Story

Anthropic's Marketplace (launched March 6 with Snowflake, GitLab, Harvey, Replit, Lovable) takes zero commission, profiting through increased Claude usage instead. This joins Cursor's Plugin Marketplace, Notion's Custom Agents (21K+ in beta), Superhuman's Agent Store, and Google Workspace Studio (20M+ tasks). Five major platforms built agent distribution layers within six weeks. The universal pattern: MCP-based or MCP-compatible agent distribution. For builders: the window to establish presence across all five stores is now — early movers capture distribution advantage. (Bloomberg | Notion 3.3)
