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

The Screenshot API MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Screenshot API account. It provides structured and secure access to webpage and custom HTML rendering, so your agent can create screenshots, generate PDFs or videos, extract content, and manage bulk capture jobs on your behalf.

• Webpage and HTML capture: Have your agent render webpages or custom HTML as images for previews, reports, and visual records.
• PDF and video generation: Direct your agent to turn webpages or custom HTML into PDFs or videos and return links to the stored results.
• Content extraction: Let the agent capture a page and request links to extracted content when needed.
• Bulk capture jobs: Instruct your agent to submit batches of capture requests from JSON or an uploaded CSV file.
• Bulk job tracking and results: Have your agent check capture progress and success or failure counts, then download the completed result CSV.
