## 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 Parsio.io account to Cowork via Composio Connect, enabling it to extract contact names from attached PDFs, export all order numbers from this week's emails, summarize shipping details from unread invoices, 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 Parsio.io through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent.

## What is the Parsio.io MCP server, and what's possible with it?

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

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Parsio.io MCP?

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

### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Parsio.io while using Tool Router?

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