## 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 Worksnaps account to Cowork via Composio Connect, enabling it to show your total hours logged this week, list all tasks for project Alpha, create a new project for client onboarding, 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 Worksnaps through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent.

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

The Worksnaps MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Worksnaps account. It provides structured and secure access to your time tracking and project data, so your agent can perform actions like tracking project hours, managing tasks, retrieving detailed reports, and accessing user assignments on your behalf.
- Project and task management: Direct your agent to create new projects, add tasks, or delete tasks from specific projects for streamlined workflow organization.
- Comprehensive project reporting: Request detailed time tracking reports for individual projects, including daily summaries and custom date ranges.
- Account and assignment insights: Let your agent fetch account details and list all user assignments to see which projects you're working on or managing.
- Quick project overview retrieval: Ask the agent to list all accessible projects or view detailed information about any project with just a prompt.
- Task detail and status checks: Retrieve details for any task within a project, so you can stay on top of progress and workload effortlessly.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `WORKSNAPS_CREATE_PROJECT` | Create Project | Creates a new project in Worksnaps for tracking time and tasks. Use this tool when you need to set up a new project for time tracking. Projects serve as containers for tasks and time entries. Each project must have a unique name within the account. Note: Account plan limits may restrict the number of projects that can be created. |
| `WORKSNAPS_CREATE_TASK` | Create task | Tool to create a new task in a specified project. Use after confirming project ID exists. |
| `WORKSNAPS_DELETE_TASK` | Delete Task | Permanently deletes a task from a Worksnaps project. This action is destructive and cannot be undone. Use GET_TASKS first to find the task_id, and GET_PROJECTS to find the project_id. Returns success=true if the task was deleted. Returns 404 error if project or task does not exist. |
| `WORKSNAPS_GET_PROJECT_DETAILS` | Get Project Details | Tool to retrieve details of a specific project. Use when you have a project_id and need its details. |
| `WORKSNAPS_GET_PROJECT_REPORT` | Get Project Report | Retrieves time entries for a specific project using the Worksnaps Time Entries API. Returns individual time tracking records showing when users worked on the project. Use this to get detailed time tracking data for a project within a timestamp range. Timestamps must be Unix timestamps at 10-minute interval boundaries. |
| `WORKSNAPS_GET_PROJECTS` | Get Projects | Tool to retrieve a paginated list of projects. Use after authenticating to list accessible projects. |
| `WORKSNAPS_GET_TASK_DETAILS` | Get Task Details | Tool to retrieve details of a specific task within a project. Use after confirming project_id and task_id. |
| `WORKSNAPS_GET_TASKS` | Get Project Tasks | Tool to retrieve tasks for a specific project. Use when you have a project ID and need its tasks. Example: 'Get tasks for project 42'. |
| `WORKSNAPS_GET_USER_ACCOUNT` | Get User Account | Tool to retrieve information about a specific user account. Use after confirming the user_id. |
| `WORKSNAPS_GET_USER_ASSIGNMENTS` | Get User Assignments | Tool to retrieve a list of all user assignments for a specific project. Returns details about users assigned to the project including their roles, permissions, and contact information. |
| `WORKSNAPS_GET_USERS` | Get Users | Retrieves a list of all users in the Worksnaps account. Returns user details including id, login, name, email, time zone, and active status. Use this to get user IDs for other user-related operations. |
| `WORKSNAPS_PUT_UPDATE_PROJECT` | Update Project | Tool to update an existing project. Use when you have project_id and fields to modify. |
| `WORKSNAPS_PUT_UPDATE_TASK` | Update Task | Tool to update details of an existing task. Use when you have project_id, task_id, and fields to update. |
| `WORKSNAPS_PUT_UPDATE_USER_ACCOUNT` | Update User Account | Tool to update information for a specific user account. Use when modifying user details after confirming the user exists. Note: This can only be done by the user himself or by a trusted partner using partner's API token. |

## Frequently Asked Questions

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

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

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

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