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

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

The Flutterwave MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Flutterwave account. It provides structured and secure access to your payment infrastructure, so your agent can perform actions like creating payment links, managing beneficiaries, setting up virtual accounts, and handling subaccounts on your behalf.

  • Instant payment link creation: Let your agent generate hosted payment URLs for one-time or recurring transactions, making it easy to collect payments from customers.
  • Beneficiary management: Add, fetch, or remove transfer beneficiaries directly through your agent, streamlining the process of managing who receives your payouts.
  • Virtual account generation: Automatically create single or bulk virtual bank accounts for customers, enabling seamless and trackable bank transfers.
  • Subaccount setup and retrieval: Have your agent create, configure, or fetch subaccounts to manage split payments and disbursements for complex business needs.
  • Payment link control: Disable active payment links when necessary to prevent further transactions, ensuring you stay in control of your payment flows.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

With a standalone Flutterwave MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Flutterwave tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Flutterwave and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

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 Flutterwave tools.

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Flutterwave 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.

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 Flutterwave data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
