## 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 Lexoffice account to Cowork via Composio Connect, enabling it to generate and send new client invoices, summarize monthly expense reports, list overdue payments from customers, and more such actions on your behalf without compromising your account security.

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

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

The Lexoffice MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Lexoffice account. It provides structured and secure access to your Lexoffice workspace, so your agent can perform actions like managing invoices, tracking expenses, syncing with bank accounts, and handling client records on your behalf.
- Invoice creation and management: Effortlessly generate, send, and track invoices, helping you streamline your billing process.
- Expense tracking and categorization: Let your agent log and classify expenses, making it easy to stay on top of your business spending.
- Bank integration and reconciliation: Automatically sync transactions with your connected bank accounts for simplified reconciliation and financial oversight.
- Client and contact management: Manage your customer database, update records, and keep client information organized and up to date.
- Financial reporting and insights: Generate detailed reports on your business’s financial health, including revenue, expenses, and outstanding balances.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Lexoffice MCP?

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

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

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