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

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

The Paradym MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Paradym account. It provides structured and secure access to your verifiable credential workflows, so your agent can perform actions like issuing credentials, verifying identity claims, managing credential lifecycles, and supporting interoperability across digital identity standards.

  • Automated credential issuance: Instruct your agent to issue new verifiable credentials to users or systems, supporting protocols like SD-JWT VCs and AnonCreds.
  • Seamless credential verification: Enable your agent to verify the authenticity and validity of credentials presented by others, streamlining onboarding and trust checks.
  • Credential lifecycle management: Allow your agent to update, revoke, or renew existing credentials, ensuring full control over your digital identity assets.
  • Interoperability with identity standards: Leverage your agent to work across OpenID4VC, DIDComm, and other standards for maximum compatibility and flexibility.
  • Audit and usage tracking: Task your agent to retrieve detailed logs or status reports on credential activity, helping you maintain compliance and visibility.

FAQ

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

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

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

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