Anthropic details checklist for Claude Connectors Directory submissions

Anthropic has released a detailed checklist for developers submitting servers to its Connectors Directory, emphasizing security and proper tool annotation. The guidelines require developers to separate read and write operations into distinct tools, provide clear titles and descriptions for each, and ensure error messages are informative rather than generic. Additionally, submissions must include essential components like an HTTPS URL, OAuth 2.0 if applicable, public documentation, a privacy policy, and a support contact. AI

IMPACT Developers can now better prepare their integrations for Anthropic's Claude Connectors Directory, improving the quality and security of available tools.
