## 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 Parseur account to Cowork via Composio Connect, enabling it to list all documents in your invoices mailbox, create a webhook to send parsed receipts, pause the outgoing webhook for orders mailbox, and more such actions on your behalf without compromising your account security.

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

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

The Parseur MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Parseur account. It provides structured and secure access to your Parseur data extraction workflows, so your agent can perform actions like managing mailboxes, handling documents, configuring webhooks, and automating template operations on your behalf.
- Mailbox management and discovery: Let your agent list, browse, and filter all Parseur mailboxes to keep tabs on your parsing operations and document streams.
- Document listing and retrieval: Effortlessly fetch documents from specific mailboxes, enabling automated sorting, searching, or pagination of your parsed files.
- Template and parsing rule automation: Ask your agent to list templates within any mailbox, so you can quickly inspect or update parsing rules as your data extraction needs evolve.
- Webhook configuration and control: Enable your agent to create, update, pause, enable, or delete webhooks, making it easy to automate real-time data delivery to your other systems.
- Comprehensive webhook inspection: Retrieve detailed webhook information or list all webhooks for a mailbox, ensuring you always know how and where your parsed data is flowing.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Parseur MCP?

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

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

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