Discover and install prebuilt plugins through marketplaces

Find and install plugins from marketplaces to extend Claude Code with new skills, agents, and capabilities.

Plugins extend Claude Code with skills, agents, hooks, and MCP servers. Plugin marketplaces are catalogs that help you discover and install these extensions without building them yourself.

How marketplaces work

A marketplace is a catalog of plugins that someone else has created and shared. Using a marketplace is a two-step process:

This registers the catalog with Claude Code so you can browse what's available. No plugins are installed yet.

Browse the catalog and install the plugins you want.

Official Anthropic marketplace

Claude Code adds the official Anthropic marketplace (claude-plugins-official) automatically the first time you start it interactively. If Claude Code can't add it, for example because your network blocks the download or a marketplace policy blocked an earlier attempt, add it yourself with /plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-plugins-official.

To browse what's available, run /plugin and go to the Discover tab, or view the catalog at claude.com/plugins.

To install a plugin from the official marketplace, use /plugin install <name>@claude-plugins-official. For example, to install the GitHub integration:

/plugin install github@claude-plugins-official

/plugin opens an interactive panel in the terminal CLI. If Claude replies that /plugin isn't available in this environment, use the plugin browser in the Claude desktop app, or declare the plugin under enabledPlugins in .claude/settings.json for cloud sessions.

If the install fails, match the message Claude Code reports:

• Marketplace "claude-plugins-official" not found: add the marketplace with /plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-plugins-official, then retry the install.

• The plugin is not found in the marketplace: check the plugin name.

  The official marketplace is curated by Anthropic, and inclusion is at Anthropic's discretion. The in-app submission forms add plugins to the community marketplace, not the official one. To distribute plugins independently, create your own marketplace and share it with users.

The official marketplace includes several categories of plugins:

Code intelligence

Code intelligence plugins enable Claude Code's built-in LSP tool, giving Claude the ability to jump to definitions, find references, and see type errors immediately after edits. These plugins configure Language Server Protocol connections, the same technology that powers VS Code's code intelligence. In cloud sessions, Claude Code doesn't start plugin language servers, so Claude doesn't get the LSP tool there.

Install the language server binary from the table below before using these plugins; the plugin doesn't install it for you. If you already have a language server installed, Claude may prompt you to install the corresponding plugin when you open a project.

Language	Plugin	Binary required
C/C++	clangd-lsp	clangd
C#	csharp-lsp	csharp-ls
Go	gopls-lsp	gopls
Java	jdtls-lsp	jdtls
Kotlin	kotlin-lsp	kotlin-language-server
Lua	lua-lsp	lua-language-server
PHP	php-lsp	intelephense
Python	pyright-lsp	pyright-langserver
Rust	rust-analyzer-lsp	rust-analyzer
Swift	swift-lsp	sourcekit-lsp
TypeScript	typescript-lsp	typescript-language-server

You can also create your own LSP plugin for other languages.

If you see Executable not found in $PATH in the /plugin Errors tab after installing a plugin, install the required binary from the table above.

What Claude gains from code intelligence plugins

Once a code intelligence plugin is installed and its language server binary is available, Claude gains two capabilities:

• Automatic diagnostics: after every file edit Claude makes, the language server reports errors and warnings back, so Claude sees type errors, missing imports, and syntax issues without running a compiler or linter. If Claude introduces an error, it notices and fixes it in the same turn.
• Code navigation: Claude can use the language server to jump to definitions, find references, get type info on hover, list symbols, find implementations, and trace call hierarchies. These operations give Claude more precise navigation than grep-based search, though availability may vary by language and environment.

You don't need to configure diagnostics beyond installing the plugin. To read them yourself, press Ctrl+O when Claude Code shows an indicator such as Found 3 new diagnostic issues in 2 files.

If you run into issues, see Code intelligence troubleshooting.

External integrations

These plugins bundle pre-configured MCP servers so you can connect Claude to external services without manual setup:

• Source control: github, gitlab
• Project management: atlassian (Jira/Confluence), asana, linear, notion
• Design: figma
• Infrastructure: vercel, firebase, supabase
• Communication: slack
• Monitoring: sentry

Automatic security review

The security-guidance plugin reviews each change Claude makes for common vulnerabilities and instructs Claude to fix what it finds in the same session. See Catch security issues as Claude writes code for what it checks and how to add project-specific rules.

Development workflows

Plugins that add skills and agents for common development tasks:

• commit-commands: Git commit workflows including commit, push, and PR creation
• pr-review-toolkit: specialized agents for reviewing pull requests
• agent-sdk-dev: tools for building with the Claude Agent SDK
• plugin-dev: toolkit for creating your own plugins

Output styles

Customize how Claude responds:

• explanatory-output-style: educational insights about implementation choices
• learning-output-style: interactive learning mode for skill building

Community marketplace

The community marketplace at anthropics/claude-plugins-community hosts third-party plugins that have passed Anthropic's automated validation and safety screening. Each plugin is pinned to a specific commit SHA in the catalog. Unlike the official marketplace, you add it manually:

/plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-plugins-community

Then install plugins from it using the claude-community marketplace name:
