"Anthropic's Claude got a bit livelier today thanks to a new extension to MCP, the open-source protocol that allows AI agents to easily access tools and data across the internet. Users will now be able to interact with apps directly inside the Claude chatbot, letting you draft and format Slack messages to colleagues and create presentations for clients in Canva without having to switch tabs."
"As of today, Anthropic said tools like Asana, Figma, Slack, and Canva will "open as interactive apps right inside of chat." While users could previously connect tools like Slack and Asana to the AI assistant, doing so meant getting text back. The company says the new in-app integration means users can actually engage with the tool and "see, explore, and refine results visually, not just read about them.""
"A number of popular tools are already available to use directly in Claude. Anthropic says users can customize Canva decks in real time, format and preview Slack messages, build interactive charts with Hex or Amplitude, and manage projects with Asana or monday.com. There are also integrations for Figma, Clay, and Box, Anthropic said, with Salesforce tools like Data 360, Agentforce, and C"
An MCP extension enables AI agents to access tools and data across the internet. Claude now supports interactive in-chat apps, allowing users to interact with tools directly inside the chatbot to draft and format Slack messages and create Canva presentations without switching tabs. Previously, connected tools returned only text; the in-chat integrations provide visual, interactive experiences to see, explore, and refine results. Available integrations include Asana, Figma, Slack, Canva, Hex, Amplitude, monday.com, Clay, Box, and Salesforce tools such as Data 360 and Agentforce. Users can customize Canva decks, preview Slack messages, build interactive charts, and manage projects inside chat.
