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 Replicate account to Cowork via Composio Connect, enabling it to run Stable Diffusion to generate an image, list all your uploaded files on Replicate, get README documentation for a model, and more such actions on your behalf without compromising your account security.

4. Connect your Replicate account

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

For example, ask Cowork to:

  • "Run Stable Diffusion to generate an image"
  • "List all your uploaded files on Replicate"
  • "Get README documentation for a model"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Replicate MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Replicate account. It provides structured and secure access to your Replicate resources, so your agent can perform actions like running AI model predictions, managing files, browsing model collections, and retrieving model documentation on your behalf.

  • Run and manage AI model predictions: Easily instruct your agent to create, monitor, and manage predictions on any deployed Replicate model using custom input parameters.
  • Browse and discover model collections: Ask your agent to fetch and list available model collections or retrieve example predictions to explore what’s possible on Replicate.
  • Upload and organize files: Let your agent upload new files, list all stored files, or inspect file details to streamline your model workflows.
  • Access model metadata and documentation: Retrieve full model details, schemas, and markdown README docs for any model to help you choose and utilize the right model for your tasks.

FAQ

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

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

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

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