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

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

The Webex MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Webex account. It provides structured and secure access to your meetings, teams, rooms, and messaging, so your agent can perform actions like managing teams, creating rooms, posting messages, and handling memberships on your behalf.

  • Automated team and room management: Quickly create new teams or rooms, group conversations by topic, and keep collaboration spaces organized through your agent.
  • Seamless messaging and announcements: Direct your agent to post messages, send important files, or share updates with individuals or entire rooms instantly.
  • Membership and access control: Effortlessly add or remove members from teams and spaces, ensuring the right people have access at the right time.
  • Webhook and event integrations: List and manage Webex webhooks so your agent can react to events or changes as they happen in your workspace.
  • Content and message cleanup: Ask your agent to delete outdated or mistaken messages and memberships, keeping your workspace tidy and relevant.

FAQ

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

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

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

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