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 Ip2whois account to Cowork via Composio Connect, enabling it to get WHOIS info for example.com, find domains hosted on 8.8.8.8, check domain expiration date for mysite.org, and more such actions on your behalf without compromising your account security.

4. Connect your Ip2whois account

Back in Cowork, ask the agent to connect to Ip2whois or give it any Ip2whois-related task.

For example, ask Cowork to:

  • "Get WHOIS info for example.com"
  • "Find domains hosted on 8.8.8.8"

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 Ip2whois through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent.

What is the Ip2whois MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Ip2whois MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Ip2whois account. It provides structured and secure access to domain and IP WHOIS data, so your agent can perform actions like retrieving domain registration info, checking domain ages, viewing registrant contacts, and discovering domains hosted on specific IPs.

  • Comprehensive domain WHOIS lookup: Instantly fetch key details about any domain, including creation and expiration dates, registrar information, and domain age.
  • Registrant contact information retrieval: Let your agent pull up contact info for domain owners, admins, and technical contacts as needed.
  • Nameserver and DNS data access: Easily get the nameservers associated with a domain for network or security audits.
  • Hosted domains discovery by IP: Find all domains currently hosted on a particular IP address, helping with investigation or infrastructure mapping.

FAQ

What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Ip2whois MCP?

With a standalone Ip2whois MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Ip2whois tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Ip2whois 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 Ip2whois tools.

Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Ip2whois while using Tool Router?

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Ip2whois 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 Ip2whois data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
