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 Prisma account to Cowork via Composio Connect, enabling it to create a new Postgres database in your project, run a SQL query to list all users, delete a database connection by name, and more such actions on your behalf without compromising your account security.

4. Connect your Prisma account

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

For example, ask Cowork to:

  • "Create a new Postgres database in your project"
  • "Run a SQL query to list all users"
  • "Delete a database connection by name"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Prisma MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Prisma account. It provides structured and secure access to your database management, so your agent can perform actions like creating projects, managing databases, executing SQL queries, and handling API keys on your behalf.

  • Automated project and database provisioning: Instantly create new Prisma projects and managed PostgreSQL databases in your workspace, complete with connection strings and API keys for fast onboarding.
  • On-demand SQL execution and analysis: Have your agent run SQL commands or select queries for reporting, data inspection, or schema changes—without manual intervention.
  • API key and connection management: Programmatically generate, rotate, or revoke database API keys, ensuring secure and controlled access for all your applications.
  • Workspace and resource monitoring: Retrieve detailed information about your workspaces, projects, and databases, allowing your agent to validate deployments or monitor status in real time.
  • Safe resource cleanup and deletion: Direct your agent to delete databases, projects, or specific connections—helping you maintain a tidy, secure, and cost-effective data platform.

FAQ

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

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

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

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