A new directory of tools that integrate with Claude has been launched, enabling users to connect the AI to services such as Notion, Canva, Stripe, and local desktop applications like Figma and Prisma. This connectivity allows Claude to access the same tools, data, and context as users, enhancing its capability from being a mere assistant to an informed AI collaborator. By connecting with tools like Linear, Claude can pull actual data to perform tasks like generating release notes, turning discussions into organized Notion roadmaps, creating Canva posts from creative briefs, transforming Figma files into code, and managing payments with Stripe. Users can explore and connect to these tools through the directory available on the Claude website, with local desktop extensions accessible via the Claude Desktop app and remote app connectors available to paid plan users.
