Anthropic launched 16 new connectors for Claude that enable the AI assistant to integrate with third-party services including Spotify, Uber Eats, and TurboTax.
Available Connectors
The new integrations span multiple categories. For food and dining, Claude now connects with Uber Eats, Instacart, and Resy for delivery orders and restaurant reservations. The Spotify connector provides music and podcast recommendations while supporting Spotify Connect to move playback between devices.
The TurboTax integration, which has been available for some time according to Anthropic, allows Claude to provide "real-time tax estimates and instant refund projections" using TurboTax's core framework. Intuit states the connector can assist with tax preparation but cannot fully complete tax returns.
The complete list of new Claude connectors:
- AllTrails
- Audible
- Booking.com
- Instacart
- Intuit Credit Karma
- Intuit TurboTax
- Resy
- Spotify
- StubHub
- Taskrabbit
- Thumbtack
- TripAdvisor
- Uber
- Uber Eats
- Viator
All 16 connectors are available now, with Anthropic stating "more on the way."
What This Means
These connectors position Claude similarly to Google's Gemini connected apps, allowing AI assistants to take actions across multiple services rather than just providing information. The breadth of integrations—from entertainment to financial services—indicates Anthropic is pursuing a platform strategy where Claude becomes an interface layer between users and their existing service subscriptions. The TurboTax integration is particularly notable as it represents one of the first mainstream tax preparation AI integrations, though Intuit's restriction preventing full tax return completion suggests regulatory and liability concerns remain significant barriers for AI in financial applications.
