It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

That's it. Composio's tools are now available in Cowork, and your Edworking 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 Edworking through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent.

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

The Edworking MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Edworking account. It provides structured and secure access to your projects, tasks, messages, folders, workflow states, and time entries, so your agent can manage tasks, review project activity, send messages, explore folders, and track time on your behalf.

  • Project and task management: Have your agent list available projects, create and review tasks, rename existing tasks, or delete tasks you no longer need.
  • Workflow status review: Let the agent inspect the workflow states configured for a project and summarize task status and tracking details.
  • Project communication: Direct your agent to review project messages and activity, then send a text message to the relevant project.
  • Folder exploration: Instruct your agent to list project folders or focus on the folders contained within a specific parent folder.
  • Task time tracking: Have your agent record time against a task at a chosen start time or remove an incorrect time entry.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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