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

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

The Gamma MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Gamma account. It provides structured and secure access to Gamma’s AI-powered content creation platform, so your agent can generate new presentations, monitor generation progress, and retrieve finished files on your behalf.

  • AI-driven presentation generation: Instantly create beautiful, interactive decks or documents through simple prompts, letting your agent handle the heavy lifting.
  • Automated content creation: Ask your agent to produce engaging summaries, reports, or educational material as shareable Gamma presentations.
  • Real-time generation status tracking: Have your agent monitor the progress of each presentation request and keep you updated on completion status.
  • Direct retrieval of generated files: Let your agent fetch download URLs for finished Gamma files, making it easy to share or embed them anywhere.

FAQ

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

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

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

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