We’re announcing Integrations a powerful new way to connect your favorite apps and tools to Claude. We're also expanding Claude’s Research capabilities with an advanced mode that now searches the web, your Google Workspace, and any connected Integrations. With this update, Claude can research for up to 45 minutes and deliver in-depth, well-cited reports tailored to your needs. Plus, web search is now available globally for all Claude users on paid plans.
Integrations: Connect Claude to Your Work Ecosystem
Last November, we introduced the Model Context Protocol (MCP) an open standard that enables AI systems like Claude to interact with external tools and data. Initially limited to Claude Desktop with local servers, MCP now reaches a whole new level. With Integrations, Claude can connect to remote MCP servers across both desktop and web platforms.
This upgrade unlocks new possibilities for developers and users alike.
- Developers can now build, host, and scale powerful server-based tools that Claude can tap into.
- Users can browse and connect their work tools to Claude, enabling rich context and automation directly in conversation.
Imagine Claude pulling up the latest project timelines from your task manager, fetching insights from CRM tools, or even updating spreadsheets all in response to a natural-language prompt. Whether you're managing deadlines, tracking sales pipelines, or resolving team blockers, Claude becomes a deeply aware assistant that works across your digital workspace.
To kick things off, Claude supports Integrations with some of the most widely used work platforms, and we’re adding more every week. Developers can create custom integrations using our detailed docs or partner platforms like Cloudflare Workers, which simplify authentication and deployment.
Every integration amplifies Claude’s capabilities. Examples include.
- Sales Teams: Automatically retrieve and analyze lead data.
- Product Managers: Generate meeting summaries or roadmaps from Jira and Notion.
- Support Teams: Debug issues using connected logs or ticket systems.
Advanced Research: Smarter, Faster, Deeper
Claude’s upgraded Research mode takes your queries and transforms them into actionable knowledge. By breaking your question into sub-questions and exploring each independently, Claude can compile highly detailed reports in as little as 5 minutes or dive deeper over 45 minutes for more complex topics.
New in this update.
- Claude searches across web content, Google Workspace documents, and now your connected Integrations to find relevant, trusted information.
- All sources are clearly cited so you can verify and trace every insight.
- The results are structured, easy to read, and ready to use perfect for professionals, researchers, analysts, and decision-makers.
Whether you're preparing for a strategy meeting, exploring technical solutions, or staying informed about a fast-moving topic, Claude’s enhanced research frees up your time and boosts the quality of your insights.
With Integrations and Advanced Research, Claude is evolving into an even more powerful teammate one that understands your tools, your tasks, and your goals. This is just the beginning.
