--- title: "Best Claude connectors in 2026, by job" url: "https://conecto.chat/guides/best-claude-connectors" description: "23 Claude connectors for running a business, by job: email, files, CRM, payments, accounting, payroll, contracts and support, from Anthropic's own directory." author: "Amelia Cardona Hernandez" author_url: "https://conecto.chat/guides/authors/amelia-cardona-hernandez" publisher: "Conecto" published: 2026-11-08 updated: 2026-11-08 sources_checked: 2026-11-08 standards: "https://conecto.chat/guides/standards" --- # The best Claude connectors in 2026, by job Anthropic's marketplace lists 1,094 Claude connectors, and its top picks start with Google Drive, Gmail, Google Calendar, Canva and Microsoft 365. Below are 23 for running a business, grouped by job. Each one is verified by Anthropic, and all but one are made by the app's own company. We read every connector's page on claude.com on November 8, 2026. Give this to your agent: `Set up Conecto from https://conecto.chat/SKILL.md, then show me what you can run for our business.` ## How we picked Every connector here carries the Anthropic verified label in Claude's directory. That means Anthropic tested its tools for quality and compatibility, and it met Anthropic's directory policy when it was reviewed. Verification isn't a security audit, and the maker controls its tools, which can change after review.[[2]](https://claude.com/docs/connectors/verification) We chose connectors for the work a business runs every week and left out tools made for developers. Conecto is our product. It isn't in Anthropic's directory, so it comes after the list, as a custom connector. ## The list at a glance | Job | Connector | Made by | In the directory since | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Email | Gmail | Google | March 2026[[3]](https://claude.com/marketplace/connectors/gmail) | | Email, files and chat | Microsoft 365 | Anthropic | November 2025[[4]](https://claude.com/marketplace/connectors/microsoft-365) | | Calendar | Google Calendar | Google | March 2026[[5]](https://claude.com/marketplace/connectors/google-calendar) | | Scheduling | Calendly | Calendly | March 2026[[6]](https://claude.com/marketplace/connectors/calendly) | | Files | Google Drive | Google | March 2026[[7]](https://claude.com/marketplace/connectors/google-drive) | | Notes and docs | Notion | Notion | November 2025[[8]](https://claude.com/marketplace/connectors/notion) | | Meeting notes | Granola | Granola | January 2026[[9]](https://claude.com/marketplace/connectors/granola) | | Team chat | Slack | Slack | November 2025[[10]](https://claude.com/marketplace/connectors/slack) | | CRM | HubSpot | HubSpot | November 2025[[11]](https://claude.com/marketplace/connectors/hubspot) | | CRM | Attio | Attio | February 2026[[12]](https://claude.com/marketplace/connectors/attio) | | Payments | Stripe | Stripe | November 2025[[13]](https://claude.com/marketplace/connectors/stripe) | | Payments and invoices | PayPal | PayPal | November 2025[[14]](https://claude.com/marketplace/connectors/paypal) | | Point of sale | Square | Square | November 2025[[15]](https://claude.com/marketplace/connectors/square) | | Bookkeeping | Intuit QuickBooks Labs (beta) | Intuit QuickBooks | October 2026[[16]](https://claude.com/marketplace/connectors/intuit-quickbooks-labs) | | Financial reports | Xero | Xero | April 2026[[17]](https://claude.com/marketplace/connectors/xero) | | Payroll | Gusto | Gusto | February 2026[[18]](https://claude.com/marketplace/connectors/gusto) | | Contracts | Docusign | Docusign | February 2026[[19]](https://claude.com/marketplace/connectors/docusign) | | Customer support | Intercom | Intercom | November 2025[[20]](https://claude.com/marketplace/connectors/intercom) | | Online store | Shopify | Shopify | April 2026[[21]](https://claude.com/marketplace/connectors/shopify) | | Domains and store | Squarespace | Squarespace | October 2026[[22]](https://claude.com/marketplace/connectors/squarespace) | | Projects | Asana | Asana | November 2025[[23]](https://claude.com/marketplace/connectors/asana) | | Design | Canva | Canva | November 2025[[24]](https://claude.com/marketplace/connectors/canva) | | Every other app | Zapier | Zapier | November 2025[[25]](https://claude.com/marketplace/connectors/zapier) | ## Email and calendar ### Gmail Claude searches your messages and reads whole threads, so it can find an email you half remember and sum up a long conversation.

On Team and Enterprise plans, an Owner adds a connector for the organization under Organization settings > Connectors, and each member then connects with their own account.[[26]](https://claude.com/docs/connectors/directory) Members of a Team plan who can't add connectors see a Request button that asks their Owners.[[26]](https://claude.com/docs/connectors/directory) The full steps, including custom connectors, are in [Claude connectors: what they are and how to add one](https://conecto.chat/guides/claude-connectors). ## Questions ### How many connectors does Claude have?
