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

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

The Spotlightr MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Spotlightr account. It provides structured and secure access to your video content and analytics, so your agent can perform actions like retrieving top-performing videos, accessing detailed video metrics, and surfacing engagement insights automatically on your behalf.

  • Top video discovery and listing: Instantly ask your agent to fetch and list your most viewed or highest performing Spotlightr videos.
  • Video analytics and metrics retrieval: Have your agent pull comprehensive analytics for a specific video, including views, engagement rates, unique viewers, and total watch time.
  • Engagement insight extraction: Let the agent surface actionable insights about viewer engagement for any video, making it easy to spot trends and opportunities.
  • Automated reporting support: Your agent can collect and summarize video performance data, making regular reporting and decision-making faster and more data-driven.

FAQ

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

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

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

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