4. Connect your Pingdom account

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

For example, ask Cowork to:

  • "List all uptime checks for your sites"
  • "Show account credit and API usage left"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

That's it. Composio's tools are now available in Cowork, and your Pingdom 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 Pingdom through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent.

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

The Pingdom MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Pingdom account. It provides structured and secure access to your monitoring data, so your agent can perform actions like retrieving uptime checks, managing alerts and contacts, viewing maintenance windows, and running immediate availability tests on your behalf.

  • Comprehensive uptime and check monitoring: Instantly fetch overviews of all your uptime checks, retrieve details for specific checks, and keep tabs on your website and server performance.
  • Alert action and contact management: Ask your agent to list all alerting actions, fetch contacts, or get detailed notification configurations for each contact in your Pingdom account.
  • Maintenance window tracking: Let your agent list and filter scheduled maintenance windows and occurrences, helping you plan downtime and track monitoring exceptions.
  • Immediate single-site checks: Perform real-time availability or performance tests on any host or URL directly from your agent, using specific probes and check types.
  • Reference data and credits insight: Retrieve essential reference lists (like time zones, probes, and contact types) and check your API credit and rate-limit status to stay informed and proactive.

FAQ

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

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

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

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