Anthropic enhances Claude connectors for seamless, interactive tool integration

Anthropic has rolled out a significant upgrade to Claude's interactive connectors, moving beyond simple side previews to enable full-screen, side-by-side workflows within supported office software. This new capability allows Claude to directly modify content within tools like Notion or Confluence, with edits appearing in real time for user confirmation. Users can now invoke AI assistance directly on the screen without needing complex prompts. The feature is currently deploying across all web and desktop plans and initially supports mainstream tools including Asana, Canva, Dropbox, and Webflow. Specific integrations allow Claude to retouch photos in Adobe, manage sales pipelines in HubSpot, and edit documents in Box. Technically, these connectors operate on MCP Apps, an open extension of the Model Context Protocol, meaning the functionality is not exclusive to Claude. Developers can build these apps to run in any AI application supporting the extension. Enterprise users can manage permissions, while the developer capabilities are presently in public preview.
