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

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

The Firecrawl MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Firecrawl account. It provides structured and secure access to automated web crawling, scraping, and data extraction, so your agent can perform actions like indexing sites, extracting structured content, mapping URLs, and searching the web on your behalf.

  • Automated web crawling and indexing: Let your agent launch and manage web crawl jobs to gather content or index entire websites efficiently.
  • Structured data extraction: Instruct your agent to extract targeted data from web pages using custom prompts or schemas, turning unstructured sites into actionable information.
  • URL mapping and discovery: Have the agent explore and map all URLs within a website, including options for subdomain inclusion, sitemap processing, or search-based discovery.
  • On-demand scraping and content retrieval: Enable your agent to scrape specific URLs, retrieve page content, and even extract structured JSON using LLM-powered methods.
  • Integrated web search and data collection: Task your agent with running web searches, scraping top result pages, and returning relevant details—all in one workflow.

Supported Tools & Triggers

Tools
Cancel a crawl jobCancels an active or queued web crawl job using its id; attempting to cancel completed, failed, or previously canceled jobs will not change their state.
Start a web crawlInitiates a firecrawl web crawl from a given url, applying various filtering and content extraction rules, and polls until the job is complete; ensure the url is accessible and any regex patterns for paths are valid.
Extract structured dataExtracts structured data from web pages by initiating an extraction job and polling for completion; requires a natural language `prompt` or a json `schema` (one must be provided).
Get the status of a crawl jobRetrieves the current status, progress, and details of a web crawl job, using the job id obtained when the crawl was initiated.
Map multiple URLsMaps a website by discovering urls from a starting base url, with options to customize the crawl via search query, subdomain inclusion, sitemap handling, and result limits; search effectiveness is site-dependent.
Scrape URLScrapes a publicly accessible url, optionally performing pre-scrape browser actions or extracting structured json using an llm, to retrieve content in specified formats.
SearchPerforms a web search for a query, scrapes content from the top search results using firecrawl, and returns details in specified formats.

Available tools and triggers

After setup, the supported Firecrawl tools and triggers listed on this page are available to Cowork through Composio Connect.

You can now ask Cowork to handle Firecrawl workflows in natural language, from quick summaries and drafting tasks to more complex multi-step work across connected apps.

FAQ

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

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

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

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