Anthropic launches marketplace with more than 2,000 Claude add-ons

Anthropic, the company behind the AI chatbot Claude, has launched a new marketplace. It brings together more than 2,000 add-ons that companies and developers can use to expand what Claude can do.

The marketplace, called Claude Marketplace, went live on September 23, 2026. It is divided into three parts: connectors and plugins, which are technical connections to other programs; agents and products, where you can buy ready-made AI solutions built on Claude; and service partners, who can help companies get started.

In short, a connector is a bridge between Claude and another program, for example your email or a project management tool. With a connector, Claude can pull information directly from that program and use it in its answers, without you having to copy data back and forth yourself.

Among the companies that already have connections ready at launch are Google, Microsoft, Atlassian, Notion and Salesforce. On the list of ready-made AI products built on Claude you will find Cursor, Lovable and Snowflake, among others. Large consulting firms such as Deloitte, Accenture and Boston Consulting Group appear as service partners that can help companies adopt the technology.

Anthropic has at the same time opened the doors to outside developers. They can build their own add-ons using a technical standard called MCP (Model Context Protocol) as well as so-called Agent Skills, and then submit them via a new submission portal that became available on September 25.

For regular users and businesses, the launch means it becomes easier to find and start using ready-made AI tools without having to build them from scratch. It resembles the development seen with app stores on mobile phones, where third-party developers can offer their solutions to a broad user base.

What it means for you

If you already use Claude at work, you can now connect it directly to programs like Google, Microsoft or Salesforce, so you don't have to copy data manually. Check whether your company's own tools are available as a connector, and try connecting one of them. If you are a developer, you can build and submit add-ons to the marketplace yourself.
