4. Connect your Netlify account

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

For example, ask Cowork to:

  • "Deploy site from your Git branch"
  • "List recent deploy logs for site"
  • "Create environment variable for site"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Netlify MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Netlify account. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Netlify operations on your behalf.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

With a standalone Netlify MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Netlify tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Netlify and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

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 Netlify tools.

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Netlify 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.

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 Netlify data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
