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 Smtp2go through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent.

What is the Smtp2go MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Smtp2go MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Smtp2go account. It provides structured and secure access to your email sending and management infrastructure, so your agent can perform actions like searching email activity, managing allowed senders, updating sender domains, and controlling IP allow lists on your behalf.

  • Comprehensive email activity search: Ask your agent to filter and retrieve email events such as sends, opens, clicks, and bounces by recipient, date, or message ID.
  • Allowed sender management: Have your agent add, update, remove, or view allowed sender email addresses to control who can send emails from your account.
  • Sender domain configuration: Let the agent register new sender domains for SPF/DKIM verification and manage domain-related settings seamlessly.
  • IP allow list control: Direct your agent to add or remove IP addresses or CIDR ranges in your account’s IP allow list, enhancing security for sending sources.
  • Email delivery monitoring: Enable your agent to search and analyze sent emails, helping you monitor delivery, troubleshoot issues, and ensure reliable communication.

How to build Smtp2go MCP Agent with another framework

FAQ

What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Smtp2go MCP?

With a standalone Smtp2go MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Smtp2go tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Smtp2go 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 Smtp2go tools.

Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Smtp2go while using Tool Router?

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Smtp2go 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 Smtp2go data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
