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 Smartproxy account to Cowork via Composio Connect, enabling it to show all available proxy endpoints, list residential proxy ports right now, how do I get your Smartproxy API key?, and more such actions on your behalf without compromising your account security. ## Also integrate Smartproxy with - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/smartproxy/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/smartproxy/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/smartproxy/framework/claude-code) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/smartproxy/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/smartproxy/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/smartproxy/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/smartproxy/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/smartproxy/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/smartproxy/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/smartproxy/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/smartproxy/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/smartproxy/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/smartproxy/framework/crew-ai) ## Connect Smartproxy to Claude Cowork ### Connecting Smartproxy to Claude Cowork 1. Open Customize In Claude Desktop, click Customize in the left sidebar, then select Connectors and click the + icon at the top. 2. Add the Composio MCP server Click Add custom connector and paste in the Composio MCP server URL: ```bash https://connect.composio.dev/mcp ``` ## 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 Smartproxy through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent. ## What is the Smartproxy MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Smartproxy MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Smartproxy account. It provides structured and secure access to your proxy network and scraping tools, so your agent can perform actions like listing proxy endpoints, managing ports, and guiding you through API key setup—streamlining automated data collection and proxy management. - Proxy endpoint discovery: Instantly fetch a comprehensive list of all available proxy endpoints and their corresponding ports for streamlined integration into your workflows. - Automated proxy inventory management: Let your agent help you view and organize the full range of Smartproxy’s residential, datacenter, ISP, and mobile proxies—making it easy to select the right resource for any task. - Guided API key setup: Ask your agent to walk you through the steps to obtain or manage your Smartproxy API key, ensuring seamless authentication for all automated actions. - Centralized proxy access for scraping: Enable your AI agent to leverage Smartproxy’s infrastructure for web scraping and data collection, all while managing endpoints securely. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `SMARTPROXY_DELETE_WHITELISTED_IP` | Delete Whitelisted IP | Tool to delete a specified whitelisted IP by its ID.

With a standalone Smartproxy MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Smartproxy tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Smartproxy 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 Smartproxy tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Smartproxy while using Tool Router? Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Smartproxy 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 Smartproxy data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
