4. Connect your Sympla account

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

For example, ask Cowork to:

  • "Show all upcoming published events"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Sympla MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Sympla account. It provides structured and secure access to your event management data, so your agent can perform actions like listing events, filtering by status, sorting results, and accessing event details on your behalf.

  • Comprehensive event listing: Ask your agent to fetch a complete list of all events you've created, streamlining your event management process.
  • Status-based event filtering: Easily filter your events by published status, so you can quickly find ongoing, upcoming, or draft events.
  • Custom event sorting: Sort your event listings by date, name, or other supported criteria for easier review and management.
  • Access detailed event information: Let your agent retrieve key event details to help with monitoring, reporting, or planning tasks.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Sympla 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 Sympla 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.
