Claude Desktop connectors that actually matter: web search, full-page reads, real data

A Reddit user doing marketing research for small clients shares which non-dev Claude Desktop connectors changed his workflow most — the boring ones:
- Real web search with sources: Claude finds recent pages and attributes each fact instead of guessing.
- Reading full pages, not snippets: most of his past wrong quotes came from Claude working off snippets; full-page reads fixed accuracy.
- Real data over guesses: keyword volumes and public datasets — Claude is great at analyzing data but bad at remembering numbers.
His pain point is setup: each connector comes from a different company with its own account and billing, some demanding monthly plans for weekly use. He asks others what they've connected, what they use weekly, and what they removed.
