Claude integrates with 8 creative tools including Blender, Adobe, and Autodesk, with the official Blender team personally developing the connector.

AIMPACT News, April 29 (UTC+8): According to Beating monitoring, Anthropic has released a batch of creative tool connectors (connectors), enabling Claude to directly control professional software that designers and musicians use in their day-to-day work. The first batch of 8 connectors covers four areas: 3D modeling, visual design, music production, and live performance. Partners include Blender, Adobe, Autodesk, Ableton, Splice, Affinity by Canva, Resolume, and SketchUp. Their capabilities differ. The Adobe connector links more than 50 tools under Creative Cloud, including Photoshop, Premiere, and Express; Autodesk Fusion allows users to create and modify 3D models using natural language; the Blender connector is developed by the official Blender team, based on the MCP protocol, and other large models can also call it; the Ableton connector integrates with the official documentation for Live and Push; Splice lets musicians search a royalty-free sample library directly within Claude conversations; and the Resolume connector allows real-time natural-language control of VJ performance visuals.

Anthropic also joined the Blender Development Fund as a Corporate Patron, contributing at least €240,000 per year (about $281,000), alongside sponsors such as Netflix, Epic, and Wacom. In addition, Anthropic has partnered with three institutions—the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), the Reigreen School of Art and Design, and Goldsmiths, University of London—to launch AI creativity courses.
