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 Google Admin through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent. ## What is the Google Admin MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Google Admin MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Google Admin account. It provides structured and secure access to your organization's Google Workspace admin console, so your agent can manage users, groups, aliases, and organizational units on your behalf. - Automated user management: Easily create, update, or delete Google Workspace user accounts, letting your agent handle onboarding, offboarding, and user details with precision. - Group administration and membership control: Have your agent create groups, list all group members, add or remove users from groups, and fetch group details to streamline team management. - Email alias assignment: Direct your agent to add email aliases to user accounts, simplifying communication and identity management for your organization. - Comprehensive user and group directory access: Ask your agent to list all users or groups in your domain, filter them as needed, and retrieve detailed information to support audits or directory syncs. - Secure and efficient admin operations: Let your agent perform sensitive admin actions like deleting users or managing group settings—always with proper access controls and auditability. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `GOOGLE_ADMIN_ADD_USER_ALIAS` | Add Alias to Google Workspace User | Adds an email alias to a Google Workspace user. | | `GOOGLE_ADMIN_ADD_USER_TO_GROUP` | Add User to Google Workspace Group | Adds a user to a Google Workspace group with the specified role. | | `GOOGLE_ADMIN_CREATE_GROUP` | Create Google Workspace Group | Creates a new Google Workspace group with the specified details. | | `GOOGLE_ADMIN_CREATE_USER` | Create Google Workspace User | Creates a new Google Workspace user with the specified details.

With a standalone Google Admin MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Google Admin tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Google Admin 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 Google Admin tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Google Admin while using Tool Router? Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Google Admin 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 Google Admin data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
