Latest update (11-10 13:51): Anthropic says MCP Apps run in any AI application supporting the extension

Overview: Anthropic says Claude can now open supported connected tools beside a conversation or in full screen, and make changes directly inside them. Users approve Claude's actions the same way they approve any connector, and changes appear live in the tool. The feature rolls out on the web and in the Claude desktop app on all plans, as part of the new Claude experience that combines chat and Cowork, and appears once an account is updated or an organization enables it.

A follow-up from ClaudeDevs says Claude now supports more of the MCP Apps extension, including app tools and embedded sites, so a full app can run inside Claude. Interactive connectors can also open the full versions of tools from Adobe, Atlassian, and Box beside the conversation. Anthropic says an MCP App ships with its MCP server, so it can run in any AI application that supports the extension, not only Claude. Developers can use the MCP Apps documentation to start building, and Anthropic says developers can also serve a full website inside Claude and give Claude tools to act on what appears on screen.
