Claude Interactive Connectors Release

On Nov 10, 2026 Anthropic let connected apps open as full apps inside Claude, beside the chat or full screen, with Claude making changes in the open page, row or file. It is rolling out on the web and the desktop app on all plans, Free included, at no extra charge.

Since Nov 10, 2026, an app you have connected to Claude can open as the full app inside Claude, beside the conversation or full screen, and Claude can make changes in the page, row or file you have open. Anthropic says it is rolling out on the web and in the Claude desktop app on all plans, and states no price for it; connectors themselves are on every plan, Free included (read Nov 10, 2026). Until now an interactive connector drew a small live view of a tool in the chat (Connectors). You see the new version once your account is updated to the combined chat and Cowork experience, or once your organization turns it on.

What changed

All of this is Anthropic's account, from its announcement. No independent test had been published when this page was written on Nov 10, 2026.

The full app, not a preview. Where a connector supports it, the tool opens beside the conversation or expands to full screen. For Confluence and Notion, Anthropic says the full editor opens, signed in to your own account.
Claude works in what is open. Ask for a change and Claude makes it in the open page, row or file, and the change shows in the tool as it happens. These actions need the same approval as the connector's other actions.
No prompt needed to open a tool. You can open a connected tool directly and ask Claude for help from that screen.
Pinning. Tools you use often pin to the sidebar and the "+" menu, next to artifacts.

The apps Anthropic names:

App	What Anthropic says you can do in Claude
Adobe	Retouch photos and add effects; highlight, edit and redact PDFs
Atlassian	Write and edit Confluence pages in a side panel and review changes live
Box	Revise a file and compare versions side by side before keeping changes
HubSpot	Prioritize pipeline tasks and follow-ups, then act on them
Notion	Create or edit docs and databases while chatting

Asana, Canva, Carta, Dropbox, monday.com, Smartsheet, Vercel and Webflow are listed as a launch group in the interactive connectors directory, and Anthropic says Figma, Harvey and Shopify are building integrations.

For developers

Interactive connectors run on MCP Apps, an open extension to the Model Context Protocol, so an app built on it can run in any AI application that supports the extension. Anthropic says Claude now supports more of it, including app tools and embedded sites, which is what lets a whole app run inside Claude where MCP Apps used to appear mainly as views in the conversation. These developer capabilities are in public preview, with a getting-started guide.

Prices

Anthropic's announcement states no price, and the plans page, read Nov 10, 2026, lists connectors on every plan: Free ($0), Pro ($20 a month, or $17 on annual billing), Max ($100), Ultra ($200), Team (from $20 a seat) and Enterprise. The connected app's own subscription is separate: opening Notion or Adobe in Claude signs you in to your own account with that service.

Limits and availability

Apps: the web and the Claude desktop app. The announcement does not mention the mobile apps.
Plans: all plans, as part of the combined Claude experience that merges chat and Cowork. It reaches an account when that account is updated or its organization enables it; Anthropic gives no date by which every account has it.
Per connector: only connectors that support it open as full apps. The others work as before.
Organizations: if an organization already allows all of a connector's tools, the new features appear as they roll out. Admins can restrict a connector's tools as they do today.
Status: the announcement does not call the feature a beta or generally available. Only the developer side is labeled, as a public preview.
Not stated: regions, and whether working in an embedded app counts against usage limits differently from an ordinary chat.

The demo moment

Anthropic had posted no launch video for this on its Claude YouTube channel when this page was written on Nov 10, 2026. Vi.ki adds the moment here once the video exists.

What we think

We think at least one of Figma, Harvey and Shopify ships a connector that opens as a full app in Claude before Mar 1, 2027: Anthropic names all three as building one in its announcement, and Figma has had an interactive connector since the first group of Jan 26, 2026.

Confidence: Likely. Check by: Mar 2027.

We think full-app connectors reach the Claude mobile apps before Jun 1, 2027: the first interactive connectors launched on the web and desktop on Jan 26, 2026 and came to mobile on Mar 25, 2026, two months later, though a full editor on a phone screen is a harder fit than a small view.

Confidence: Possible. Check by: Jun 2027.
