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 21risk through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent.

What is the 21risk MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The 21risk MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your 21risk account. It provides structured and secure access to your checklists, audits, compliance data, and risk models, so your agent can retrieve reports, analyze compliance status, and streamline audit management on your behalf.

  • Automated compliance insights and analytics: Instantly fetch compliance data for sites, categories, or specific questions to support analytics and reporting needs.
  • Audit report management: Retrieve draft, published, or scheduled audit reports, enabling your agent to monitor progress or summarize findings.
  • Risk model and category exploration: Let your agent list and filter available risk models and categories to assist with compliance checks and risk assessments.
  • Monthly item tracking and analysis: Query detailed fact tables of items per month for granular, time-based risk or compliance monitoring.
  • Site, organization, and property retrieval: Automatically list sites, organizations, and property details, helping you organize and cross-reference risk and compliance data efficiently.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

With a standalone 21risk MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of 21risk tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from 21risk 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 21risk tools.

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which 21risk 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 21risk data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
