plugin · anthropics
Plugins are ranked by repository stars and source install counts, and only ones with a verified description and contents are included. A plugin installs a whole set of components at once: skills, commands, subagents, hooks and MCP servers. Open plugin.json before installing and check for hooks and servers, because those run code without you. Anthropic curates its official marketplace; third-party marketplaces are run by their authors.
