The summary
Anthropic has expanded its interactive connectors so Claude can open complete enterprise applications within a chat and make changes, such as editing a Confluence page or updating an Adobe design, after the user approves them. The connectors are built on MCP Apps, which lets existing app interfaces appear in Claude without being rebuilt, and the capability is in public preview and usable by other MCP-compatible clients.
The company says connectors respect each employee's existing access rights, and administrators can limit specific actions, such as allowing Claude to read Slack without sending messages. A new auto-connect beta lets admins enable connectors organization-wide, and Smart Reports offers visibility into usage and spending.
The article also describes Claude Data, now generally available, with certified queries for consistent reporting and live sharing for dashboards, both in beta. Upcoming Claude Meetings, Whiteboards, and Sheets extend delegation beyond engineering, though some features are restricted for certain compliance configurations and the adoption figures cited are unverified.
