4. Connect your Hookdeck account

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

For example, ask Cowork to:

  • "Retry all failed webhook events from today"

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

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

The Hookdeck MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Hookdeck account. It provides structured and secure access to your webhook management platform, so your agent can perform actions like routing webhooks, managing events, configuring sources and destinations, and automating retries or cancellations on your behalf.

  • Automated event management: Let your agent bulk cancel or retry multiple webhook events, keeping your pipeline clean and efficient without manual intervention.
  • Source and destination setup: Have the agent create, configure, and manage Hookdeck sources and destinations for seamless webhook routing between services.
  • Connection orchestration: Direct your agent to establish new connections between sources and destinations, ensuring events flow exactly where you want them to go.
  • Payload transformation: Empower the agent to create custom payload transformations using JavaScript, modifying webhook data before it reaches your endpoints.
  • Bookmarking and cleanup: Ask your agent to bookmark important events for quick access or delete outdated bookmarks to keep your workspace organized.

How to build Hookdeck MCP Agent with another framework

FAQ

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

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

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

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