Connect Claude to Your Actual Tools With Anthropic's Connector Gallery

Official connectors for Slack, Google Drive, and more, straight from Anthropic

Real Data, Not Just Chat

By the end of this guide, you'll have connected Claude to a tool you already use — straight from Anthropic's own connector gallery — so it can work with your real data instead of just chat.

Who This Is For

  • You use Claude for work and wish it could see your actual tools, not just text you paste in

  • You've heard Claude can connect to apps like Slack or Google Drive but haven't set one up

  • You want to use Anthropic's official connectors, not a sketchy third-party workaround

  • You work in sales, support, research, or another role with an obvious tool to connect

What You'll Build

Using Anthropic's official connector gallery, you'll have:

  • At least one real connector set up, like Slack, Google Drive, or another tool you use

  • A working sense of what categories of connectors exist — sales, support, data, productivity, and more

  • A habit of checking the gallery as new connectors launch

What You'll Need

  • A Claude.ai account with connector access

  • Login access to the tool you want to connect, like Slack or Google Drive
