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 Pilvio account to Cowork via Composio Connect, enabling it to start a new virtual machine with Ubuntu, list all active virtual machines in your account, resize an existing VM to a larger instance, and more such actions on your behalf without compromising your account security.

4. Connect your Pilvio account

Back in Cowork, ask the agent to connect to Pilvio or give it any Pilvio-related task.

For example, ask Cowork to:

  • "Start a new virtual machine with Ubuntu"
  • "List all active virtual machines in your account"
  • "Resize an existing VM to a larger instance"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

That's it. Composio's tools are now available in Cowork, and your Pilvio account is ready to use.

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

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

The Pilvio MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Pilvio account. It provides structured and secure access to your cloud resources, so your agent can perform actions like provisioning virtual machines, managing object storage, automating infrastructure, and monitoring your resources on your behalf.

  • Dynamic virtual machine management: Instantly create, start, stop, or delete virtual machines so your cloud infrastructure adapts to your needs on demand.
  • Automated object storage operations: Let your agent upload, download, list, or delete files and buckets for seamless data management in your object storage.
  • Infrastructure status monitoring: Query resource states and usage metrics so your agent keeps you informed about cloud health and performance.
  • Resource provisioning and automation: Enable your agent to quickly provision new resources, allocate storage, or adjust configurations—without manual intervention.
  • Security and access control: Manage API keys, permissions, and access policies to keep your cloud environment secure and compliant.

FAQ

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

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

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

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