Claude Code plugins and marketplace: 40 profiled in 2026

We profiled 40 Claude Code plugins, all from Anthropic. The largest group is 12 language server plugins that add code intelligence and diagnostics, such as typescript-lsp, pyright-lsp, gopls-lsp and rust-analyzer-lsp. The rest are workflow tools: code-review, pr-review-toolkit, feature-dev, commit-commands, hookify, ralph-loop and security-guidance.

There are also builder kits (plugin-dev, mcp-server-dev, agent-sdk-dev), two output-style plugins (explanatory-output-style, learning-output-style) and report tools (session-report, receipts). Most are Apache-2.0; claude-security is listed as proprietary. Anthropic warns to trust a plugin before installing, since it cannot verify the MCP servers, files or software a plugin includes.

How it works

A plugin bundles slash commands, agents, skills, hooks and MCP server config; you browse the marketplace, install by name and read the hooks first ONE PLUGIN · one installable unit Slash commandstyped with a slash Agentsone unit of work Skillsreusable know-how Hooksrun on events MCP serversconfig shipped inside 1Browse/plugin > Discoverclaude-plugins-official shipsenabled by default 2Install/plugin install <name>@claude-plugins-officialfor example code-review@claude-plugins-official 3Read firstREADME before you trust itralph-loop: Stop hookexplanatory-output-style: SessionStart
What a plugin bundles and the path from marketplace to install, with hooks to read first
  • A plugin bundles slash commands, agents, skills, hooks or MCP server config into one installable unit.
  • The official marketplace, claude-plugins-official, ships enabled by default in Claude Code; browse it with /plugin > Discover.
  • Install with /plugin install <name>@claude-plugins-official, for example code-review@claude-plugins-official.
  • Language server plugins need the matching language server on your machine; clangd-lsp, for example, is for .c files.
  • Plugins can run hooks, so read the README first; ralph-loop uses a Stop hook and explanatory-output-style uses a SessionStart hook.

How a plugin is installed and configured

Official plugins come from the Anthropic marketplace; third-party ones are added by marketplace URL first. Each entry below shows the exact command from its README.

File: Terminal: /plugin · manifest .claude-plugin/plugin.json
