Claude Code Plugins Directory

What is Claude Code Plugins Directory?

The Claude Code Plugins Directory is how Anthropic distributes plugins for Claude Code. Anthropic runs three general marketplaces, each in its own GitHub repository: an official one, a community one for third-party plugins that authors submitted, and a demo one with small example plugins. Claude Code adds the official marketplace the first time you start an interactive terminal session, and you install a plugin by typing its name followed by the marketplace name, for example commit-commands from claude-plugins-official. Most of the official list comes from partners and other authors, such as tool vendors that connect Claude Code to their services, while Anthropic maintains a smaller set of its own, including commit-commands, code-review, feature-dev and language server plugins. The Discover tab of the /plugin command shows the current catalog. Using it costs nothing beyond Claude Code itself, and the repository is licensed Apache-2.0. Anthropic cannot control what a plugin bundles, so you need to trust a plugin before installing it.

How to get started with Claude Code Plugins Directory

1. Start an interactive Claude Code session in a terminal; the official marketplace is added for you unless a policy blocks it.
2. Open the Discover tab of the /plugin command to browse what the official marketplace lists.
3. Install a plugin with a command such as /plugin install commit-commands@claude-plugins-official.
4. Add the community or demo marketplace with /plugin marketplace add and the repository name if you want those catalogs too.
5. Review the plugin's contents and trust it before installing or updating, since Anthropic cannot vouch for everything it bundles.

Claude Code Plugins Directory limitations

• Works with Claude Code only
• Anthropic does not control what a third-party plugin bundles
