Think of it as Claude Code for everything else. It works autonomously with your computer, local files, and applications to accomplish complex tasks. This guide walks you through the easiest and most secure way to connect your Talenthr account to Cowork via Composio Connect, enabling it to grant vacation approval rights to managers, revoke payroll access from interns role, assign onboarding permissions to HR assistants, and more such actions on your behalf without compromising your account security. ## Also integrate Talenthr with - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/talenthr/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/talenthr/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/talenthr/framework/claude-code) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/talenthr/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/talenthr/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/talenthr/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/talenthr/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/talenthr/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/talenthr/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/talenthr/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/talenthr/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/talenthr/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/talenthr/framework/crew-ai) ## Connect Talenthr to Claude Cowork ### Connecting Talenthr to Claude Cowork 1. Open Customize In Claude Desktop, click Customize in the left sidebar, then select Connectors and click the + icon at the top. 2. Add the Composio MCP server Click Add custom connector and paste in the Composio MCP server URL: ```bash https://connect.composio.dev/mcp ``` ## 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 Talenthr through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent. ## What is the Talenthr MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Talenthr MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your TalentHR account. It provides structured and secure access to your HR operations, so your agent can assign permissions, manage role-based access, enforce compliance, and streamline HR permissions on your behalf. - Automated permission assignment: Instantly grant specific permissions to designated roles within your organization, reducing manual admin work. - Role-based access management: Enable your agent to adjust access levels for users by updating permissions tied to different roles as organizational needs evolve. - Compliance enforcement: Ensure the right people have the right access, helping your team stay compliant with internal policies and regulatory requirements. - Streamlined permission revocation: Quickly revoke permissions from roles when responsibilities change, improving security and clarity. - Permission validation and auditing: Validate and track the assignment or removal of permissions, making audits and reviews much simpler for HR teams. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `TALENTHR_ASSIGN_PERMISSION` | Assign Permission | Tool to assign permissions to a specific role. Use when you need to grant or revoke permissions for a role after validating both role and permission IDs. | ## Supported Triggers None listed. ## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK The Talenthr MCP server connects Claude Cowork to your Talenthr account through Composio. Once connected, Cowork can use the available Talenthr tools and triggers to complete tasks on your behalf. ## Complete Code None listed. ## How to build Talenthr MCP Agent with another framework - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/talenthr/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/talenthr/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/talenthr/framework/claude-code) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/talenthr/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/talenthr/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/talenthr/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/talenthr/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/talenthr/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/talenthr/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/talenthr/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/talenthr/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/talenthr/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/talenthr/framework/crew-ai) ## Related Toolkits - [Ashby](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ashby) - Ashby is an applicant tracking system that handles job postings, candidate management, and hiring analytics. - [Async interview](https://composio.dev/toolkits/async_interview) - Async interview is an on-demand video interview platform for streamlined hiring.

With a standalone Talenthr MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Talenthr tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Talenthr 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 Talenthr tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Talenthr while using Tool Router? Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Talenthr 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 Talenthr data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
