What are Claude live artifacts?

Live artifacts are Claude artifacts wired to real-time data via MCP — dashboards that refresh themselves.

A regular artifact is a snapshot; a live artifact pulls fresh data each load. They live in Claude (paid plans). When you need to hand someone a stable private snapshot, export and drop it.
