- Claude can now connect to applications such as notion, canvas and stripe
- AI can understand and help with tasks using your real work data.
- Claude’s safe access reduces the need to constantly explain the context to AI
Anthrope has updated Claude with a new important set of tools that allow the IA wizard to integrate directly with several popular software tools, including notion, canvas, stripe, figma, plug and prism. Claude’s new directory of tools means that he does not need to explain what he wishes to click every time he wants to use these tools; Claude can now look at the same information as to help.
Until now, most of the interactions of AI have required copying and pasteing every detail of their project management tool, explaining what is important, clarifying what each task means and verifying that the AI understood. Now you can ask you to do the homework, and Claude will extract the information directly from the relevant tool to handle things.
That may not seem innovative at first sight, but that context gap is where things are generally crushed by asking chatbots to help him. For example, if you are working on the launch of a product in the notion and has a list of things to do, you would normally have to rewrite or load all the information for Claude. Now, once it connects the notion to Claude, the AI can read the documents of its project directly and begin to build timelines and presentation materials that fit the product because it sees what it sees.
Or imagine a small business owner that Stripe uses to manage payments that want a summary that customers pay last week and that still owe their services. Claude can now extract those data directly from Stripe with your permission. And with Canva, a white publication template on social networks can now be completed with a design and copy of Claude based on your report. You describe what you need in simple language, and Claude will do something usable.
Claude connected
These integrations work with something called model context protocol, or MCP. That basically means that Claude can understand and act on the tools he uses without the need for a complete tutorial. Simply connect an application once, and Claude gets safe and limited access to relevant information within it. Do not read your entire entrance tray or download your bank’s history, just what is necessary to help you with the task in question.
You can go to the Claude tools directory and connect any application you already use. If you are in a paid Claude plan, you will get access to remote application connections such as Stripe and notion. Desktop integrations, such as Figma and Socket, are available through the Claude Desktop application.
Other AI tools are trying something similar. Google Gemini appears in Docs and Gmail. Microsoft’s co -pilot is baked in Word and Excel. But Anthrope taking is more about linking what you already do with AI, instead of directly bakinging the AI in those applications.
Of course, this does not make Claude autonomous. You cannot pay your bills or completely run your work. And although Anthrope says that he has designed everything with privacy and security in mind, it is likely that some are cautious, even if he can choose what can access Claude. But for most regular users, this update represents something potentially very useful to stay aware of things. If, as anthropic, it will save time and mean that you do not have to rebuild a lot of tedious paperwork, it is likely to be a very popular characteristic.
