4. Connect your BrowserAct account

Back in Cowork, ask the agent to connect to BrowserAct or give it any BrowserAct-related task.

For example, ask Cowork to:

  • "Run pricing scraper in US region"
  • "List available BrowserAct workflow templates"
  • "Execute checkout test browser workflow"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

That's it. Composio's tools are now available in Cowork, and your BrowserAct account is ready to use.

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

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

The BrowserAct MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your BrowserAct account. It provides structured and secure access to your hosted browser workflows, templates, tasks, and proxy regions, so your agent can discover workflows, start browser tasks, track progress, resume paused tasks, and cancel running tasks on your behalf.

  • Workflow discovery: Have your agent list available custom workflows and review their details and required inputs before choosing one to run.
  • Template search and review: Let the agent search official workflow templates and inspect their details and expected inputs before starting a task.
  • Hosted browser task execution: Direct your agent to run custom workflows or official templates with the inputs needed for your browser automation job.
  • Task monitoring and control: Instruct your agent to list tasks, check their status and progress, review outputs or failures, resume paused work, or cancel a running task.
  • Proxy region selection: Have your agent view supported proxy regions and choose an available location for an official template run.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

With a standalone BrowserAct MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of BrowserAct tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from BrowserAct and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

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 BrowserAct tools.

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which BrowserAct 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.

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 BrowserAct data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.

A lot of students tell us that the moment their connected tools start talking to each other inside Opennote feels almost magical. The agent just knows them, and it's immensely helped keep new users on the platform.

We chose Composio over Pipedream because it delivered depth where it mattered — niche tools and tricky edge cases other platforms simply ignored. That gave us confidence to scale without compromising.

As a solo builder, shipping fast is life or death. The only way I can outcompete incumbents is by outmanoeuvring them. Getting bogged down managing agent auth would have been a death sentence.

Before Composio, adding tool integrations was slow and resource-intensive. Each one could take weeks of engineering time, and maintaining them meant constantly keeping up with API changes.
