4. Connect your Placekey account

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

For example, ask Cowork to:

  • "Find placekey for this street address"
  • "Get latitude and longitude from an address"
  • "Convert GPS coordinates to a placekey"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Placekey MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Placekey account. It provides structured and secure access to location standardization tools, so your agent can perform actions like converting addresses to Placekeys, retrieving geocodes, and mapping locations on your behalf.

  • Address to Placekey conversion: Instantly convert any physical address into a unique Placekey identifier for seamless data matching and enrichment.
  • Geocode retrieval from address: Have your agent fetch latitude, longitude, and full geocode details for any address, complete with Placekey and location info.
  • Placekey generation from coordinates: Quickly generate a Placekey for any geographic coordinates, making it easy to standardize and deduplicate location data.
  • Location deduplication and validation: Let your agent use Placekeys to match, validate, and deduplicate different representations of the same physical place across your datasets.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

With a standalone Placekey MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Placekey tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Placekey and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

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 Placekey tools.

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Placekey 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.

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 Placekey data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
