This guide walks you through the easiest and most secure way to connect your Wati account to Cowork via Composio Connect, enabling it to send session message to new lead, add customer contact from webform submission, update contact attributes after support chat, and more such actions on your behalf without compromising your account security.

## 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 Wati through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent.

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

The Wati MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Wati WhatsApp Business account. It provides structured and secure access to your business messaging, so your agent can add contacts, send WhatsApp messages, update contact details, and retrieve team information automatically on your behalf.
- Automated contact management: Have your agent add new WhatsApp contacts, ensuring customers are registered before any communication starts.
- Proactive messaging via WhatsApp: Empower your agent to send session messages to customers for support, marketing, or updates within the active session window.
- Contact attribute updates: Let your agent update existing contact information or custom attributes, so your customer data stays fresh and relevant.
- Team coordination and retrieval: Quickly fetch lists of your Wati teams, making it easy for your agent to understand and act on organizational structure.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Wati MCP?

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

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

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