New Features

Plotly Cloud Connector for Claude
You can now build, deploy, and manage Dash apps on Plotly Cloud directly from a conversation with Claude. The connector is available in the Claude connector directory. It combines Dash documentation search and Plotly Cloud app management in a single install, and Claude picks the right tool for each request.

Claude can search and read the Dash documentation, so the code it writes uses the current Dash API.

Claude can create, publish, start, stop, and delete apps on Plotly Cloud, check their status, and read their logs. If a build fails, Claude reads the build logs, fixes the issue, and redeploys. When the build succeeds, you get the live app URL in the same chat.

The connector is most useful in browser-based assistants like Claude.ai, which can't access your files or a terminal. This makes it possible for less technical team members to build and share apps on Plotly Cloud. For coding-heavy work or managing many files, the Plotly Cloud CLI may be a better fit.

The connector also works with Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and other MCP-compatible clients. To add it manually, use this server URL: https://cloud.plotly.com/_mcp

To get started, open the Claude connector directory, search for "Plotly," and select Plotly Cloud. For setup instructions for other clients, see the Plotly Cloud MCP documentation.

Improvements

• The AI agent can now produce longer responses, so complex code and detailed analysis are less likely to be split across steps or cut short.

• When a response does exceed the model's limit, Studio now shows a clearer informational notice explaining that the agent will retry with smaller steps. The previous warning was often mistaken for running out of account credits.

• Your credit balance now updates every 60 seconds and whenever you return to Studio, so purchases and usage are reflected during your session.

Fixes

• Fixed an issue where credits and plan details sometimes showed information from a different team than the one you had selected.

• Fixed an issue where the Billing and Published Apps links in the user menu opened your primary team's page in Plotly Cloud instead of the selected team's page.

• Fixed an issue where the View App and Copy App URL buttons sometimes produced links that didn't open after deploying to Plotly Cloud. Deployed app links now work for both Plotly Cloud and Dash Enterprise.

• Fixed an issue where a failed deployment caused every later deployment attempt to show an authentication error. You can now retry a deployment after a failure.

Fixes

• Fixed an issue where opening the Skills Library from Code view appeared to work but never showed the library. Opening the Skills Library now switches you to Steps view, and switching to Code view closes the library.

• Fixed an issue where the Export as CSV button on the DataTable toolbar did nothing in browser and Docker mode. Clicking it now downloads the file through your browser. The desktop app still uses the native save dialog.

• Fixed an issue where several sample projects failed with a module error when re-running their code. Sample projects now work as soon as you open them.

• Fixed an issue where a "Something went wrong" error briefly appeared when opening or returning to an Agentic session, even though the session loaded normally.

• Fixed an issue where some users saw a connectivity error every time they opened Studio, even with a working internet connection.

• Fixed an issue where dragging files with the same name into an Agentic session behaved differently on Windows and macOS. Both platforms now handle duplicate filenames the same way.
