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 Mapulus account to Cowork via Composio Connect, enabling it to show all maps I have access to, list recent locations added to your account, get details for map with ID 12345, and more such actions on your behalf without compromising your account security.

4. Connect your Mapulus account

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

For example, ask Cowork to:

  • "Show all maps I have access to"
  • "List recent locations added to your account"
  • "Get details for map with ID 12345"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Mapulus MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Mapulus account. It provides structured and secure access to your interactive maps and location data, so your agent can perform actions like listing maps, retrieving map details, finding locations, and analyzing geographic data on your behalf.

  • Comprehensive map listing and discovery: Instruct your agent to list all accessible maps, making it easy to discover and organize your mapping projects.
  • Detailed map metadata retrieval: Ask your agent to fetch in-depth information about any map, including metadata and configuration details, for quick reference or analysis.
  • Location management and exploration: Let your agent enumerate all locations stored in your Mapulus account, supporting location-based workflows and automations.
  • Find locations by external identifiers: Use your agent to quickly match and retrieve location details using external IDs, streamlining integrations with other systems and datasets.

FAQ

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

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

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

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