"In keeping with Anthropic's enterprise focus, the launch apps are mostly workplace tools, including Slack, Canva, Figma, Box, and Clay, with a Salesforce implementation expected soon. In each case, the app will enable a logged-in instance of the service that's accessible to Claude, enabling users to send Slack messages, generate charts, or access cloud files, depending on which apps have been enabled."
"The system is similar to OpenAI's Apps system, which launched in October and also enables interactive third-party tools. Both systems of app integrations are built on the Model Context Protocol, an open standard introduced by Anthropic in 2024. MCP launched support for apps in November, drawing on work from both companies. The new apps will be particularly powerful when integrated with Claude Cowork, an all-purpose agent tool launched by Anthropic last week."
Claude can now call up interactive apps inside the chatbot interface, focused on workplace tools such as Slack, Canva, Figma, Box, and Clay, with Salesforce coming soon. Each integration provides a logged-in instance accessible to Claude, allowing actions like sending Slack messages, generating charts, and accessing cloud files. The feature is available to Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise subscribers and is not available to free users. Integrations follow the Model Context Protocol, an open standard introduced in 2024, and mirror a similar Apps system from another provider. Integration with Claude Cowork will enable agent-driven multi-stage tasks that touch cloud files and ongoing projects, with apps support coming soon.
