Claude React Spectrum (S2) connectorWhat Claude can look up in Adobe's S2 docs.
The Claude React Spectrum (S2) connector exposes 6 tools: 6 read, 0 write, 0 undocumented. Adobe built it so Claude can browse the public Spectrum 2 documentation while it helps you code: pages, sections, icons, illustrations and style values. It runs in Claude Desktop, no account needed.

Why a front-end dev would want Claude reading the S2 docs
Building a screen with Adobe's Spectrum 2 components means checking react-spectrum.adobe.com while you code. With this connector, Claude can do that lookup in the conversation: you ask how a component works or which icon fits, and it calls tools that read the documentation content Adobe publishes on that site.
Answers grounded in the current docs. You ask about a component: Claude can call list_s2_pages to find the right page, get_s2_page_info to see its sections, then get_s2_page to read just the part that matters.
The right icon, by name. You need an icon or an illustration for a screen. search_s2_icons and search_s2_illustrations take one or more search terms and return the matching names from the S2 icon and illustration sets.
Style values from the source. When you're unsure what a style macro property allows, get_style_macro_property_values lists the values it accepts, with expanded color and spacing lists where they apply.
Adobe marks all six tools as read-only. They read the documentation content Adobe publishes at react-spectrum.adobe.com, and nothing runs on its own when Adobe ships a new release. If you're comparing ways to plug apps into AI, our Integrations hub lists the platforms we cover.
Five words before you install
Claude's vocabulary for this connector, in one minute.
- Connector
- The link you set up once so Claude can use an outside service while it answers. Here the service is Adobe's public docs.
- Tool
- One named job the connector lets Claude do, like reading a page. Claude picks the ones it needs; the directory sheet lists them.
- Authorization
- The access you grant on a service's own screen. Granted once, per person, and taken back the same way.
- Approval
- The confirmation Claude waits for before it changes something in an account, shown in the chat at the moment it matters.
- MCP
- The shared standard connectors are built on: it's what lets an assistant like Claude talk to an outside service.
Install the React Spectrum (S2) connector in three steps
- 01
Find it in Claude Desktop
Open Claude Desktop settings, go through Customize then Connectors, and search for React Spectrum (S2). It's a desktop extension, installed on Claude Desktop. On a Team or Enterprise workspace, an Owner or Primary Owner turns it on first.
- 02
Start the install from its row
Hit Connect on the extension's line and follow the prompts. The Disconnect button on the same line removes it later. Adobe describes the content as its public React Spectrum documentation.
- 03
Read any permission screen
Read any permission screen before you accept it. That screen belongs to the service, not to Claude, and it sets how far access goes. Whatever happens next, Claude works with the rights of the person who connected it and nothing more.
The 6 tools, grouped by what they do
React Spectrum (S2) gives Claude 6 tools: 6 that read your account, 0 that change something in it.
One group only: Adobe marks all six as read-only, and every one of them looks something up in the public S2 docs. Names stay exactly as Claude shows them.

What Claude reads (6)
6 toolsSix lookups across pages, sections, icons, illustrations and style values, none of which change anything.
list_s2_pages
Gives Claude the full table of contents of the S2 documentation, so it knows which pages exist before opening one.
get_s2_page_info
Returns one page's short description plus the list of its sections. Claude sees how the page is organized without pulling all of its text.
get_s2_page
Pulls a page's full content in markdown, or only one section when Claude names it. That keeps the answer focused on the part you asked about.
search_s2_icons
Searches the S2 workflow icon set with one or more terms and hands back the names that match. The search covers the workflow icon set.
search_s2_illustrations
Looks through the S2 illustrations by keyword and returns matching illustration names, from one or more search terms. Like the icon search, it accepts several terms at once.
get_style_macro_property_values
Tells Claude which values a given S2 style macro property allows, with expanded color and spacing lists where they apply.
What Claude asks you before acting
By default, Claude stops and asks before any action it takes on an account for you. No source describes a confirmation tied to any of these six tools, which Adobe marks as read-only.
On Team and Enterprise, workspace owners decide whether members may let some actions through without being asked every time. They can also cap what a connector may do for the whole organization, for example keep reading and close writing, and nobody gets around that from their own account. Claude works with the rights of whoever installed it, nothing more. Here, the tools read the documentation content published at react-spectrum.adobe.com.
Which plans it's available on
None of the 819 sheets in the official directory shows availability by plan. Connector by connector, that answer isn't published anywhere, which is a real gap in the catalog.
What is published is the general rule: desktop extensions like this one install on Claude Desktop, while remote connectors are open to all users on Claude, Cowork, Claude Desktop and mobile. On Team and Enterprise, an Owner or Primary Owner first enables the connector for the organization. For this one's current status, check its sheet in the official directory.
Where this connector stops
A connector isn't an automation. Claude calls these tools while it answers you, and nothing fires when Adobe updates a page.
The tool list is an observed floor, not a promise: an administrator can open actions that no public sheet shows. The directory's verification badge isn't a security audit, and Anthropic notes on every sheet that it doesn't choose the tools a publisher exposes. Only Adobe documents this connector; no Claude help article covers it. The tools on the directory sheet are the reference for this page, and Adobe's package version 1.2.1 was read for this review.
