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

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

The iLovePDF MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your iLovePDF account. It provides structured and secure access to your PDF and image processing tools, so your agent can compress files, convert formats, merge documents, split PDFs, and monitor processing tasks on your behalf.

  • PDF and image compression: Have your agent compress one or more PDFs or images to reduce file sizes and return the processed files.
  • PDF and image conversion: Direct your agent to turn images into PDFs or convert PDF pages into images.
  • PDF merging: Instruct your agent to combine two or more PDFs in your chosen order and return one merged document.
  • Flexible PDF splitting: Let the agent split a PDF by page ranges or fixed intervals, or create a new document with selected pages removed.
  • Task and account management: Have your agent check processing progress, review output details and remaining allowance, or delete completed tasks and their files.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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