Why it matters
Anthropic is pushing Claude from a chat window that reads other services into a workspace where the app itself runs, which puts the AI and the user on the same editing screen instead of passing files back and forth.
Key Facts
- Anthropic announced the expanded Interactive Connectors feature on November 10, 2026.
- The feature opens the full editing screens of external apps inside Claude, beside the chat or full screen.
- Supported apps include Adobe, Notion, Box, Confluence, HubSpot, Asana, Canva, Carta, Dropbox, monday.com, Smartsheet, Vercel and Webflow.
- Edits made by Claude are approved through the same mechanism as the existing Connectors.
- The feature uses MCP Apps, an extension of the Model Context Protocol.
Users can edit photos, PDFs and documents beside the chat, or ask Claude to make the changes and approve them.
The feature builds on Interactive Connectors, which Anthropic expanded in 2026 to show small operation screens inside the chat. Those panels could not open an app's entire editing screen. The new version can, either beside the conversation or full screen.
Approvals run through the same mechanism as the existing Connectors, and changes appear on the app's screen. The underlying technology is MCP Apps, an extension of the Model Context Protocol that lets AI services display and operate external app interfaces. Users can also pin frequently used apps to the Claude sidebar and open them without typing an instruction.

- Notion: create documents and databases, then edit them on the same screen
- Box: modify files and compare before and after before accepting changes
