How to connect Creatomate to Claude Cowork

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 Creatomate account to Cowork via Composio Connect, enabling it to create product video from template, list recent Creatomate render statuses, generate social ads from templates, and more such actions on your behalf without compromising your account security.

Connecting Creatomate to Claude Cowork

1. Open Customize

In Claude Desktop, click Customize in the left sidebar, then select Connectors and click the + icon at the top.

2. Add the Composio MCP server

Click Add custom connector and paste in the Composio MCP server URL:

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

The Creatomate MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Creatomate account. It provides structured and secure access to your media renders and reusable templates, so your agent can generate videos, images, and GIFs, track render progress, and create, review, update, or delete templates on your behalf.

• Automated media creation: Have your agent generate a video, image, or GIF from a reusable template or a custom media design.
• Render progress tracking: Let the agent check whether a media render is still processing, has succeeded, or has failed, and retrieve its available output details.
• Reusable template creation: Direct your agent to create and save new project templates from complete media designs without starting a render.
• Template discovery and review: Instruct your agent to list available templates, filter them by tags, and retrieve the complete design of a selected template.
• Template updates and cleanup: Have your agent rename templates, replace their tags or designs, and permanently delete templates you no longer need.
