The nine connectors
The full list of creative tool integrations:
- Ableton: Grounds Claude's answers in official documentation for Live and Push
- Adobe: Enables control of 50+ Creative Cloud tools including Photoshop, Premiere, and Express
- Affinity by Canva: Automates batch image adjustments, layer renaming, and file exports
- Autodesk Fusion: Creates and modifies 3D models through conversations for Fusion subscribers
- Blender: Provides natural-language interface to Blender's Python API
- Resolume Arena and Wire: Controls visual performance software in real time via natural language
- SketchUp: Converts conversations into 3D model starting points
- Splice: Searches catalog of royalty-free music samples from within Claude
Blender integration details
The Blender connector, built by Blender developers using MCP, allows 3D artists to analyze and debug entire scenes, build custom scripts to batch-apply changes to objects, and add new tools directly to Blender's interface using its Python API.
Anthropic has become a Blender Development Fund patron. The company notes that because Blender's connector uses MCP, other large language models can also connect to Blender.
What this means
This release represents Anthropic's first major push into vertical-specific integrations for creative professionals. The MCP protocol approach is strategic: by building connectors as open tools rather than proprietary integrations, Anthropic enables other AI models to use the same infrastructure while positioning Claude as the default choice for creative workflows. The Blender partnership is particularly notable—supporting an open-source project while gaining a connector that works with any LLM demonstrates a community-first approach that could accelerate MCP adoption across the creative tools ecosystem.
