Verified
Anthropic has reviewed this connector for quality and security. Verified connectors show a checkmark next to their name.Community
A third-party developer built this connector. It passed Anthropic’s automated checks, but Anthropic has not reviewed it in depth. Community connectors show a “Community” label in the directory and in Settings > Connectors. Before you connect one, Claude shows a reminder that it has not been reviewed in depth.Custom
You added this connector yourself. Anthropic has not reviewed it. See custom connectors to learn how to add one.The directory is optional
The directory is a catalog, not a separate kind of connector. Connectors in the directory and custom connectors you add yourself use the same technology and work the same way. If you have a connector’s URL, it can be added as a custom connector. A connector does not need to be in the directory for you to use it. Listing a connector in the directory makes it discoverable by other people and gives it a review label (a checkmark if Anthropic has verified it, or “Community” if it passed Anthropic’s automated checks). It does not change what the connector can do. See directory vs custom for a detailed comparison.Advice for all third-party connectors
Whatever the label, this advice applies to any connector built by someone other than Anthropic:- Only connect to servers from developers and organizations you trust.
- A connector’s developer controls which tools it exposes and can change them at any time.
- Anthropic does not run a third-party connector’s servers and does not control how it handles your data.
- Carefully review requested permission scopes during authentication.
- Be aware of prompt injection risks; Claude has built-in protections.
- Monitor for unexpected changes in tool behavior.
