Introduction

Cowork is Anthropic's AI agent for knowledge work. 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 Wakatime account to Cowork via Composio Connect, enabling it to show your top coding languages this week, summarize today's coding activity by project, list your most productive coding days last month, and more such actions on your behalf without compromising your account security.

Also integrate Wakatime with

Connecting Wakatime to Claude Cowork

4. Connect your Wakatime account

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

For example, ask Cowork to:

  • "Show your top coding languages this week"
  • "Summarize today's coding activity by project"
  • "List your most productive coding days last month"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Wakatime MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Wakatime account. It provides structured and secure access to your coding activity and productivity data, so your agent can analyze time spent coding, summarize project progress, generate reports, and surface productivity trends on your behalf.

  • Code activity summaries and analytics: Your agent can pull detailed breakdowns of your coding hours by language, project, or editor to help you understand where your time goes.
  • Project progress tracking: Get automatic updates on how much time you've dedicated to individual projects, making it easy to monitor deadlines and progress.
  • Personal productivity insights: Let your agent surface trends, highlight most productive days or hours, and offer suggestions for improving your workflow based on historical data.
  • Automated weekly and monthly reports: Have the agent generate and deliver summary reports of your coding habits, helping you spot patterns and areas for improvement.
  • Goal tracking and notifications: Enable your agent to track coding goals and notify you when milestones are reached or if you're falling behind.

FAQ

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

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

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

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