Anthropic's marketplaces

Anthropic's official, community, and demo plugin marketplaces for Claude Code: their names, repositories, how you add each, and where to browse their plugins.

Anthropic publishes three general-purpose plugin marketplaces for Claude Code: official, community, and demo. Each is a catalog of plugins in its own GitHub repository. When you install a plugin from one of them in a Claude Code session, you type the marketplace's name after @, as in /plugin install commit-commands@claude-plugins-official.

Use this page to distinguish the three marketplaces and to find where to check whether the official one holds a given plugin.

Go to the part of the page you need:

Anthropic's marketplaces

A marketplace is a catalog of plugins that a repository defines in its .claude-plugin/marketplace.json file. The official, community, and demo marketplaces each come from their own GitHub repository. Anthropic also publishes topic-specific marketplaces, such as anthropics/skills and anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins, which you add in a Claude Code session with /plugin marketplace add <owner>/<repo>.

This table gives each marketplace's repository and marketplace name, which is what you type after @ when you install a plugin from that marketplace. The community marketplace's name is claude-community, not its repository name.

Official Community Demo
Repository anthropics/claude-plugins-official anthropics/claude-plugins-community anthropics/claude-code
Marketplace name claude-plugins-official claude-community claude-code-plugins
What's in it Plugins Anthropic maintains, plus plugins from partners and other authors Third-party plugins that their authors submitted to Anthropic A small set of example plugins that show what a plugin can contain
How you get it Claude Code adds it the first time you start an interactive terminal session, unless a managed policy or CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_OFFICIAL_MARKETPLACE_AUTOINSTALL blocks it. See Marketplace claude-plugins-official not found if it's missing You add it in a Claude Code session with /plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-plugins-community You add it in a Claude Code session with /plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-code

If you wrote a plugin and want other people to install it, see Publish a plugin, which covers your own marketplace and submitting to Anthropic's directory.

The demo marketplace in anthropics/claude-code

If a tutorial or an older set of instructions tells you to run /plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-code, that adds the demo marketplace, named claude-code-plugins. It isn't the official marketplace, which Claude Code already added for you.

Most of the demo marketplace's plugins are also in the official marketplace under the same names. For example, code-review, feature-dev, commit-commands, and security-guidance are in both. Install those from claude-plugins-official so you don't have two copies installed.

Find plugins in the official marketplace

The official marketplace, claude-plugins-official, is the one Claude Code adds for you. Most of what it lists comes from partners and other authors rather than from Anthropic: tool vendors publish plugins that connect Claude Code to their services, and Anthropic maintains a smaller set of its own, such as commit-commands, code-review, feature-dev, and the language server plugins. The catalog changes often, so this page doesn't list it.

To see what's in it, use the Discover tab of /plugin in a Claude Code session, which you can search, or browse Claude Marketplace on the web.

Browse and install from Anthropic's marketplaces

You can search Anthropic's marketplaces for a plugin in Claude Code, on the web, or on GitHub:

  • In Claude Code, by browsing: run /plugin in an interactive session. Its Discover tab lists the plugins from the marketplaces you've added.
  • In Claude Code, by name: run /plugin install <name> in a session, which looks the name up in the marketplaces you've added. If the plugin is in one of them, its details open in the /plugin panel, and nothing installs until you choose an installation scope and confirm there. If it isn't, you see Plugin "<name>" not found in any marketplace.
  • On the web: search the full catalog on Claude Marketplace, which shows install counts and marks some plugins Anthropic verified.
  • On GitHub: open .claude-plugin/marketplace.json in the marketplace's repository, such as anthropics/claude-plugins-official. That file is the catalog itself.

Anthropic's directory is separate from these marketplaces. The directory is the catalog on claude.ai, and /plugin doesn't list it. A plugin you add from the directory on claude.ai reaches Claude Code through account sync. To list your own plugin there, see Submit to Anthropic's directory.

To install from the desktop app or from a script, or to see what a cloud session loads, see Install plugins.

Add the community or demo marketplace

The community and demo marketplaces aren't registered until you add them in a Claude Code session:

  • Community: run /plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-plugins-community, then install with the @claude-community suffix.
  • Demo: run /plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-code, then install with the @claude-code-plugins suffix.

If claude-plugins-official isn't on the Marketplaces tab of /plugin, add it the same way with /plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-plugins-official.

For not found errors and marketplaces that won't add, see Troubleshoot plugins.

Third-party marketplaces

Many popular plugins aren't in any Anthropic marketplace. They're in their authors' own marketplaces, usually a GitHub repository with a .claude-plugin/marketplace.json at its root.

Anthropic doesn't review third-party marketplaces, so read Plugin security and trust before you add one.

To use a third-party marketplace, add its repository in a Claude Code session with /plugin marketplace add <owner>/<repo>, then install with /plugin install <plugin>@<marketplace-name>. The marketplace name is the name field of that marketplace.json, and Claude Code prints it once it has added the marketplace.

For other ways to add a marketplace, see Add a marketplace.
