Introduction

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 Geoapify account to Cowork via Composio Connect, enabling it to find latitude and longitude for an address, suggest address completions as I type, show reachable area within 10 minutes driving, and more such actions on your behalf without compromising your account security.

Also integrate Geoapify with

Connecting Geoapify 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:

bash
https://connect.composio.dev/mcp
Add custom connector dialog with Composio MCP server URL

3. Authorize in your browser

Click Connect. You'll be redirected to a browser window where you can authorize Composio to continue.

4. Connect your Geoapify account

Back in Cowork, ask the agent to connect to Geoapify or give it any Geoapify-related task.

For example, ask Cowork to:

  • "Find latitude and longitude for an address"
  • "Suggest address completions as I type"
  • "Show reachable area within 10 minutes driving"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

That's it. Composio's tools are now available in Cowork, and your Geoapify account is ready to use.

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

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

The Geoapify MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Geoapify account. It provides structured and secure access to powerful location-based services, so your agent can perform actions like geocoding addresses, generating routes, fetching map tiles, and analyzing geographic data on your behalf.

  • Address autocomplete and geocoding: Instantly convert partial or full addresses into geographic coordinates, or fetch smart suggestions to speed up location entry.
  • Routing and reachability analysis: Generate routes, calculate reachable areas (isochrones/isodistances), and let your agent determine how far you can travel from a point within a set time or distance.
  • IP-based geolocation: Look up the approximate location of any IP address to enrich user data, personalize experiences, or detect regions automatically.
  • Map visualization and customization: Fetch custom-styled map tiles and create personalized marker icons for fully tailored map displays in your applications or reports.
  • Boundary and geometry operations: Retrieve administrative boundaries for any place or coordinate, and perform advanced geometric operations like combining or intersecting polygons to analyze spatial relationships.

How to build Geoapify MCP Agent with another framework

FAQ

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

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

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

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