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

The Mem MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Mem account. It provides structured and secure access to your notes and collections, so your agent can perform actions like creating notes, organizing collections, retrieving note content, and deleting outdated information on your behalf.

• Automated note creation: Ask your agent to quickly capture ideas, meeting summaries, or research notes and save them directly into your Mem workspace.
• Organize with collections: Direct your agent to group related notes by creating new collections for projects, topics, or teams, keeping your knowledge base tidy and efficient.
• Retrieve and review notes: Let your agent fetch the content and metadata of any note by its identifier, making it easy to reference or summarize past information.
• Cleanup and delete notes or collections: Instruct your agent to remove outdated notes or entire collections for a clutter-free knowledge base.
