Anthropic Launches In-Chat Apps for Claude Built on Open MCP

Built on the open Model Context Protocol, the update positions Claude as an in‑chat hub for enterprise workflows.

Overview

  • Paid Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise users on web and desktop can enable the new interactive apps now via the claude.ai directory, with free tiers excluded.
  • Launch partners include Asana, Figma, Slack, Canva, Box, Amplitude, Hex, monday.com, and Clay, with Salesforce integrations planned next.
  • The apps render live interfaces inside conversations so users can draft Slack messages, edit Figma or Canva content, manage Asana tasks, and explore analytics without switching tabs.
  • The capability uses the new MCP Apps extension, which is open to other hosts; support is reported in Goose and VS Code Insiders and is expected to reach ChatGPT this week.
  • Anthropic highlights guardrails such as sandboxed iframes, host-reviewed HTML, auditable UI messages, and user approvals; apps are not yet available inside Claude Cowork, with integration slated to follow.
