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 Y gy account to Cowork via Composio Connect, enabling it to shorten this event registration link, list all short links I created, delete this expired promo short link, and more such actions on your behalf without compromising your account security. ## Also integrate Y gy with - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/y_gy/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/y_gy/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/y_gy/framework/claude-code) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/y_gy/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/y_gy/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/y_gy/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/y_gy/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/y_gy/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/y_gy/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/y_gy/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/y_gy/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/y_gy/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/y_gy/framework/crew-ai) ## Connect Y gy to Claude Cowork ### Connecting Y gy to Claude Cowork 1. Open Customize In Claude Desktop, click Customize in the left sidebar, then select Connectors and click the + icon at the top. 2. Add the Composio MCP server Click Add custom connector and paste in the Composio MCP server URL: ```bash https://connect.composio.dev/mcp ``` ## 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 Y gy through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent. ## What is the Y gy MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Y gy MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Y gy account. It provides structured and secure access to your link management, so your agent can perform actions like creating short links, organizing tags, retrieving analytics, and managing your URL resources automatically. - Instant short link creation: Quickly generate new short, branded links from long URLs, with support for custom domains or aliases—all via your agent's commands. - Comprehensive link management: List all your existing short links, fetch details for any link by ID, and remove outdated or unwanted short links effortlessly. - Tag organization and automation: Automatically create new tags to categorize links, fetch all available tags, or delete specific tags to keep your link library tidy and organized. - User onboarding and account management: Onboard new users to your Y gy workspace by registering accounts programmatically, streamlining access control and user management. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `Y_GY_CREATE_LINK` | Create Y.gy Link | Tool to create a comprehensive Y.gy shortened link with advanced features.

With a standalone Y gy MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Y gy tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Y gy 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 Y gy tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Y gy while using Tool Router? Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Y gy 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 Y gy data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
