Anthropic launched Integrations this month, a new way to connect apps and tools to its AI assistant Claude. It also announced that it has expanded its Advanced Research capability to allow this chatbot to search the web, users’ Google Workspace, and its Integrations. These tools, available in beta for paid users, are part of the company’s effort to compete with Google’s Gemini and OpenAI’s ChatGPT.
In November, Anthropic launched its MCP (Model Context Protocol), an open standard connecting AI apps to tools and data. With Integrations, Claude can work seamlessly with remote MCP servers across web and desktop apps.
Several Integrations from Anthropopic partners, such as Atlassian, Zapier, Cloudflare, Intercom, Square, and PayPal, expand what Claude can do.
For example, the Atlassian Integration lets Claude summarize and create pages in Atlassian’s Confluence workplace software.
