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

The Order Desk MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Order Desk account. It provides structured and secure access to your orders, shipments, inventory, and store data, so your agent can find orders, manage line items, track shipments, update inventory, and organize orders on your behalf.

• Order search and review: Have your agent find matching orders and retrieve their addresses, items, shipments, notes, discounts, and other details.
• Order item management: Let the agent list, add, update, or remove line items from an existing order.
• Shipment management: Direct your agent to create shipment records, review an order's shipments, update shipment details, or remove incorrect records.
• Inventory management: Instruct your agent to search, create, review, update, or delete inventory items using details such as SKU, name, location, or update time.
• Order organization and store context: Have your agent add permanent history notes, move orders into the right folder, and review store settings such as locale, timezone, and folder names.
