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

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

The Extracta ai MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Extracta ai account. It provides structured and secure access to your document extraction workflows, so your agent can initiate new extractions, monitor extraction status, retrieve results, and manage extraction processes automatically on your behalf.

  • Automated document data extraction: Instantly trigger new extraction processes on PDFs, images, or text files without manual intervention.
  • Real-time extraction status tracking: Let your agent check the progress, view details, and fetch results from any ongoing or completed extraction.
  • Seamless extraction management: Effortlessly delete or clean up extraction jobs after completion or if no longer needed, keeping your workspace organized.
  • End-to-end workflow orchestration: Combine extraction initiation, monitoring, and cleanup into a single automated pipeline for maximum efficiency.

FAQ

What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Extracta ai MCP?

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

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

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