# Claude Cowork

## Overview

The Anthropic Claude Cowork input receives OTel telemetry data emitted by [Claude Cowork](https://claude.com/docs/cowork/monitoring), Anthropic's collaborative coding product in the Claude desktop app. Claude Cowork exports OpenTelemetry log events for monitoring session activity, prompts, tool usage, API calls, and cost.

## Requirements

There is no configuration needed at the input level in Monad. Simply create a Claude Cowork input and attach it to a pipeline.

All configuration is done in the Anthropic admin console. Note the following pre-requisites from Anthropic:

- **Plan**: Team or Enterprise
- **Claude desktop app**: version `1.1.4173` or later
- **Scope**: monitoring is configured organization-wide by an admin — there is no per-user setup

## Claude Cowork Configuration

To send telemetry from Claude Cowork to Monad, you need:

1. A Monad **organization API key** with the `pipeline:data:write` permission
2. The **pipeline ID** of the pipeline with your Claude Cowork input

### Steps

1. In the Claude desktop app, navigate to **Admin settings → Cowork**.
2. In the **OTel configuration** panel, set:

   | Field | Value |
   |---|---|
   | **OTLP endpoint** | `https://<pipeline-id>.data.monad.com:4318` |
   | **OTLP protocol** | `http/protobuf` (recommended) or `http/json` |
   | **OTLP headers** | `Authorization=ApiKey <your-api-key>` |

3. Save the settings.
4. Start a **new** Cowork session — existing sessions won't pick up the new configuration.

Your pipeline's ingest hostname, `<pipeline-id>.data.monad.com`, tells Monad which pipeline the telemetry belongs to. Cowork does not currently support the gRPC OTLP protocol, so use one of the HTTP variants on port `4318`.

### Content Capture (optional)

By default, exported events contain metadata only. To also capture prompt text, model responses, and tool inputs, enable the `otlpContentCapture` setting on the admin config with any of:

- `userPrompts` — include user prompt text
- `assistantResponses` — include model response text (truncated at ~60 KB)
- `toolDetails` — include tool parameters (truncated at ~4 KB)

## Sync frequency

This is a push (receiver) input: Monad ingests records as the source sends them, so there is no polling interval. See [Input Sync Frequency](../../guides/sync-frequency) for details.
