5The [Connectors Directory](/docs/connectors/directory) lists connectors from Anthropic and from third-party developers, and each one shows how much Anthropic has reviewed it. Use this page to understand what those labels mean before you connect one.

3131## Directory listing versus custom connectors
3232 
3333The directory is a catalog of connectors, and listing is optional. Connectors in the directory and custom connectors you add yourself use the same technology, so if you have a connector's URL, you can add it as a custom connector whether or not it's in the directory.
3434 
35Listing a connector in the directory makes it discoverable by other people and gives it a review label: a checkmark if Anthropic has verified it, or **Community** if Anthropic has screened it but not reviewed it in depth. Listing doesn't change the tools the connector exposes. [Directory vs custom](/docs/connectors/building/directory-vs-custom) has a detailed comparison.

52If you build connectors and want yours in the directory, start with the [connector pre-submission checklist](/docs/connectors/building/review-criteria) and then [submit your connector](/docs/connectors/building/submission).

5454When you submit a server, Anthropic scans it automatically for policy compliance and, by default, lists it in the directory as a Community connector. Anthropic may then escalate listings flagged as highly useful to Claude users to Verified review, which is higher touch and slower, and in which reviewers run a functional test of each tool. That escalation is assessed automatically. There's no separate application for the **Verified** label, and you don't need to take any action.
