Claude Plugs Into Your Tools

Claude can now interact directly with Slack, Figma, and Asana from within the chat interface, turning conversations into actions without switching apps. The shift from "AI that answers questions" to "AI that does things in your tools" keeps accelerating.

Anthropic uses Model Context Protocol (MCP) Apps to embed live, interactive instances of third-party tools inside Claude. Ask Claude to create an Asana project from your conversation, and it opens an actual Asana board in the chat where you can review and tweak before committing.

• Figma integration - Generate flow charts, Gantt charts, or diagrams from text descriptions via FigJam. Claude interprets your prompt and creates editable visuals you can refine without leaving the conversation.

• Slack integration - Search past conversations for context, then draft messages that Claude formats to match Slack's interface. Review before posting; no accidental sends to #general.

• Asana integration - Convert brainstorming sessions into projects, tasks, and timelines. Claude structures the work, you approve and assign.

This builds on Cowork's computer control capability we covered previously. Anthropic is steadily expanding from answering to doing, from isolated chat to embedded workflow. Available now for Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise users at claude.ai/directory.
