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

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

The BSC Designer MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your BSC Designer account. It provides structured and secure access to your scorecards, indicators, goals, initiatives, and performance data, so your agent can review scorecards, track KPI results, update indicators, balance weights, and generate reports on your behalf.

  • Scorecard discovery and review: Have your agent list available scorecards, inspect their details and sharing settings, and review goals, perspectives, indicators, initiatives, risks, rationales, and expected outcomes.
  • KPI tracking and analysis: Instruct your agent to retrieve indicator values, baselines, targets, minimums, and maximums for a chosen date, or group results by day, week, month, quarter, half-year, or year.
  • Indicator value updates: Let the agent record values, baselines, targets, minimums, or maximums for one or more indicators in a single task.
  • Indicator and weight management: Direct your agent to update indicator names, descriptions, or leading and lagging types, and recalculate balanced weights across a scorecard.
  • Excel performance reporting: Have your agent generate and download an Excel report for a scorecard, using either current results or performance evaluated on a selected date.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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