"Anthropic has been building out support for third-party apps inside of Claude. As of today, the chatbot can now connect to platforms like Slack and Canva, fetching up files from inside those apps or performing tasks within them on a user's behalf. For instance, when connected to Box, Claude can now search for files, preview documents inline and answer questions about the content in front of you."
"Meanwhile, with a connection to Asana, it can now turn chats into projects, tasks and timelines your co-workers can then find and interact with on the project management app. Box and Asana are just two of the platforms adding deeper integrations with Claude today. In total, there are nine launch partners, with some of the more notable ones including Canva, Figma and Slack."
Claude can connect to third-party platforms to fetch files and perform actions within those apps on users' behalf. Connected to Box, Claude can search for files, preview documents inline, and answer questions about document content. Connected to Asana, Claude can convert chats into projects, tasks, and timelines for co-worker interaction. Nine launch partners include Canva, Figma, Slack, Box, and Asana. The integrations run on Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. MCP was released in fall 2024 to simplify platform connections, has become an industry standard, was adopted by OpenAI, and was donated to the Linux Foundation. An open extension enables other AI platforms to implement similar integrations.
