## 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 Planly account to Cowork via Composio Connect, enabling it to schedule a Facebook post for tomorrow morning, get analytics for last week's Instagram posts, list all scheduled content for this month, and more such actions on your behalf without compromising your account security.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Planly MCP?

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

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

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