## 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 Segment account to Cowork via Composio Connect, enabling it to fetch daily API usage for each source, add metadata labels to a specific source, identify a user and update their traits, and more such actions on your behalf without compromising your account security.

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

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

The Segment MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Segment account. It provides structured and secure access to your customer data platform, so your agent can perform actions like identifying users, tracking analytics events, managing sources and destinations, and monitoring API usage on your behalf.
- User identification and trait management: Your agent can identify users, set or update their traits, and manage user profiles using Segment's Identify and Group tools.
- Analytics event tracking and batching: Effortlessly track individual or batched analytics events, enabling automated insights and seamless event monitoring across platforms.
- Source and destination administration: Let your agent add labels to sources, delete sources, retrieve detailed destination configurations, and list warehouses connected to a source.
- Alias and merge user identities: Merge anonymous and known identities by aliasing user IDs for more accurate customer journeys and unified profiles.
- Usage monitoring and delivery metrics: Fetch daily API call usage per source and view delivery metrics summaries for destinations to keep tabs on system health and integration performance.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `SEGMENT_ADD_LABELS_TO_SOURCE` | Add Labels to Source | Tool to add existing labels to a Source. Use when you have the source ID and want to tag it with metadata labels. |
| `SEGMENT_ALIAS` | Segment Alias | Tool to alias a previous user ID to a new user ID. Use when merging anonymous and known identities. |
| `SEGMENT_BATCH` | Batch Segment Analytics Events | Tool to send multiple analytics calls in a single batch request. Use when you want to reduce HTTP overhead by batching Identify/Track/Page/Screen/Group calls into one request. |
| `SEGMENT_DELETE_SOURCE` | Delete Source | Tool to delete a Segment Source. Use when you need to permanently remove a Source by its ID after confirmation. |
| `SEGMENT_GET_DAILY_PER_SOURCE_API_CALLS_USAGE` | Get Daily Per Source API Calls Usage | Tool to fetch daily API call counts per source for a given period. Use when you need daily breakdown of API usage by source after determining the reporting period. |
| `SEGMENT_GET_DESTINATION` | Get Destination | Tool to retrieve a Destination by ID. Use when you need to fetch the full configuration of a Segment Destination instance by its unique identifier. Falls back US→EU public API and legacy app endpoint; returns minimal envelope on legacy HTML or parse errors. |
| `SEGMENT_GROUP` | Segment Group | Tool to associate an identified user with a group via Segment HTTP Tracking API. Use when grouping users with traits. |
| `SEGMENT_IDENTIFY` | Segment Identify | Tool to identify a user and set/update traits via Segment HTTP Tracking API. |
| `SEGMENT_IMPORT_HISTORICAL_DATA` | Import Historical Data | Tool to import historical data in bulk with support for historical timestamps. Use when you need to backfill or import past events with their original timestamps into Segment. |

## Frequently Asked Questions

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

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

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

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