This guide walks you through the easiest and most secure way to connect your Vapi account to Cowork via Composio Connect, enabling it to start a new outbound call campaign, get transcript from the last agent call, pause all ongoing voice agent sessions, and more such actions on your behalf without compromising your account security.

4. Connect your Vapi account

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

For example, ask Cowork to:

  • "Start a new outbound call campaign"
  • "Get transcript from the last agent call"
  • "Pause all ongoing voice agent sessions"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

That's it. Composio's tools are now available in Cowork, and your Vapi 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 Vapi through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent.

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

The Vapi MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Vapi account. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Vapi operations on your behalf.

How to build Vapi MCP Agent with another framework

FAQ

What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Vapi MCP?

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

Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Vapi while using Tool Router?

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Vapi 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 Vapi data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
