How to connect Pilvio to Claude Cowork

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.

Connecting Pilvio to Claude Cowork

1. Open Customize

In Claude Desktop, click Customize in the left sidebar, then select Connectors and click the + icon at the top.

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.

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.
