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

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

The Perigon MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Perigon account. It provides structured and secure access to real-time news and web content data, so your agent can perform actions like searching news articles, aggregating trending stories, extracting web data, and analyzing news sentiment on your behalf.

  • Comprehensive news article search: Empower your agent to search and retrieve news articles from global sources using filters like date, topic, publisher, or region.
  • Real-time trending stories aggregation: Automatically gather and summarize the latest trending news across categories such as politics, technology, finance, and more.
  • Web content extraction: Let your agent pull structured data from online articles and websites, making it easy to analyze or repurpose content.
  • News sentiment and topic analysis: Enable your agent to analyze the sentiment and topical coverage of news stories to provide actionable insights or reports.
  • Customized news monitoring: Set up continuous monitoring for specific keywords, companies, or industries, so your agent can keep you updated with relevant news as it happens.

FAQ

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

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

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

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