# Claude Connectors

> Router skill for Claude Connectors (the user-facing MCP integration surface on claude.com), Claude Desktop extensions (MCPB packaging), MCP Apps for Claude Desktop with their visual + interaction design guidelines, the directory of pre-built integrations (GitHub, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Slack, …), the user-facing Agent Skills surface, and the user-facing Plugins surface. Use when the user asks about: enabling a connector in the Claude app, building a custom connector, packaging a Desktop extension (MCPB), MCP Apps visual / interaction design rules, submitting to the connectors directory, OAuth + token handling for connectors, the GitHub / Google / Microsoft / Slack connector integrations, authoring user-installable Skills, or installing plugins via the Claude app. Skip: low-level MCP protocol spec (use mcp-spec), MCP servers run by Claude Code CLI (use claude-code), MCP connector exposed by the API (use anthropic-platform-features → SKILL-agents-and-tools).
