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 Human Approval - HITL Platform through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent.

The Human Approval - HITL Platform MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Human Approval - HITL Platform account. It provides structured and secure access to your human approval loops and review requests, so your agent can organize reviewers, request decisions, track responses, cancel pending reviews, and manage approval loops on your behalf.

• Approval loop management: Have your agent create, rename, describe, list, or permanently delete approval loops for different teams and workflows.
• Reviewer readiness checks: Let the agent list active and pending reviewers in a loop before sending work for human approval.
• Human approval requests: Direct your agent to create and broadcast structured approval requests to the active reviewers in a chosen loop.
• Decision tracking and cancellation: Instruct your agent to check an approval request's status and human response, list previous requests, or cancel a pending request.
• Account and allowance checks: Have your agent verify the connected account's status, permissions, and remaining request allowance before asking for approval.
