The Claude Partner Hub: what a firm sees, what a customer sees, and who runs the account
The Claude Partner Hub is the portal Anthropic announced on 3 June 2026: partners see their standing and customers find firms. Below: each side, and who runs it, still open.
Short answer
The Claude Partner Hub has two sides, on Anthropic’s description of 3 June 2026. Each partner sees its own standing against the published requirements, refreshed daily. A public directory shows each firm’s tier, certified team, customer deployments and public references. Cred Farmer’s reading of 5 November 2026 found a firm’s page with its tier and services and no certified headcount. That reading could not be repeated on 6 November 2026, when the directory answered HTTP 403. No page read says who administers the account.
Cred Farmer is independent: it is not part of the Claude Partner Network or an Anthropic source. The facts below come from the official pages named here, read on the dates shown. Anthropic’s partner team, not this page, decides a firm’s standing.

- Claude Certified Associate - Foundations

What the Partner Hub is, in Anthropic’s words
The Partner Hub is a portal, in the words of Anthropic’s announcement of 3 June 2026. It is where “partners see exactly where they stand against the program’s requirements, and customers find the firms most qualified for the scope of their project”. On 6 November 2026 the Hub answered 403, so this page reports Anthropic’s description.
Partner Academy’s home page adds that the Hub “has playbooks, launch kits, and benchmarks for planning, selling, and delivering Claude work with your customers”.
Anthropic’s FAQ and partners page also say Partner Portal, and no page read says how the two relate.
As Anthropic describes it
As read
What a firm sees, Anthropic says: its own standing, refreshed daily
A firm sees its own standing in the Partner Hub, says Anthropic: where it stands against the published requirements and “exactly what the next tier requires”, refreshed daily. The announcement of 3 June 2026 also says “Every firm’s dashboard shows the same numbers we see”. Cred Farmer reads that dashboard as the Hub’s private side, and has not seen it.
The announcement names three counts: certified practitioners, customers running Claude in production and public endorsements. See Claude Partner Network requirements for the tier lines, active certified practitioner for the 90-day test and customer deployments for the two customer counts.
Anthropic’s FAQ says three exams count towards Claude Partner Network eligibility: Claude Certified Developer - Foundations (CCDV-F), Claude Certified Architect - Foundations (CCAR-F) and Claude Certified Architect - Professional (CCAR-P). Claude Certified Associate - Foundations (CCAO-F) does not. The certifications page says CCAO-F, CCDV-F and CCAR-P update on 7 December 2026, and that notice omits CCAR-F: see Claude certification changes.
The announcement says standing is “refreshed daily”, and that “we verify standing every quarter”. The FAQ says the Partner Portal is “updated weekly with your organization’s total number of certifications”. No page read relates them, and on Cred Farmer’s reading a total of certifications need not match a count of active individuals.
On the Portal, the FAQ says partners “cannot currently see a detailed breakdown”, and Certification Terms section 6(c) says Anthropic “may” disclose a person’s status to the Partner, pass or fail included. Who can see Claude exam results sets out both, linking a certification to your company covers a missing count, and when your employer requires a certification gives the employee’s side.
The Partner Hub MCP connector: what Anthropic says it answers
Partners can connect the Partner Hub to Claude through an MCP connector, says Anthropic’s announcement of 3 June 2026. Its three examples are where a firm stands against the next tier, the status of a registered deal, and how many consultants hold an active certification.
No page read gives its setup, any Claude plan it needs or who at a firm may connect it. A Help Center search for “partner hub” on 6 November 2026 returned 10 results, none about the Hub. The Hub may say more.
One example is a registered deal, and the announcement says a firm’s practice and the business it brings are credited “separately”: see the Services Track post. No page read says whether the connector’s answers name people, so Cred Farmer’s advice is to agree who may connect it before anyone does.
What a customer sees: a tier, and no certified count on the cards read
A customer sees a firm’s tier on the 23 first-load cards, and no count of its certified people. Anthropic’s announcement says the Hub’s public directory shows tier, certified team, customer deployments and public references. The 23 cards Anthropic’s Service partners page showed on first load on 6 November 2026 give the tier and none of the other three.
| Announcement’s list | Firm page, 5 November 2026 | 23 cards, 6 November 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| Tier | Shown | Shown |
| Certified team | No certified headcount | No count |
| Customer deployments | Not in that reading’s record | No count |
| Public references | Not in that reading’s record | No customer story |
| Not on that list | Services, languages, an About text | A description of the firm |
| Read again? | Could not be repeated on 6 November 2026: HTTP 403 | Read that day |
The Service partners page sits in the Claude Marketplace and tells buyers to “Bring in certified experts to roll Claude out across your entire organization”. On 10 November 2026 its groups read 17 Global Premier, 42 Preferred and 295 Select, none named Registered. Its total read 354 partners, and every card carried one of those labels.
Its 12 filters, such as Services Offered and Budget, include none on a certified count, a customer count or a customer story. Some cards give a staff number, such as Capgemini’s 420,000 team members, and those are not certified counts. A few print a firm’s own certified number, which no page read checks.
Each of the 23 cards links to a firm page under partnerhub.claude.com/directory/partner/, though no page read says this list and the Hub’s directory are the same. On 6 November 2026 Cred Farmer opened none of those firm pages: the directory answered HTTP 403, and it did not try to get round that.
Cred Farmer’s reading of the directory itself, on 5 November 2026, counted 313 firms: 16 Global Premier, 40 Preferred and 257 Select. It could not be repeated on 6 November 2026, so it is dated evidence, not a rule.
Anthropic’s announcement lists a certified team. The 23 first-load partner cards show a tier.
Those cards are not every firm. Cred Farmer’s advice: check any listing your firm has as a buyer would, and do not assume it shows your count.
If a buyer asks for a number, Cred Farmer’s advice is to give your own, with its date. Certification Terms section 10(d) says a Partner “will not misrepresent the Certification status of individuals”, or imply it is itself certified without written authorisation from Anthropic. A buyer can check a person through a Claude certification badge.
Who should manage our Claude Partner Hub account, and what administrative permissions are available?
No official page Cred Farmer could read on 6 November 2026 says who should manage a firm’s Partner Hub account, or lists its administrative permissions. The Hub answered HTTP 403, and no Program Guide or Partner Agreement was read, so the answer may sit there. For a partner record, the eligibility page names partner-support@anthropic.com.
- Eligibility page. It speaks of “the person who manages your organization’s Anthropic partnership”, and does not say that person runs the Hub account.
- Certification Terms, section 10(c). A Partner is “responsible for managing access credentials, including SSO credentials”. That covers the certification Program, and the Terms do not name the Hub.
- Webinars page. Episode 02 of the partner broadcast has “a live walkthrough of the Partner Hub”. Only that description was read.
- A look-alike. The Claude Academy FAQ names “Primary owner, Owners, and Admins” and an Analytics permission. Those are Claude organisation roles for Academy’s Org reports; that FAQ omits the Hub.
Cred Farmer’s advice, not an official rule, is to give the account to the person who already manages the Anthropic partnership, with one named deputy, and to have them watch Episode 02. Published dates need an owner: promotions on 1 January and 1 July, verification every quarter, and 90 days’ notice before a move down at the 31 December review, narrow exceptions aside.
Cred Farmer’s three questions for partner support, the nearest published route:
Who holds it
Who has administrator rights on our account today, what permissions exist, and how do we change them?
When someone leaves
How does a user lose access? See when a Claude certified employee leaves.
The listing
What does our public listing show, and who can change it?
Getting in: the two addresses on Anthropic’s pages
Two addresses named partnerhub appear on Anthropic’s pages, and both answered HTTP 403 to Cred Farmer’s scripted browser on 6 November 2026. The partners page’s Partner Portal login points to partnerhub.anthropic.com, and Partner Academy’s Partner Hub link points to partnerhub.claude.com. That refusal says nothing about what a signed-in partner sees.
No page read says who at a firm gets a login, or how. The announcement says “each partner” and “Partnership begins at Select”, and the FAQ says “Registered-tier partners”. So whether a firm at the Registered tier sees the same view is open on the pages read.
Exam sign-in is a different question: the eligibility page asks for “a company email on a domain listed in your organization’s partner record”. No page read says the Hub uses the same sign-in. See the Claude certification eligibility guide and the Claude partner email domain post.
Key takeaways
- Anthropic says its Partner Hub shows each partner its own standing against the published requirements, refreshed daily.
- Anthropic’s announcement of 3 June 2026 says a firm’s certified team is visible in the Hub’s public directory. The 23 first-load Service partners cards on 6 November 2026 show a tier and no count of certified people.
- Cred Farmer’s reading of 5 November 2026 found no certified headcount on a firm’s directory page. It could not be repeated on 6 November 2026, when the directory answered HTTP 403.
- No official page Cred Farmer could read on 6 November 2026 says who should manage a Claude partner firm’s Hub account or lists its permissions. The Hub, the Program Guide and the Partner Agreement were not read.
- Cred Farmer’s advice is to give a firm’s Hub account to whoever manages its Anthropic partnership, with a named deputy.
The certified count rests on exams
Three of the four count towards Claude Partner Network eligibility, on Anthropic’s FAQ.
See the four Claude exams and what each one coversFrequently asked
Where is the Partner Hub login?
Anthropic’s partners page has a Partner Portal login that points to partnerhub.anthropic.com, and Partner Academy’s Partner Hub link points to partnerhub.claude.com. Both answered HTTP 403 to Cred Farmer’s scripted browser on 6 November 2026, so neither page was seen.
What does the Partner Hub MCP connector do?
Anthropic’s announcement of 3 June 2026 says partners can connect the Partner Hub to Claude and ask where a firm stands against the next tier, the status of a registered deal, or how many consultants hold an active certification. No page read gives its setup.
Is the Anthropic Partner Hub a separate system?
No official page read on 6 November 2026 uses the name Anthropic Partner Hub. One login points to partnerhub.anthropic.com and one link to partnerhub.claude.com. Both answered HTTP 403 that day, so Cred Farmer could not tell whether they are one system.
Can a firm see which employees are certified?
Not on the FAQ’s account: it says the Partner Portal shows a weekly total and partners “cannot currently see a detailed breakdown”. Certification Terms section 6(c) says Anthropic “may” disclose a person’s status to the Partner. No page read says what the Hub shows of individuals.
