Anthropic's Claude connector development requires passing network, OAuth, and design review gates

Developing a connector for Anthropic's Claude requires navigating a four-gate approval process beyond core business logic. The first gate ensures Anthropic's infrastructure can reach the connector, checking for globally routable IP addresses and correct DNS records. The second gate focuses on OAuth client identity, ensuring Claude can obtain a client ID, either through dynamic registration or Client Identity Management Domain (CIMD). The third gate involves a review of the tool's design, requiring separate tools for read and write operations and clear descriptions, with submission only available to Team or Enterprise plan users.
