4. Connect your Bitbucket account

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

For example, ask Cowork to:

  • "Create a new branch off main"
  • "Open a pull request for your feature"
  • "Comment on the latest open issue"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Bitbucket MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Bitbucket account. It provides structured and secure access to your repositories, issues, and pull requests, so your agent can create branches, manage issues, review code, and handle repository operations for you.

  • Branch and repository management: Let your agent create new branches for feature work or initialize fresh repositories within your Bitbucket workspace—no manual setup required.
  • Automated issue tracking: Have your agent create, comment on, or delete issues to streamline team collaboration and bug tracking directly from your workflows.
  • Pull request automation: Empower your agent to open new pull requests for code review, ensuring changes are properly tracked and integrated.
  • File and snippet operations: Ask your agent to fetch specific files from any branch or commit, or to post comments on code snippets for contextual discussions.
  • User profile and workspace insights: Retrieve your Bitbucket user profile details on demand, making it easy to personalize and audit agent-driven actions.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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