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 Turso account to Cowork via Composio Connect, enabling it to find the closest Turso region to Berlin, stream real-time updates from the orders table, check if your API token is still valid, and more such actions on your behalf without compromising your account security. ## Also integrate Turso with - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/turso/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/turso/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/turso/framework/claude-code) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/turso/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/turso/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/turso/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/turso/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/turso/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/turso/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/turso/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/turso/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/turso/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/turso/framework/crew-ai) ## Connect Turso to Claude Cowork ### Connecting Turso 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 Turso through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent. ## What is the Turso MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Turso MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Turso account. It provides structured and secure access to your Turso databases, so your agent can discover optimal regions, monitor real-time table changes, and validate API tokens for secure automation on your behalf. - Region optimization for deployments: Instantly find and select the closest Turso region to minimize database latency based on your agent’s or application’s location. - Real-time change monitoring: Let your agent listen for real-time insert, update, or delete operations on specific tables, enabling immediate reactions to critical data changes. - API token validation: Have your agent check and confirm the validity and expiration time of Turso API tokens before running sensitive operations. - Event-driven automation: Build workflows that automatically trigger downstream actions in response to live database updates streamed via Turso’s change listener. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `TURSO_CLOSEST_REGION` | Closest Region | Tool to get the closest Turso region based on client location. Use when you need to minimize latency by selecting the nearest deployment region. | | `TURSO_LISTEN_TO_CHANGES` | Listen To Changes | Listen to committed table changes in a Turso database via the /beta/listen endpoint. This tool streams real-time insert/update/delete events for a specific table. IMPORTANT: Requires a database-specific URL (e.g., 'https://mydb-myorg.turso.io'), NOT the platform API URL (api.turso.tech). Note: The /beta/listen endpoint is NOT available on AWS regions for Free, Developer, and Scaler plans. When unavailable, the action falls back to a /v2/pipeline health check. | | `TURSO_VALIDATE_API_TOKEN` | Validate API Token | Validates a Turso API token and retrieves its expiration time. Use this action to verify that an API token is valid and check when it expires. Returns the token's expiration timestamp, or -1 if the token has no expiration. | ## Supported Triggers None listed. ## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK The Turso MCP server connects Claude Cowork to your Turso account through Composio. Once connected, Cowork can use the available Turso tools and triggers to complete tasks on your behalf. ## Complete Code None listed. ## How to build Turso MCP Agent with another framework - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/turso/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/turso/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/turso/framework/claude-code) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/turso/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/turso/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/turso/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/turso/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/turso/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/turso/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/turso/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/turso/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/turso/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/turso/framework/crew-ai) ## Related Toolkits - [Excel](https://composio.dev/toolkits/excel) - Microsoft Excel is a robust spreadsheet application for organizing, analyzing, and visualizing data.

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