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 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, letting users explore and understand complex setups and more easily 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, now officially available for Claude. For example, 3D artists can use the Blender connector to analyze and debug entire scenes, or build custom scripts to batch‑apply changes to objects. Using Blender’s Python API, the connector lets Claude add new tools directly to Blender’s interface.

Anthropic is also a patron of the Blender Development Fund, supporting the free, open‑source 3D creation suite. Because Blender uses MCP, other large language models can connect to Blender as well.

The release follows the recent arrival of Claude Opus 4.7, Anthropic’s latest model for advanced software engineering, and the addition of a routines feature to the redesigned Claude Code experience. In the same week, Claude also gained connectors for Spotify and many other services.
