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 Route4me account to Cowork via Composio Connect, enabling it to list all available delivery vehicles today, mark stop 12 on route 8 as completed, show vehicles with capacity over 1000 lbs, and more such actions on your behalf without compromising your account security.

4. Connect your Route4me account

Back in Cowork, ask the agent to connect to Route4me or give it any Route4me-related task.

For example, ask Cowork to:

  • "List all available delivery vehicles today"
  • "Mark stop 12 on route 8 as completed"
  • "Show vehicles with capacity over 1000 lbs"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

That's it. Composio's tools are now available in Cowork, and your Route4me 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 Route4me through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent.

What is the Route4me MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Route4me MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Route4me account. It provides structured and secure access to your fleet and route data, so your agent can perform actions like listing vehicles, retrieving asset details, updating destination statuses, and streamlining last-mile logistics on your behalf.

  • Full vehicle inventory retrieval: Instantly ask your agent to pull a complete list of all vehicles in your organization for planning and operational audits.
  • Vehicle data access for route planning: Get detailed information on each vehicle—including capacity and assignment details—to optimize delivery routes.
  • Automated destination status updates: Let your agent mark destinations as completed, skipped, or failed after deliveries or stops, keeping your records accurate in real time.
  • Streamlined delivery confirmation workflows: Have your agent confirm delivery outcomes automatically, ensuring your route progress is always up to date for dispatchers and drivers.

How to build Route4me MCP Agent with another framework

FAQ

What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Route4me MCP?

With a standalone Route4me MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Route4me tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Route4me 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 Route4me tools.

Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Route4me while using Tool Router?

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Route4me 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 Route4me data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
