Claude Plugins CLI

Manage ALL Claude Code plugins in one place.

You must be on at least Claude Code v2.0.12 to be able to use the Claude Plugins CLI

Discover Plugins

Explore available plugins and skills at claude-plugins.dev

Currently indexing 1200+ plugins from GitHub repositories. Our registry automatically discovers and indexes all public Claude Code plugins on GitHub every 10 minutes for easy discovery and installation.

Usage

With npx:

# Install a plugin
npx claude-plugins install @anthropics/claude-code-plugins/pr-review-toolkit

# List installed plugins
npx claude-plugins list

# Enable/disable plugins
npx claude-plugins enable plugin-name
npx claude-plugins disable plugin-name

Or globally:

npm install -g claude-plugins

Commands

install <plugin-identifier>

Install a plugin from the registry:

All plugins must be registered @ central registry. Currently we scour Github for public plugins.

list

View all installed plugins grouped by marketplace:

npx claude-plugins list

Output shows enabled (✓) and disabled (✗) plugins.

enable <plugin-name>

Re-enable a previously disabled plugin:

npx claude-plugins enable plugin-name

disable <plugin-name>

Disable an installed plugin:

npx claude-plugins disable plugin-name

The plugin can be re-enabled later.

Plugin Resolution

The CLI resolves all plugin identifiers via a lightweight registry(npm-style):

1. @author/marketplace/plugin → API lookup at https://api.claude-plugins.dev/api/resolve/author/marketplace/plugin
2. namespace/plugin → API lookup at https://api.claude-plugins.dev/api/resolve/namespace/plugin
3. plugin → API lookup at https://api.claude-plugins.dev/api/resolve/plugin

Today, we are indexing all publicly available plugins on Github every 10 mins, so no additional changes required to get your plugin added. And every public plugin is available for easy installation.

How It Works

The plugin manager uses a centralized registry to resolve plugin identifiers to Git repositories:

1. You run npx claude-plugins install @namespace/name
2. CLI queries the registry API
3. Registry returns the Git URL
4. CLI clones and validates the plugin
5. Plugin is enabled in Claude Code

Plugins are installed to ~/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/

Architecture

This repository contains:

• CLI (packages/cli) - Command-line tool for managing plugins
• Registry API - Central plugin registry on Val Town that auto-indexes GitHub
• Web (packages/web) - Plugin discovery website with skills filtering

Registry API: val.town/x/kamalnrf/claude-plugins-registry

Skills Support

Many plugins now include Claude Skills - reusable capabilities that extend Claude Code's functionality. Browse and filter plugins by skills on claude-plugins.dev.

Roadmap

• Search command with API integration (API endpoint exists, CLI command not implemented yet)
• Plugin update/upgrade command
• Version pinning
• Plugin signatures/verification
• Plugin interoperability between different coding agents (e.g., Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Codex)
• Plugin owners being able to update the plugin identifier

Development

See CLI README for development instructions.
