How to connect Seam to Claude Cowork

Cowork is Anthropic's AI agent for knowledge work. Think of it as Claude Code for everything else. It works autonomously with your computer, local files, and applications to accomplish complex tasks. This guide walks you through the easiest and most secure way to connect your Seam account to Cowork via Composio Connect, enabling it to unlock front door for guest arrival, create temporary access code for cleaners, check thermostat and sensor status, and more such actions on your behalf without compromising your account security.

Connecting Seam to Claude Cowork

1. Open Customize

In Claude Desktop, click Customize in the left sidebar, then select Connectors and click the + icon at the top.

2. Add the Composio MCP server

Click Add custom connector and paste in the Composio MCP server URL:

bash
https://connect.composio.dev/mcp
Add custom connector dialog with Composio MCP server URL

3. Authorize in your browser

Click Connect. You'll be redirected to a browser window where you can authorize Composio to continue.

4. Connect your Seam account

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

For example, ask Cowork to:

  • "Unlock front door for guest arrival"
  • "Create temporary access code for cleaners"
  • "Check thermostat and sensor status"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Seam MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Seam account. It provides structured and secure access to your connected devices, spaces, accounts, and access grants, so your agent can find devices, review connected accounts, create and update access grants, revoke access, and monitor operation results on your behalf.

  • Device and space discovery: Have your agent find connected devices and grantable spaces by details such as name, type, manufacturer, customer, or workspace metadata.
  • Access grant creation: Let the agent grant new or existing users access to selected spaces, devices, or entrances using PINs, cards, mobile keys, or cloud keys.
  • Access updates and revocation: Direct your agent to change an access grant's name or validity period, add more access methods, or permanently revoke access.
  • Access and account review: Instruct your agent to review access grants and search the provider accounts connected to your workspace.
  • Operation monitoring: Have your agent check the status, errors, and results of device operations so you can see whether requested actions completed successfully.
TOOLS

Supported Tools

Every Seam action and event your agent gets out of the box.

Add Access Methods to Grant

Request additional PIN, card, mobile-key, or cloud-key methods for an existing access grant.

Create Access Grant

Grant an existing or new user identity access to spaces, devices, or access-control entrances, requesting PIN, card, mobile-key, or cloud-key methods.

Delete Access Grant

Permanently revoke and delete an access grant by UUID, removing the access it manages.

Get Access Grant

Get one access grant by its Seam UUID or unique workspace key.

List Access Grants

List access grants in the workspace, optionally filtered by space, device, entrance, user identity, reservation, customer, key, or IDs; returns one cursor-controlled page.

List Action Attempts

Inspect asynchronous Seam operation status, errors, and results in bulk by action-attempt IDs or by device, returning one cursor-controlled page.

List Connected Accounts

List and search provider accounts connected to the workspace, optionally filtering by space, customer, user, or metadata; returns one cursor-controlled page.

List Devices

List and search devices in the workspace, optionally filtering by account, space, IDs, type, manufacturer, customer, creation time, or metadata; returns one cursor-controlled page.

List Spaces

List and search spaces in the workspace by name, key, or customer, returning one cursor-controlled page of grantable locations.

Update Access Grant

Update an access grant's name or validity window by UUID or unique workspace key.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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

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.
