How to connect Gemini to Claude Cowork

Cowork is Anthropic's AI agent for knowledge work. Think of it as Claude Code for everything else. It works autonomously with your computer, local files, and applications to accomplish complex tasks.

This guide walks you through the easiest and most secure way to connect your Gemini account to Cowork via Composio Connect, enabling it to summarize this research article in 100 words, generate a creative image of a futuristic city, create a 30-second video based on this script, and more such actions on your behalf without compromising your account security.

Connecting Gemini to Claude Cowork

1. Open Customize

In Claude Desktop, click Customize in the left sidebar, then select Connectors and click the + icon at the top.

2. Add the Composio MCP server

Click Add custom connector and paste in the Composio MCP server URL:

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

The Gemini MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Gemini account. It provides structured and secure access to Gemini's multimodal AI features, so your agent can generate text, images, and videos, analyze content, and manage model resources on your behalf.

• Text and content generation: Instruct your agent to create high-quality, customized text using Gemini's advanced generative models—great for brainstorming, drafting, or summarizing information.
• Creative image and video generation: Ask the agent to generate original images or high-quality videos from text prompts using Gemini 2.5 Flash and Veo models, with fine control over style and format.
• Embedding and semantic analysis: Let your agent transform any text into rich semantic embeddings for similarity search, clustering, or classification tasks.
• Model discovery and optimization: Have the agent list available Gemini and Veo models, check their capabilities, and select the best fit for your project or workflow.
• Efficient resource management: Enable the agent to track video generation operations, download final assets, and optimize prompt inputs by counting tokens—all without manual intervention.
