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

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

The Share point MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your SharePoint account. It provides structured and secure access to your SharePoint sites, so your agent can create folders, manage lists, handle users, and organize your team's content with ease.

  • Automated folder creation and organization: Instruct your agent to create new folders in SharePoint to keep your documents neatly organized by project, department, or workflow.
  • List and item management: Let your agent create new SharePoint lists for tracking tasks, issues, or inventory, and add items to lists automatically as your needs evolve.
  • User provisioning and access control: Quickly create new SharePoint users or remove existing ones, helping you manage team access and collaboration securely and efficiently.
  • User lookup and verification: Have your agent search for users across Microsoft Graph and SharePoint to confirm their existence and check their status in your organization.

FAQ

What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Share point MCP?

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

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

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