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

The Pneumatic MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Pneumatic account. It provides structured and secure access to your workflow templates, workflow runs, tasks, and datasets, so your agent can inspect processes, start workflows, track progress, complete tasks, and maintain reusable datasets on your behalf.

• Workflow template discovery: Have your agent find accessible templates and review their tasks, kickoff fields, owners, and execution settings before starting work.
• Workflow execution: Direct your agent to start a workflow from a template with a name, urgency, due date, and the required kickoff information.
• Workflow tracking: Let the agent find workflow runs by status, template, starter, performer, task, or search text, then review their current state and timing.
• Task management: Instruct your agent to find assigned tasks, review instructions and checklists, complete active tasks with output values, or return completed tasks to active work.
• Reusable dataset management: Have your agent list available datasets, create new ones, or update their names, descriptions, and ordered items for use in workflows and templates.
