4. Connect your Spotlightr account

Back in Cowork, ask the agent to connect to Spotlightr or give it any Spotlightr-related task.

For example, ask Cowork to:

  • "Show me your top 5 most viewed videos"
  • "Get viewer engagement stats for video ID 1234"
  • "List videos with highest watch time this week"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

That's it. Composio's tools are now available in Cowork, and your Spotlightr account is ready to use.

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

Frequently asked questions

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.

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.

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.

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.

A lot of students tell us that the moment their connected tools start talking to each other inside Opennote feels almost magical. The agent just knows them, and it's immensely helped keep new users on the platform.

We chose Composio over Pipedream because it delivered depth where it mattered — niche tools and tricky edge cases other platforms simply ignored. That gave us confidence to scale without compromising.

As a solo builder, shipping fast is life or death. The only way I can outcompete incumbents is by outmanoeuvring them. Getting bogged down managing agent auth would have been a death sentence.

Before Composio, adding tool integrations was slow and resource-intensive. Each one could take weeks of engineering time, and maintaining them meant constantly keeping up with API changes.
