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

The Aryn MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Aryn account. It provides structured and secure access to your document sets and analytics tools, so your agent can perform actions like document parsing, data extraction, metadata management, and workflow monitoring on your behalf.

• Automated document set management: Create, organize, and delete entire docsets to keep your unstructured documents sorted and accessible for further processing.
• Advanced document retrieval: Retrieve individual documents or their binary content by ID, making it easy for your agent to access and analyze specific files.
• Dynamic query planning: Generate logical query plans for complex data extraction or analytics tasks before executing them, giving you more transparency and control over document analysis workflows.
• Metadata and usage insights: Fetch detailed metadata and usage statistics for any docset, so you can track document activity and storage at a glance.
• Asynchronous task monitoring: List and monitor all outstanding or running async tasks, helping you keep tabs on document processing operations and system status in real time.
