# Cowork

> Stream Claude Cowork telemetry through Unbound for organization-wide observability, cost tracking, and policy enforcement

## What is Cowork?

[Claude Cowork](https://www.anthropic.com/product/claude-cowork) is Anthropic's agentic AI for knowledge work, built into the [Claude desktop app](https://support.anthropic.com/en/articles/10065433-installing-claude-for-desktop). It runs across local files, folders, and the applications people use every day, synthesizing information and completing multi-step tasks without the user coordinating each action.

## What you get

* **Centralized observability** — every Cowork session shows up in your Unbound dashboards next to Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and every other integrated tool.
* **Cost attribution** — tie spend back to users, teams, and projects through Unbound.
* **Audit trail** — a complete record of Cowork activity for compliance reviews.

## Prerequisites

* **Unbound account** with an API key. Generate one from **Connect → AI Coding Tools → Cowork** in the Unbound dashboard.
* **Claude desktop app**, version **1.1.4173 or later**, signed in on a **Team** or **Enterprise** plan.
* If your network has egress restrictions, add your Unbound gateway domain to **Organization settings → Capabilities → Network egress** in the Claude desktop app.

## Setup

1. Open the **Claude desktop app**.

2. Go to **Organization settings → Cowork → Monitoring**.

3. Fill in the following fields:

   | Field         | Value                                         |
   | ------------- | --------------------------------------------- |
   | OTLP endpoint | `https://api.getunbound.ai/otel`              |
   | OTLP protocol | `http/json`                                   |
   | OTLP headers  | `Authorization=Bearer <YOUR_UNBOUND_API_KEY>` |

4. Save. Users in your organization must **start a new Cowork session** for the change to take effect — settings are loaded at session start, not on the fly.

Copy-ready values and your account's API key are available in the Unbound dashboard at **Connect → AI Coding Tools → Cowork**.

## Verification

1. Start a new Cowork session in the Claude desktop app and run any task.
2. Open the Unbound dashboard and check **Logs** — you should see a new Cowork event within a few seconds.
3. Cost and usage for Cowork appear under **Analytics** alongside your other integrated tools.

If nothing shows up:

* Confirm the user **started a new session** after the setting was saved. Cowork does not hot-reload the monitoring config.
* Confirm the API key in the `Authorization` header is valid and not revoked.
* If your network restricts egress, confirm your Unbound gateway domain is whitelisted under **Capabilities → Network egress**.
* Confirm the desktop app version is **1.1.4173 or later**. Older builds don't support OTLP export.
