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.

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

The Simple analytics MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Simple Analytics account. It provides structured and secure access to privacy-friendly analytics data, so your agent can perform actions like retrieving website stats, exporting raw data, and listing all your tracked websites with ease.

  • List all connected websites: Quickly get a comprehensive list of all websites associated with your Simple Analytics account, making it easy for your agent to select and manage different sites.
  • Export raw analytics data: Direct your agent to export detailed raw data points—like page views and events—for any website, ready for custom analysis or sharing in CSV or JSON formats.
  • Retrieve key website metrics: Ask your agent to fetch aggregated statistics for a specific site, including visitors, pageviews, bounce rate, and other essential metrics in one go.
  • Automated traffic reporting: Let your agent generate periodic or on-demand traffic reports, summarizing recent performance trends across your sites.

FAQ

What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Simple analytics MCP?

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

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

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