# Install & Configure: Discover and Install Claude Code Plugins from Community Marketplaces

## What This Is
Supercharge the Claude Code AI assistant by connecting it to community-maintained marketplaces of plugins. These curated lists, hosted on GitHub, provide hundreds of new skills and integrations for task management, external service connections like Jira, and developer workflow automation.

Source: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/discover-plugins

## Before You Start

Scan my workspace and analyze:
- The project language, framework, and directory structure
- Existing agent configuration (check for .claude/, .codex/, CLAUDE.md, settings.json, commands/, skills/ directories)

Then ask me before proceeding:
1. Do I need to configure any service credentials for this plugin (database, API keys, etc.)?
2. Should this be project-scoped or global?

## Source Access Note

The source URL (https://code.claude.com/docs/en/discover-plugins) may not be directly accessible from the terminal. Use the Reference Implementation and Additional Context sections below instead. If you need more details, ask me to paste relevant content from the source.

## What to Implement

This is an **Agent Plugin** — typically an MCP server or capability bundle.

- Install any required npm/pip packages from the source repository
- Register the MCP server in `.claude/settings.json` under the `mcpServers` key with the correct command and args
- Configure any required environment variables or credentials
- Verify the server starts correctly by checking its expected output

## Additional Context

- Scan the user's project for a `.claude/settings.json` file to identify already-configured marketplaces. Cross-reference them with the provided list (e.g., 'quemsah/awesome-claude-plugins', 'yanmxa/cc-plugins') and suggest a new one to add.
- Upon user approval, execute the Claude Code command `/plugin marketplace add yanmxa/cc-plugins` to add the specified community plugin repository as a new source.
- After adding the marketplace, run `/plugin list yanmxa/cc-plugins` to inventory available plugins. Based on the user's project context (e.g., web development, data science), recommend and offer to install a relevant plugin using `/plugin install <plugin-name>`.

## Reference Implementation

```
/plugin marketplace add https://github.com/yanmxa/cc-plugins
```

## Guidelines

- Adapt everything to my existing project — do not assume a specific stack or directory layout
- Review any fetched code for safety before installing or executing it
- After setup, run a quick verification and show me a summary of exactly what was installed, where, and how to use it

MANUAL SETUP STEPS

01Scan the user's project for a `.claude/settings.json` file to identify already-configured marketplaces. Cross-reference them with the provided list (e.g., 'quemsah/awesome-claude-plugins', 'yanmxa/cc-plugins') and suggest a new one to add.
02Upon user approval, execute the Claude Code command `/plugin marketplace add yanmxa/cc-plugins` to add the specified community plugin repository as a new source.
03After adding the marketplace, run `/plugin list yanmxa/cc-plugins` to inventory available plugins. Based on the user's project context (e.g., web development, data science), recommend and offer to install a relevant plugin using `/plugin install <plugin-name>`.

FIELD OPERATIONS

Automated Project Scaffolding Agent

Create a Claude Code workflow that uses community plugins to set up new development projects. The workflow would trigger on a new repo, installing plugins for a specific framework (e.g., React, Vue), setting up linting rules (ESLint plugin), and creating a standard CI/CD pipeline configuration (GitHub Actions plugin).

AI Research Assistant

Configure a Claude Code agent with plugins from the `AI-research-SKILLs` repository. Use plugins to fetch papers from arXiv, summarize PDF documents, manage a BibTeX library, and generate literature reviews based on a user's query.

STRATEGIC APPLICATIONS

→Automate developer onboarding by creating a Claude Code skill that installs a standard set of team-approved plugins (e.g., Jira, GitHub PR review, internal documentation search) for new hires, ensuring consistent development environments.
→Integrate the customer support workflow by using a plugin that connects Claude Code to a ticketing system like Zendesk or Jira Service Desk, allowing the agent to automatically triage new tickets and suggest solutions based on the codebase.
