## 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 Yandex account to Cowork via Composio Connect, enabling it to find walking route from Red Square to Gorky Park, look up a business by address in Moscow, get map tiles for downtown Saint Petersburg, 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 Yandex through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent.

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

The Yandex MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Yandex account. It provides structured and secure access to Yandex search, maps, and business information, so your agent can perform actions like business lookup, reverse geocoding, detailed route planning, and retrieving map tiles on your behalf.
- Business and organization search: Instantly find businesses or organizations by name, address, or tax ID—perfect for regional lookups and company discovery.
- Reverse geocoding for precise locations: Translate latitude and longitude into street addresses or place names using Yandex Maps, making it easy to identify places from coordinates.
- Detailed route generation: Let your agent plan step-by-step driving, walking, or public transportation routes between two points, complete with directions and travel options.
- Custom map tile retrieval: Fetch specific map tile images by their coordinates and zoom level, enabling custom visualizations or interactive map experiences.

## Frequently Asked Questions

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

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

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

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