Anthropic launches submission portal for Claude AI plugins and connectors

Anthropic has officially launched a submission portal for developers to create and integrate plugins and connectors for its Claude AI model. This initiative, confirmed by multiple reports and a first-party announcement from partner Informatica, aims to significantly expand Claude's functionality. While some outlets frame this development as transforming Claude into an "AI marketplace," the core fact of the portal's launch and the availability of partner integrations is established. Developers on paid Claude plans can submit plugins, which are then scanned for security. One report claimed over 2,000 plugins and connectors are already available or targeted, a figure not corroborated by other sources.
