Prerequisites
- Claude Code CLI installed and authenticated (claude.ai/code)
- Node.js 18 or higher (for any bundled MCP servers within plugins)
- A Claude Pro, Team, or Enterprise subscription
- Git, if cloning plugin source for local development
Open Claude Code
Launch Claude Code in your terminal. The plugin system is built into the CLI — no extra installation is required to access the official registry.
claudeBrowse the official plugin directory
Inside Claude Code, open the plugin discovery UI to see all Anthropic-verified plugins available in the official registry.
/plugin > DiscoverInstall a plugin by name
Once you have identified a plugin from the directory, install it using the `/plugin install` command followed by the plugin name and the `@claude-plugins-official` registry scope.
/plugin install <plugin-name>@claude-plugins-officialVerify the installation
After installation, list your active plugins to confirm the new plugin is registered. Skill-bundle plugins register their capabilities as `<plugin-name>:<skill-name>`.
/plugin listUse the plugin's skills or commands
Installed plugins expose slash commands, agent definitions, or skills that you can invoke directly in Claude Code. For skill bundles, call the skill by its registered name.
/<plugin-name>:<skill-name>Claude Plugins Official Examples
Client configuration
Claude Plugins Official integrates natively through Claude Code's plugin system. If a plugin bundles an MCP server, it is configured automatically. Example claude_desktop_config.json entry if a plugin exposes a standalone MCP server:
{
"mcpServers": {
"claude-plugins-official": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["claude-plugins-official"],
"env": {}
}
}
}Prompts to try
After installing plugins from the official directory, use these prompts inside Claude Code to explore and use them.
- "Show me all available official Claude Code plugins"
- "Install the code-review plugin from the official directory"
- "List the skills available in my currently installed plugins"
- "Run the security-review skill on my current project"Troubleshooting Claude Plugins Official
Plugin install fails with 'not found' or registry error
Confirm the plugin name is spelled correctly and scoped with @claude-plugins-official. Use `/plugin > Discover` to browse available names before installing.
Installed plugin's skills are not appearing as commands
Restart Claude Code after installation. Skill bundles are registered at startup. If the issue persists, run `/plugin list` to verify the plugin is active and check that the skill is declared in the plugin's manifest.
Claude Code warns about untrusted plugin content
Always verify you are installing from the @claude-plugins-official scope. Anthropic cannot verify third-party plugins — only those scoped to the official registry are reviewed and managed by Anthropic.
