Anthropic releases 9 Claude connectors for creative tools, including Blender and Adobe

Anthropic is targeting creative professionals with its latest Claude AI update. The company has released nine new Claude connectors that work with creative tools like Blender and more.

Claude AI now integrates with Blender, Affinity, Ableton, and more

“Today, with a coalition of partners including Blender, Autodesk, Adobe, Ableton, and Splice, we’re releasing a set of connectors—tools that let Claude work alongside the software creative professionals rely on, so creatives can extend their reach,” Anthropic announced in a blog post.

These are the nine new Claude connectors shared today by Anthropic:

• Ableton grounds Claude’s answers in official product documentation for Live and Push.
• Adobe for creativity enables users to bring images, videos, and designs to life, drawing from 50+ tools across Creative Cloud apps including Photoshop, Premiere, Express, and more.
• Affinity by Canva automates repetitive production tasks across pro creative workflows – such as batch image adjustments, layer renaming, and file export – and generates custom features directly in the app.
• Autodesk Fusion allows designers and engineers with a Fusion subscription to create and modify 3D models through conversations with Claude.
• Blender offers a natural-language interface to its Python API, allowing users to explore and understand complex setups and making it easier to access Blender’s documentation.
• Resolume Arena and Resolume Wire let VJs and live visual artists control Arena, Avenue, and Wire in real time through natural language for live performance and AV production.
• SketchUp turns a conversation with Claude into a starting point for 3D modeling—describe a room, a piece of furniture, or a site concept, then open it in SketchUp to refine.
• Splice gives music producers the ability to search its catalog of royalty-free samples from within Claude.

Anthropic is now a Blender Development Fund patron

Anthropic goes deeper on Claude’s new integration with Blender:

The Blender developers have created an MCP connector, which is now officially available for Claude. For example, 3D artists can use the Blender connector to analyze and debug entire Blender scenes, or build custom scripts to batch-apply changes to objects in a scene. And using Blender’s Python API, the connector lets Claude add new tools directly to Blender’s interface.

The company also says it is now a Blender Development Fund patron, supporting the free, open-source 3D creation suite. Anthropic also notes that since Blender is using MCP, other large language models can connect to Blender now as well.

Today’s release follows the recent arrival of Claude Opus 4.7, Anthropic’s latest model for advanced software engineering. Claude also recently gained a routines feature as part of the redesigned Claude Code experience.

In addition to today’s creative tool connectors, Claude also added connectors for Spotify and a lot more services last week.
