It's been a wild journey of us Anthropic trying to convince people to adopt MCP just a couple of months ago to OpenAI and many others now adopting it. Another huge vote of confidence for MCP becoming the world's standard.

Zapier MCP is now connected to Claude. That means you can plug Claude into 8,000+ apps and 30,000+ actions using Zapier. Here are a few things you can now ask Claude to do: * Pull CRM data before a sales call * Assign tasks in Asana or Jira * Update spreadsheets across tools *

Two big updates to claude dot ai today: 1. Integrations using remote MCP is finally here 2. A more advanced version of Research is out Let's walk through them:

You can now give Claude access to any remote MCP server! This was the most fun project I've ever gotten to work on. Remote servers are the next phase of MCP - we're excited to kickstart this ecosystem today.

Wow, Claude.ai now natively supports GitMCP! 🚀 Check out this example with React Router docs. How to add any GitMCP integration: 1. In “Profile > Integrations” click “Add more” 2. Add any repo's GitMCP server by replacing github.com with

a server URL is all you need

Introducing the next generation: Claude Opus 4 and Claude Sonnet 4. Claude Opus 4 is our most powerful model yet, and the world’s best coding model. Claude Sonnet 4 is a significant upgrade from its predecessor, delivering superior coding and reasoning.

the return of Opus 😎

Remote MCP servers, now on Claude Pro! Research can also use all the tools from remote MCP servers to search over your favorite apps + internal knowledge.

Let me pitch you Skills: - They allow anyone to customize agents with a simple primitive — files - They give us continuous learning until continuous learning arrives - They are powerful, composable, and sufficiently AGI-pilled - you can now say “probably a skill issue” at work

Today we're introducing Skills in claude dot ai, Claude Code, and the API. Skills let you package specialized knowledge into reusable capabilities that Claude loads on demand as agents tackle more complex tasks. Here's how they work and why they matter for the future of agents:

Teach Claude your Notion playbook. With Notion Skills, you can bundle instructions, scripts, and resources into one file — ready to use across Claude, Claude Code, and the API.

Claude Skills are awesome, maybe a bigger deal than MCP simonwillison.net/2025/Oct/16/cl…

Skills allow you to extend Claude Code in new ways using pre-packaged instructions and code. For example, add the docx skill to let Claude Code create word documents. I think skills make Claude Code even better as a general purpose agent, I'm excited to see how you use them!

Claude + skills (canvas-design) made me this lovely coffee table book... think I'm gonna have to cmd+p this 🤓

Anthropic has a history of releases interesting things quietly & without much non-technical explanation. It happened again. As Simon says, Claude Skills are a big deal, representing both an easy path for workable agents & a step forward in what AI can do. simonwillison.net/2025/Oct/16/cl…

As AI agents get better at computer and tool use, or writing code on the fly for a task, we're going to be able to solve much broader domains of knowledge work. Here's an example of Box AI with the new Claude Skills to generate a clean powerpoint file from existing data.
