Service eligibility and regional restrictions
PuppyIP serves only compliant overseas businesses and their authorized personnel. Proxy services are not available in mainland China. The service may only be used for lawful business activities outside mainland China. Use of this service within mainland China is prohibited.
Hosting a proxy IP or server overseas does not change these restrictions. The service must not be provided to end users in mainland China through relaying, forwarding, sharing or resale. Before use, read the Terms of Service.
Key Takeaways
- Supported connectors can open as full apps beside a conversation or full screen, and can be opened from navigation and pinned to a sidebar.
- The feature is rolling out to all plans on the web and in Claude Desktop with the new Claude experience; an organization can also enable it.
- Older in-chat interactive connectors may still work on mobile, but the new side panel, full-site views, and navigation launch are not yet available on Claude Mobile.
- Connector developers decide which views and actions are supported. Existing connector permissions and approvals still apply, and organization owners can disable the tool calls that render interactive views.
What changed: from a small chat view to a full app
On November 10, 2026, Anthropic announced that supported connectors can open beside a Claude conversation and expand to full screen. Earlier interactive connectors mostly appeared as compact live views in chat. The new view lets you work in the app without leaving Claude and keep the conversation open.
When supported, Claude can change an open page, row, or file, with changes shown in the app. You can open a connected app from navigation without a prompt and pin it to the sidebar. Developers decide which views and actions each connector provides; not every connector becomes a full app.
The feature is built on MCP Apps, an extension that lets an MCP server bring its interface into an AI application. Claude's support for app tools and embedded sites is still in public preview for developers.
Web, desktop, and mobile: plan scope and rollout
Anthropic says the full-app experience is rolling out to all plans on the web and in Claude Desktop with the new Claude experience. The Help Center says accounts see side panels, full-site views, and navigation launch or pinning when the new experience reaches them or their organization enables it. “All plans” means eligible, not available to every account at once.
Existing interactive connectors can still be used in Claude for iOS and Android, but the Help Center says the new side panel, full-site views, and navigation launch or pinning are not available on Claude Mobile yet. A mobile chat card does not show that the full desktop-style app is supported there.
A connector list does not guarantee every feature is available
Anthropic's launch post names Asana, Canva, Carta, Dropbox, monday.com, Smartsheet, Vercel, and Webflow as the first group. It also gives examples involving Adobe, Atlassian Confluence, Box, HubSpot, and Notion, from image and PDF work to document collaboration, file revisions, sales follow-ups, and creating databases. Each connector determines its actual views and actions.
The announcement says Figma, Harvey, and Shopify are building integrations. The Help Center also lists Figma for design review and annotation among interactive connectors. This does not establish that every new Figma view has reached every account. Check the directory's Interactive badge and the actions actually available; an embedded view is not proof of full-site support.
How to open, pin, and work with an app
In the connector directory, look for the Interactive badge, then connect and authenticate. With the new experience, open a supported app from navigation or ask Claude about a task it handles. A full site or side panel still depends on connector support and rollout. The Help Center says no extra general switch is needed once the connector is enabled.
Work in the app or ask Claude to change its open content. Claude can take only developer-provided actions, using the connector's usual approval flow and permissions you already granted. Pins are saved per browser; a web pin does not automatically appear in Claude Desktop.
Verify the workflow with a small, nonsensitive sample
Suppose a team wants to organize Asana task statuses. Use a test project with three fictional tasks and no business data. Open it through the connected account, ask Claude for a status summary, then request one clear change, such as marking only the first test task complete.
Check the confirmation for the exact task and action, then approve. Verify that its status changed and the other tasks did not. A text summary without an app change is not proof of a saved edit. This is a low-risk suggestion, not a report that this article tested an account or connector.
Permissions, administrator controls, and missing views
The Help Center says interactive connectors use the permissions already granted to the connected service, and the third-party developer is responsible for its content. Purchases and financial transactions through connector chat views are not supported.
Team and Enterprise owners can disable the tool calls that render interactive views in Organization settings > Connectors; text tools remain available. Individuals can adjust connector tools in Search and tools.
If a view is missing, check that the connector is enabled in the conversation, your account has the new experience, and your organization allows its tools. The Help Center suggests trying a new conversation with a relevant request, then refreshing the page or restarting Claude Desktop if needed. Anthropic has not published a full country list or a schedule for every connector's full-site view.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can any MCP server show a full app in Claude?
No. An MCP server must implement an MCP Apps interface and the relevant app capabilities. Claude's support for app tools and embedded sites remains in public preview for developers; connecting an ordinary MCP tool does not mean it has a full app interface.
Can the same MCP App run in AI applications other than Claude?
Yes, if the other AI application supports the MCP Apps extension. Anthropic describes it as an open extension that is not limited to Claude; this does not mean every AI application already supports it.
Does my Claude plan include a third-party app's plan or usage fees?
Anthropic's November 10 announcement and this Help Center article do not list third-party app pricing. Check the provider's account, plan, and billing terms instead of assuming those costs are included with a Claude plan.
