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. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `SYMPLA_LIST_EVENTS` | List Events | Tool to list all events created by the authenticated organizer. Use this when you need to fetch events from a Sympla account. Supports pagination, filtering by published status, date range, and sorting. | ## Supported Triggers None listed. ## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK The Sympla MCP server connects Claude Cowork to your Sympla account through Composio. Once connected, Cowork can use the available Sympla tools and triggers to complete tasks on your behalf. ## Complete Code None listed. ## How to build Sympla MCP Agent with another framework - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/sympla/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/sympla/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/sympla/framework/claude-code) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/sympla/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/sympla/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/sympla/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/sympla/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/sympla/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/sympla/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/sympla/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/sympla/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/sympla/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/sympla/framework/crew-ai) ## Related Toolkits - [Google Calendar](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googlecalendar) - Google Calendar is a time management service for scheduling meetings, events, and reminders.

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. ### 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 Sympla tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Sympla while using Tool Router? 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. ### 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 Sympla data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) ยท [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
