4. Connect your New relic account

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

For example, ask Cowork to:

  • "List all alert policies for your account"
  • "Create a new webhook alert channel"
  • "Get all applications monitored in New Relic"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The New Relic MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your New Relic account. It provides structured and secure access to your observability data and alerting infrastructure, so your agent can perform actions like retrieving application metrics, managing alert policies, updating notification channels, and monitoring browser applications on your behalf.

  • Comprehensive alert policy management: Effortlessly create, update, or delete New Relic alert policies to keep your monitoring rules current and effective.
  • Alert notification channel control: Register new alert endpoints, update existing channels, or list all notification channels to optimize how your team receives important alerts.
  • Real-time application monitoring: Instantly retrieve a list of all monitored applications, filter them by name or host, and stay on top of your software stack’s health.
  • Browser application insights: List and filter browser applications to monitor user experience and catch frontend issues before they escalate.
  • Alert condition visibility: Fetch detailed alert conditions for specific policies, so you can audit or fine-tune how your system responds to incidents.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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