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

The SNCF MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your SNCF account. It provides structured and secure access to SNCF passenger information, so your agent can plan journeys, find stations, check schedules, monitor service disruptions, and explore the transport network on your behalf.

• Journey planning: Have your agent plan train journeys between stations or locations for a chosen departure or arrival time.
• Station and place discovery: Let the agent search for stations, addresses, administrative areas, and points of interest by name or find nearby stops from a location.
• Live station boards: Direct your agent to check upcoming departures or arrivals, including scheduled times, real-time updates, and disruption details.
• Service status monitoring: Instruct your agent to review current disruptions and identify the affected lines, stations, or train journeys within a selected time window.
• Transport network exploration: Have your agent browse or search SNCF networks, lines, routes, stations, transport modes, operators, and train journeys, and check the available coverage period.
