4. Connect your PDFgen account

Back in Cowork, ask the agent to connect to PDFgen or give it any PDFgen-related task.

For example, ask Cowork to:

  • "Create invoice PDF from template"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The PDFgen MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your PDFgen account. It provides structured and secure access to your PDF generation, templates, account details, and usage history, so your agent can create templates, generate PDFs, manage saved templates, review credit usage, and inspect recent activity on your behalf.

  • Flexible PDF generation: Have your agent generate PDFs from saved templates, HTML, Markdown, or natural-language prompts and provide a temporary download link.
  • Reusable template creation: Let the agent create reusable HTML templates for invoices, reports, certificates, and other recurring documents.
  • Template management: Direct your agent to list, review, update, or permanently delete templates saved in your PDFgen account.
  • Account and credit monitoring: Instruct your agent to check your account, organization, plan, and current credit usage.
  • Usage review and troubleshooting: Have your agent inspect recent PDFgen activity to support audits, review billing, or investigate generation issues.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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

A lot of students tell us that the moment their connected tools start talking to each other inside Opennote feels almost magical. The agent just knows them, and it's immensely helped keep new users on the platform.

We chose Composio over Pipedream because it delivered depth where it mattered — niche tools and tricky edge cases other platforms simply ignored. That gave us confidence to scale without compromising.

As a solo builder, shipping fast is life or death. The only way I can outcompete incumbents is by outmanoeuvring them. Getting bogged down managing agent auth would have been a death sentence.

Before Composio, adding tool integrations was slow and resource-intensive. Each one could take weeks of engineering time, and maintaining them meant constantly keeping up with API changes.
