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

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

The Piloterr MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Piloterr account. It provides structured and secure access to a suite of powerful web data extraction APIs, so your agent can perform actions like searching products, retrieving detailed product info, and monitoring account usage on your behalf.

  • Product search on retail platforms: Direct your agent to search for products on sites like Auchan or Bestbuy by keyword, category, or filters, and receive curated product listings.
  • Retrieve detailed product information: Ask your agent to fetch comprehensive product details—including company info—using specific product IDs from supported platforms.
  • Monitor account usage and credits: Let your agent check your Piloterr account usage and remaining credits, so you always know how much data access you have left.
  • Automated product data workflows: Enable your agent to seamlessly combine product search and retrieval, powering advanced e-commerce, analytics, or market research tasks.
  • Multi-platform product integration: Effortlessly access and aggregate product data from multiple online stores to inform business decisions or drive automation.

FAQ

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

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

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

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