4. Connect your Globalping account

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

For example, ask Cowork to:

  • "Ping google.com from Paris and Tokyo"
  • "Run traceroute to your server from Brazil"
  • "List all active probes in India"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

That's it. Composio's tools are now available in Cowork, and your Globalping 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 Globalping through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent.

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

The Globalping MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Globalping account. It provides structured and secure access to global network testing infrastructure, so your agent can perform actions like launching pings, running traceroutes, resolving DNS, and monitoring network health from locations worldwide.

  • On-demand network measurements: Have your agent initiate pings, traceroutes, or DNS lookups from specific global probes to test connectivity or diagnose issues.
  • Fetch real-time test results: Retrieve detailed per-probe measurement results, including latency, hops, and DNS answers, for network troubleshooting and analysis.
  • Probe discovery and selection: List and filter all available online probes by location or network, enabling targeted testing from anywhere in the world.
  • Automated health checks: Validate Globalping API health and availability to ensure reliable automation before running critical network tests.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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