Anthropic adds Claude connector observability, submission

By providing first-party observability and an in-app submission portal, Anthropic is treating MCP tools as first-class citizens, laying the groundwork for a robust developer ecosystem that can compete directly with OpenAI's GPT Store. Providing detailed per-tool telemetry is a massive upgrade for developers trying to debug complex multi-step agent actions.

* Per-tool error breakdowns and latency tracking solve a major pain point in agent development, where tool failure is often silent or difficult to diagnose.

* Integrating directory submission directly inside the Claude app will drastically lower friction, driving faster expansion of the connector ecosystem.

* Segmenting usage across surfaces like Claude Code and Cowork helps developers tailor their tools specifically for terminal-based developers versus enterprise knowledge workers.
