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

The Zeplin MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Zeplin account. It provides structured and secure access to your Zeplin workspace, so your agent can perform actions like listing projects, fetching screens, exporting assets, managing components, and collaborating with your design team on your behalf.

• Project and styleguide management: Let your agent list, fetch, or organize your Zeplin projects and associated styleguides for faster design handoff and reference.
• Screen and asset retrieval: Automatically pull screen details, preview images, or export assets from any project directly into your workflow, no copy-paste required.
• Component library access: Have your agent fetch, list, or update components from your shared libraries to keep your design system in sync.
• Commenting and collaboration: Enable your agent to read, create, or manage comments on screens or components, streamlining feedback and design review cycles.
• Resource linking and metadata extraction: Allow your agent to extract, organize, or provide direct links to design resources and metadata, making documentation and developer handoff seamless.
