Claude connectors let Claude search, read, and interact with the apps you already use. Instead of switching between your inbox, calendar, and restaurant apps, you can ask Claude to find the information you need in a single chat, saving you time and effort.
In this guide, we’ll explore the available Claude connectors, what Claude can access through each one, and what it cannot do. For example, even when Gmail is connected, Claude cannot delete your emails. With that in mind, let’s start by looking at how to connect apps to Claude.
How to connect a Claude connector
Connectors are available on all plans, and mobile support is still in beta. On Team and Enterprise plans, an owner has to enable connectors for the organization first.
- Click a connect link in the entry you want. It opens the connector in Claude.
- Click Connect, then sign in to that app.
- In a chat, click +, choose Connectors, and switch on the connector.
If the link doesn’t open the connector, go to Customize > Connectors, click +, and browse. Menu names can change, so look for the closest match.
Is it safe? Privacy and permissions
Connectors can read and change things in your accounts, so check the permission rules before you connect one.
- Claude checks with you before it books or buys. Anthropic says Claude is designed to ask first.
- Gmail and Drive ask before the changes that matter. Claude asks before it sends, replies to, or forwards an email. It asks before it shares, moves, or trashes a Drive file.
- Connected apps stay out of your other chats. Anthropic says a connected app can’t see your other Claude conversations, and its data isn’t used to train models.
- You can disconnect any time. Remove a connector under Customize > Connectors.
- Developers control the tools. Anthropic doesn’t control which tools a developer offers and can’t verify that they work as intended. Connect only apps from developers you trust.
1. Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Drive
These are three separate connectors, and they work best together. I’d start with Gmail if your inbox is where you need the most help. Ask Claude to find the email about your dentist appointment and add it to your calendar, or to find a 30-minute slot next week that works for you and a colleague. You sign in to each one with your own Google account.
Claude can see attachment details in Gmail but can’t open the attachments, so save an important file to Drive first. Drive skips images inside documents. The Calendar listing doesn’t say whether changes need your approval, so check the event after Claude makes one. On a work Google account, an admin may need to mark the Claude app as trusted if Google blocks access.
Connect: Gmail · Google Calendar · Google Drive
2. Notion
If your plans and meeting notes live in Notion, Claude can search your workspace, find the page where a decision was made, and create or update pages and databases from a chat. Try: “Find the meeting notes where we picked the launch date, and add the action items to the project database.”
You’ll need to sign in and connect a Notion workspace you can access. Claude can’t delete pages through this connector, since its tool list has no delete action. The listing doesn’t name plan or region limits. For Slack, Asana, and Linear, see the work-focused connector list.
Connect: Notion
3. Spotify and Audible
Spotify can search music, create playlists, and tell you what’s playing. Ask for a mood, like “mellow songs for a long drive,” and Claude builds the playlist. Mood-based playlists need Spotify Premium. Sign-in isn’t required, but link your account and Claude can also use your listening history for picks.
Audible recommends audiobooks by genre, mood, or topic, with previews. “Three history audiobooks for beginners, with previews” is a good test. Its listing shows one tool, which only recommends titles, so it won’t buy or play a book for you. You don’t need to sign in. Outside the U.S., it may send you to your local Audible marketplace, and audiobook availability varies by region.
4. Floot
Got an app idea in mind? With Floot, you can turn it into a real, working app right inside Claude. Simply describe what you want, and Floot helps Claude build, test, refine, and publish a full-stack application without requiring you to write code, configure servers, or juggle multiple developer tools.
I like Floot for its all-in-one approach. Your apps come with a real database, user authentication, file storage, email notifications, and hosting built in. Need payments, Google login, or third-party integrations? Floot can assist with that as well.
You can live-preview your app as it takes shape, improve it through natural conversation, and publish it as a web app at its own address or as a mobile app on the Google Play Store and the App Store. Even better, building uses your existing Claude subscription rather than separate per-token AI charges.
Connect: Floot
5. Instacart
Paste in a recipe or ask for a dinner idea, and Claude can search nearby stores, check product availability, and build a cart in Instacart. Ask it to check whether your nearest store has fresh basil before you commit to the recipe.
You’ll need to sign in to Instacart first. The listing doesn’t say whether Claude can check out for you, so look over the cart before you pay. It also doesn’t name the countries or stores it covers.
Connect: Instacart
6. Asana for managing tasks and projects
Asana works well if your team tracks projects there. Claude can find tasks, summarize project status, and create or update assignments. Its interactive board can also appear in the conversation, so you can review tasks without switching apps. Try: Show me the overdue tasks in the product launch project.
Connect: Asana connector.
7. Uber and Uber Eats
For rides, Claude compares fare estimates and arrival times for UberX, UberXL, Comfort, and Black. Ask, “What’s the cheapest ride from the airport to my hotel? Compare UberX and Comfort.” Ride estimates only work between two U.S. locations, and Uber hands every ride request to the Uber app to finish.
Uber Eats searches restaurants and dishes near you, so “noodle places near me” gets you a list to choose from. It covers search and browsing only, with no order step, so you place any order in the Uber Eats app. Neither listing asks you to sign in, and the Uber Eats listing doesn’t name a region.
8. Resy
Resy finds tables at restaurants across the United States, and checks live availability. Ask for “a table for two at 7:30 this Friday in Chicago,” and Claude looks for an open one and can book it. You’ll need to sign in to Resy first. The listing doesn’t say how to change or cancel a reservation, so check that in Resy before you need it.
Connect: Resy
9. AllTrails
AllTrails lists more than 500,000 trails. Ask for “a dog-friendly trail near me,” then ask for the weather on the one you like. If it’s too long, say “shorter” or “more scenic,” and Claude refines the list.
It finds and describes trails only. Its tools don’t save a route or log a hike. You don’t need to sign in, which makes this the easiest one to try first, and the listing doesn’t name Premium or region requirements.
Connect: AllTrails
10. Booking.com, TripAdvisor, and Viator
These three cover different parts of a trip. Booking.com searches stays by destination, price, rating, and amenities. TripAdvisor compares hotels on reviews, ratings, pricing, and nearby attractions. Viator searches tours by destination, dates, price, and category. Try “hotels in Lisbon for two, under $150 a night, with a pool” in Booking.com, then “a half-day boat tour in Lisbon under $100” for Viator.
None of the three asks you to sign in, and the listings don’t name supported regions. Booking.com and TripAdvisor don’t list a booking tool, and Viator’s listing sends you to its app to book, so you finish each reservation on the site or in the app.
Connect: Booking.com · TripAdvisor · Viator
11. Linear for issues and development work
Use Linear if your team tracks product or engineering work there. Claude can search issues, create or update tickets, check project progress, and review cycle work. It is a better fit than Asana if your day revolves around bug reports and development tasks.
Connect: Linear connector.
12. Credit Karma and TurboTax
Credit Karma breaks your credit score into six factors: payment history, credit utilization, credit age, credit mix, new inquiries, and total accounts. It rates each one, so ask, “What’s pulling down my score?” Its one tool reads those factors and lists no way to change them. You sign in to Credit Karma first.
TurboTax’s connector walks through a federal tax estimate and shows the projected refund or amount owed as you enter information. You sign in for that too. The listing covers federal estimates only and doesn’t mention state taxes. It also doesn’t say the connector files a return or name a tax year, so check which year the estimate covers before you trust the number.
Connect: Credit Karma · TurboTax
13. Amplitude and Mixpanel
If your team already tracks app or site behavior in Amplitude or Mixpanel, both connectors let Claude query that data in a chat. Ask either one, “Where do people drop off in our signup funnel this month?” Amplitude’s tools search and retrieve charts, dashboards, experiments, and events. Their names suggest read-only access, though the listing doesn’t confirm it.
Mixpanel runs funnel and retention analyses and can pull session replays, but it can also change things. Its tools edit event metadata, delete tags, and create dashboards, and the listing doesn’t say whether those changes need your approval. You sign in to both, and the listings don’t say which account type you need. Amplitude also lists a separate EU server address, so check which region your data lives in. Neither listing names plan requirements.
14. Atlassian MCP for Jira and Confluence
Atlassian MCP connects Claude to Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket, Loom, and other Atlassian tools using your existing permissions. Ask it to find the project decision in Confluence and the open Jira issues tied to it. Admin settings control which changes Claude can make, so this is best for teams that already use Atlassian.
Connect: Atlassian MCP connector.
Which connectors to start with
Start with whatever you’d use this week. If Gmail runs your day, connect it first and add Calendar and Drive when you need them. If you’re planning a trip, AllTrails is the one to try first, since it needs no sign-in. Add a stay or tour search once you’re comparing options. Teams that live in Notion can connect it alone, and product or marketing teams should pick the analytics tool they already use. For errands, Instacart covers groceries, while Uber and Resy only work for U.S. trips and restaurants. If money is the goal, Credit Karma is the simpler place to begin, and TurboTax is worth connecting only when you need a federal estimate.
Connect two or three, use them for a week, then add more. Once you have 10 or more, Anthropic suggests switching Tool access to On demand, which leaves more room in each chat.
