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

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

The Polygon MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Polygon account. It provides structured and secure access to real-time and historical financial market data, so your agent can retrieve market status, analyze price indicators, track dividends, and monitor crypto and stock tickers on your behalf.

  • Market status and holiday tracking: Instantly check if U.S. exchanges are open or closed and retrieve upcoming market holidays or early closures to plan trading activities.
  • Comprehensive ticker retrieval: Ask your agent to fetch all available ticker symbols across asset classes, including stocks, crypto, forex, and options, filtered by market or exchange.
  • Crypto technical analysis: Have your agent calculate moving averages (EMA, SMA), MACD, and RSI indicators for specific cryptocurrencies to support informed trading decisions.
  • Daily and historical price fetching: Let your agent retrieve daily open/close prices, previous day’s close, or detailed price history for cryptocurrencies and stocks with just a prompt.
  • Dividend data extraction: Effortlessly access up-to-date corporate dividend information for stocks, enabling portfolio reviews and income analysis.
