You can let connectors access your apps, retrieve data and take actions within that service. In addition to new connectors, Anthropic has changed how connectors appear in conversations. Claude will now dynamically suggest a specific connector based on the conversation&#8217;s context, so you shouldn&#8217;t need to ask.
