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

The Wakatime MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Wakatime account. It provides structured and secure access to your coding activity and productivity data, so your agent can analyze time spent coding, summarize project progress, generate reports, and surface productivity trends on your behalf.

• Code activity summaries and analytics: Your agent can pull detailed breakdowns of your coding hours by language, project, or editor to help you understand where your time goes.
• Project progress tracking: Get automatic updates on how much time you've dedicated to individual projects, making it easy to monitor deadlines and progress.
• Personal productivity insights: Let your agent surface trends, highlight most productive days or hours, and offer suggestions for improving your workflow based on historical data.
• Automated weekly and monthly reports: Have the agent generate and deliver summary reports of your coding habits, helping you spot patterns and areas for improvement.
• Goal tracking and notifications: Enable your agent to track coding goals and notify you when milestones are reached or if you're falling behind.
