Anthropic is enhancing its AI assistant, Claude, with the launch of new Integrations and an upgraded Advanced Research mode. These updates aim to make Claude a more versatile tool for both business workflows and in-depth investigations. Integrations allow Claude to connect directly to external applications and tools, enabling it to assist employees with work tasks and access extensive context across platforms. This expansion builds upon the Model Context Protocol (MCP), making it easier for developers to create secure connections between Claude and various apps.

The initial wave of integrations includes support for popular services like Jira, Confluence, Zapier, Cloudflare, Intercom, Asana, Square, Sentry, PayPal, Linear, and Plaid, with promises of more to come, including Stripe and GitLab. By connecting to these tools, Claude gains access to company-specific data such as project histories, task statuses, and organizational knowledge. This deep context allows Claude to become a more informed collaborator, helping users execute complex projects with expert assistance at every step.

The Advanced Research mode represents a significant overhaul of Claude's research capabilities. When activated, Claude breaks down complex queries into smaller components and investigates each part thoroughly before compiling a comprehensive, citation-backed report. This feature searches the web, Google Workspace, and connected integrations, providing users with detailed reports that include links to the original sources. These new features are available in beta for users on Claude’s Max, Team, and Enterprise plans, with web search now globally live for all paid Claude users.
