PluginEditors’ pickMedium risk

Install

/plugin install {plugin-name}@claude-plugins-official

Replace {plugin-name} with the plugin name. The list is under /plugin, Discover.

This is third-party code. Review the repository files before installing.

What it does

The repository is a marketplace that Claude Code reads for the /plugin command. It has two parts: plugins, written and maintained by Anthropic, and external_plugins, submitted by partners and the community and accepted after review. Anthropic's own plugins include LSP integrations for several languages, code review tooling, and helpers for building plugins, MCP servers and skills. Each plugin can bundle commands, agents, skills and MCP configuration.

Who it is for. For Claude Code users who want vetted extensions from a single source.

Good fit when

  • You want to add LSP, code review or a service integration to Claude Code
  • You prefer installing plugins from a catalog curated by Anthropic
  • You need a reference plugin layout for your own work

Not a fit when

  • You do not use Claude Code
  • The plugin you need is not listed; add the author's own marketplace instead

Example request

Install the pull request review plugin from the official directory

Limitations

Anthropic warns that it does not control third-party plugins, their MCP servers or their updates, so judge each plugin yourself. Many plugins need accounts in external services. Claude Code itself is not available from Russia without a VPN.

How to disable. Remove a plugin from the /plugin menu or with /plugin uninstall and the plugin name.

Security check

  • Plugins can run MCP servers and hooks on your machine
  • Anthropic does not verify updates to third-party plugins

README in short

The README explains the layout: Anthropic's own plugins and third-party ones live in separate folders. You install with /plugin install and the @claude-plugins-official suffix, or through Discover. It documents the standard plugin structure with a .claude-plugin/plugin.json manifest, .mcp.json, commands, agents and skills. It also notes that plugin names are immutable after publishing and shows how to register skill bundles that lack a manifest.

FAQ

How do internal and external plugins differ?

Internal plugins in plugins are built and maintained by Anthropic. External ones in external_plugins come from partners and the community; they are reviewed before inclusion, but their authors own the code.

Can I submit my own plugin?

Yes, through the submission form linked in the README. The plugin has to meet quality and security requirements.
