Give Claude 5 Superpowers

A field guide to five upgrades that turn Claude from a chatbot into a working assistant: a research brain with Perplexity, web eyes with Firecrawl, a product detective with PostHog, browser hands with Playwright, and every app at once with Composio — each added in one command.

What's inside
  • A research brain: Perplexity, with sources
  • Eyes on the web: Firecrawl scraping
  • A product detective: PostHog funnels and bugs
  • Browser hands: Playwright clicks, fills and tests
  • Every app, one shot: Composio — each added in one command

From Chatbot to Powerhouse

Out of the box, Claude is a chat box: it works with what you paste in. Five connectors turn it into something that actually does the work — giving it a research brain, eyes on the web, a detective for your product data, hands to drive a browser, and one connection to every app you use.


1. A Research Brain — Perplexity

Deep research and real-time data pulled from across the internet, with sources. Claude can ask, reason and research instead of relying only on what it already knows.


2. Eyes on the Web — Firecrawl

Claude can see and scrape the web: pull a page's content, grab brand assets, and run instant competitor research.


3. A Product Detective — PostHog

Your analytics become a private investigator. Claude digs through your funnels and events to surface bugs and the exact points where you're losing customers.


4. Browser Hands — Playwright

Microsoft's browser automation gives Claude hands to drive a real browser — clicking, filling out forms, navigating, and testing your site end to end.


5. Every App, One Shot — Composio

Instead of setting up apps one by one, a single connector links Claude to hundreds of them at once — Gmail, Google Calendar, Slack, Notion and more — loading only the tools a task needs.


Adding Them

Each one is a single command: claude mcp add --transport http <name> <url>, with Playwright installed through npx instead. In the Claude app, you can add them from + → Connectors.


What's in the Guide

What each of the five superpowers does, the exact name and URL to add each one, and the link for each tool.
