Common connectors used with Claude for M365 include S&P Global, LSEG, and Daloopa for financial data, plus any custom connectors your organization has enabled.Skills
Skills you’ve enabled in your Claude settings are available in all Claude for M365 add-ins. Claude applies relevant Skills automatically based on what you’re doing. You can also invoke a Skill directly: type/ in the sidebar to see
Skills available for the app you’re in, then select one, such as
/deck-check in PowerPoint. Skills that aren’t relevant to the current
app are excluded from this list.
