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 7shifts through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent.

The 7shifts MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your 7shifts account. It provides structured and secure access to your companies, locations, departments, employees, assignments, and scheduled shifts, so your agent can review staffing, find team members, check assignments, and manage departments on your behalf.

• Scheduled shift review: Have your agent list scheduled shifts by employee, location, department, role, time range, publication status, or open shift status.
• Employee lookup: Let the agent find employees and administrators by name, status, or assigned location, department, or role.
• Assignment checks: Direct your agent to review the locations, departments, and roles assigned to a specific team member.
• Location and company discovery: Instruct your agent to list the companies and restaurant locations available in your connected 7shifts account.
• Department management: Have your agent list, review, create, rename, set defaults for, or delete departments, including transferring roles and shifts when removing one.
