Anthropic has just announced a new Claude Marketplace, and it brings all AI-related tools into one place, including plugins, connectors, agents, and more.
Claude's marketplace is already public, and Anthropic says it's already offering more than 2,000 connectors and plugins.
These plugins or connectors are available from companies like Atlassian, Google, Microsoft, Notion, Salesforce, and others, so it's not just Anthropic filling up the marketplace.
Anthropic is also allowing companies to buy Claude-powered agents and products from partners such as CrowdStrike, Cursor, Harvey, Legora, Lovable, and Snowflake.
In a blog post, Anthropic noted that Claude Marketplace also includes consulting and systems integration partners.
This includes Accenture, Boston Consulting Group, and Deloitte, for companies that want help deploying Claude across their organization.
Claude has always allowed users to connect more of the apps they already use, but having a marketplace similar to the Play Store allows you to go beyond basic integrations.
Anthropic also wants developers to build for Claude
Having Microsoft or Google's support alone may not be enough for the marketplace to succeed, and we have seen similar problems when OpenAI launched an apps marketplace. It didn't work out, and Anthropic wants to avoid that mistake by allowing anybody to publish their products.
If you're a developer, you can create connectors and plugins using Model Context Protocol (MCP) and Agent Skills, while companies selling Claude-powered software can apply to have their products listed.
Anthropic says the goal is to make it easier for teams to discover products that already work with Claude, while giving developers and partners a direct way to reach existing Claude customers.
In a way, Anthropic is building a Google Play Store for AI-related features, but only time will tell if it works out.
You can try Claude's marketplace on Anthropic's website.
