Claude Plugins Official is a curated directory of high-quality plugins for Claude Code.
The directory solves the problem of discovering and installing trusted extensions for Claude Code by maintaining a centralized marketplace of vetted plugins. It separates internally maintained plugins developed by Anthropic from third-party plugins submitted by partners and the community, with external plugins required to meet quality and security standards before approval. Users can install plugins directly through Claude Code's plugin system using a simple command or by browsing the marketplace interface.
Developers should use this directory when building extensions for Claude Code or seeking to extend Claude's capabilities with new skills and integrations. The directory suits projects that need reliable, pre-vetted plugins rather than hunting across disparate sources. The repository emphasizes that users must trust plugins before installation, as Anthropic does not control the underlying MCP servers or files included in third-party plugins. The submission process for external plugins uses a formal submission form, indicating a structured approach to curation.
The project receives most of its issue reports from outside users rather than the core team, demonstrating a substantial base of adopters relying on it for real-world use. Maintainers typically respond to new issues and pull requests within a few days, indicating active engagement with the community.
