Anthropic shipped nine new connectors on April 28 that wire Claude directly into creative software, including Adobe Creative Cloud, Blender, Autodesk Fusion, Ableton Live, SketchUp, Splice, Affinity by Canva, and Resolume's Arena and Wire. Details are in the company's launch post.
Adobe gets the broadest connector, reaching more than 50 tools across Photoshop, Premiere, Illustrator, Firefly, Lightroom, and InDesign, per Anthropic's own count. Autodesk Fusion subscribers can build and edit 3D models from chat. Splice exposes its royalty-free sample catalog inside Claude. Ableton's connector grounds answers in Live and Push documentation rather than driving the DAW directly.
The Blender integration is the technically interesting one. Blender's developers built it on the Model Context Protocol, the same open standard Anthropic uses elsewhere, which means other LLMs can plug into Blender too. Anthropic also joined the Blender Development Fund as a Corporate Patron, the foundation's top published tier.
How well this works in production isn't clear yet. Connectors landed in the past 24 hours and reviews are thin. Pricing and plan availability weren't broken out in the announcement.
Bottom Line
The Blender connector runs on Model Context Protocol, so other LLMs can plug into the 3D suite alongside Claude.
