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

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

The Everhour MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Everhour account. It provides structured and secure access to your time tracking, client, and expense data, so your agent can perform actions like listing clients, retrieving expenses, managing projects, and fetching user profiles on your behalf.

  • Comprehensive client management: Ask your agent to list, create, or delete clients to keep your workspace organized and up-to-date.
  • Expense tracking and review: Effortlessly retrieve all expenses or list available expense categories to monitor spending and streamline expense management.
  • Project and section insights: Have your agent fetch detailed information about specific projects or sections using their IDs for better resource planning.
  • Personalized user profile access: Enable your agent to fetch the authenticated user's profile for quick access to account details and preferences.
  • Webhook configuration overview: List all configured webhooks to monitor integrations and automate notifications within your Everhour environment.

How to build Everhour MCP Agent with another framework

FAQ

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

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

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

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