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 Kraken io account to Cowork via Composio Connect, enabling it to compress this product image from its URL, check your Kraken.io API quota usage, optimize image while keeping all EXIF data, and more such actions on your behalf without compromising your account security.

4. Connect your Kraken io account

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

For example, ask Cowork to:

  • "Compress this product image from its URL"
  • "Check your Kraken.io API quota usage"
  • "Optimize image while keeping all EXIF data"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Kraken io MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Kraken io account. It provides structured and secure access to your image optimization tools, so your agent can automatically compress images, resize or convert files, monitor account usage, and test optimizations without consuming real credits.

  • Real-time image optimization by URL: Instantly compress, resize, or convert images hosted on public URLs—perfect for streamlining website performance or social media workflows.
  • Quota and account status monitoring: Let your agent check your Kraken.io plan limits, remaining quota, and current account status before processing images, so you never hit a surprise limit.
  • Metadata preservation during compression: Instruct your agent to optimize images while keeping essential EXIF and metadata intact, making sure important information stays with your files.
  • Sandbox image upload and testing: Safely upload and optimize images in sandbox mode, allowing you to test settings and workflows without using up your actual credits.

FAQ

What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Kraken io MCP?

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

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

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