Anthropic MCP connector

Updated 

Anthropic is the API platform behind Claude, Anthropic's family of AI models, for generating messages and managing conversational workloads. The Anthropic MCP connector allows AI agents to create messages, count message tokens, and process large volumes of requests through message batching. It also supports discovering and inspecting available Claude models, tracking and canceling batch jobs, and retrieving batch results for downstream workflows.

Authentication type

  • API Key - Requires a static API key to be configured before the agent can connect to the service.
