Claude Marketplace opens its shelf to outside builders

On September 23 Anthropic put three kinds of listings into a single Claude Marketplace, according to its post on X. The first is connectors and plugins such as Slack and Notion. The second is agents and products sold by companies like Cursor and CrowdStrike. The third is service partners like Accenture and Deloitte. The same post points builders to a Claude blog post on how to list their own tools, agents or services.

Connectors make up most of the catalog. The marketplace page says “over 2,000 connectors and plugins” are available, with Google Drive, Gmail, Figma, HubSpot and Asana listed next to Slack and Notion. They are built on MCP and Agent Skills, so Claude works with live data and workflows inside those apps instead of reading static documents passed into a chat.

The second lane is the one with a billing mechanism. Anthropic’s page describes it as “Legal, finance, and engineering tools powered by Claude, that can count toward your existing Anthropic commitment”, and lists Checkmarx, Chainguard and Cyera as examples. A customer with committed Anthropic spend can put part of that commitment toward these products, which means no separate contract or billing relationship for each tool. The marketplace launched with exactly this model: it opened on March 6 with six partners, GitLab and Snowflake among them.

The page closes with a call to “Publish a connector, list an agent or product”, aimed at anyone building for Claude. Anthropic hasn’t said how listings are vetted or whether sellers pay a fee.

The third lane is a tiered directory. The page calls these firms “Consulting partners and system integrators from the Claude Partner Network” and labels them by tier: Accenture and Deloitte are “Global Premier”, while Caylent and Slalom Consulting are “Preferred”.
