Claude Connectors

How to connect Claude to the tools you already use. We explained the difference between MCP (the open standard) and connectors (the implementations you actually install), where they run across Claude.ai, Desktop, Code, and the API, and how we use them day to day.

Three live demos showed Claude reading and writing Notion tasks, triaging Help Scout tickets, and chaining connectors together to turn a mailbox of tickets into a structured Google Sheet — all from plain-English prompts. We closed on safety, permissions, and how to get started this week.
