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 Pdf4me through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent.

What is the Pdf4me MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Pdf4me MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Pdf4me account. It provides structured and secure access to document conversion, letting your agent automate tasks like transforming files, generating PDFs, and preparing documents for further processing—all without manual intervention.

  • Seamless document-to-PDF conversion: Instantly convert a wide variety of document and image formats to high-quality PDFs using natural language commands.
  • Batch processing automation: Let your agent handle multiple file conversions at once, streamlining workflows for reports, forms, and scanned images.
  • Workflow integration: Enable your agent to convert documents to PDF as part of larger automation chains, making it easy to prep files for storage, sharing, or e-signatures.
  • Base64 file transformation: Accept base64-encoded files from other sources and have your agent convert them to PDFs, ready for further use or archiving.

FAQ

What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Pdf4me MCP?

With a standalone Pdf4me MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Pdf4me tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Pdf4me 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 Pdf4me tools.

Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Pdf4me while using Tool Router?

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Pdf4me 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 Pdf4me data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
