  • Comprehensive contact management: Ask your agent to fetch, list, and organize your business contacts, so you can easily keep your client database up to date or find specific clients in seconds.
  • Dynamic bills and expenses tracking: Let your agent retrieve and manage lists of bills and expenses, helping you stay on top of accounts payable and overall financial health.
  • Flexible product and service catalog management: Direct your agent to create new products or services, update details, or fetch lists of items for invoicing and inventory purposes.
  • Estimates and credit notes retrieval: Have your agent pull up estimates or credit notes with filters for date, contact, or status—ideal for monitoring ongoing deals and financial adjustments.

FAQ

What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Elorus MCP?

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

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

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