Claude now runs interactive apps for your favourite tools—so you can build Asana timelines, draft and send Slack messages, and preview/edit Figma artefacts inside one interface. It’s all powered by Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP), turning Claude into a unified workspace rather than “just a chatbot.”

Key benefits

• Fewer context switches: Open Asana boards, Slack threads, and Figma canvases in-chat; take action immediately.

• Faster hand-offs: Move from idea → task → message → design review within one conversation.

• Admin-friendly roll-out: Asana app available via Claude’s directory; Slack via the Slack Marketplace.

How it works

Interactive apps render live content from services (e.g., Asana projects, Slack channels, Figma files) inside Claude, allowing you to view, edit, and act on real data without switching tabs. MCP “Apps” provide the secure bridge that powers these experiences.

Practical steps

1. Connect apps: In Claude, open the app directory and connect Asana (or ask an admin). For Slack, install the Claude app from Slack Marketplace.

2. Plan in Asana: Ask Claude to create a project with sections and due dates; adjust timelines directly in-chat.

3. Discuss in Slack: Draft channel updates or stakeholder DMs and send them without leaving Claude.

4. Visualise in Figma: Open a referenced file, review frames, and capture feedback alongside tasks and messages.
