@, as in /plugin install commit-commands@claude-plugins-official.
Use this page to distinguish the two marketplaces and to find where to check whether the official one holds a given plugin.
These cases are covered on other pages:
- How to install a plugin: see Install plugins
- A failed install: see Troubleshoot plugins
- To distinguish the two marketplaces by repository, marketplace name, and how you get each one, see Anthropic’s marketplaces.
- To find a plugin in the official marketplace, see Find plugins in the official marketplace.
Anthropic’s marketplaces
A marketplace is a catalog of plugins that a repository defines in its.claude-plugin/marketplace.json file. The official and community 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.
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.
Deprecated claude-code-plugins marketplace
Unless you have one of the two plugins below, you can leave your claude-code-plugins plugins and the marketplace as they are. They update from the claude-plugins-official repository.
ralph-wiggum: this plugin is nowralph-loop, and its commands start with/ralph-loop:. If those commands aren’t available, runclaude plugin install ralph-loop@claude-plugins-officialin your shell.claude-opus-4-5-migration: this plugin is retired, so remove it by runningclaude plugin uninstall claude-opus-4-5-migration@claude-code-pluginsin your shell.
Find plugins in the official marketplace
By default, Claude Code adds the official marketplace,claude-plugins-official, 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
/pluginin an interactive session. Its Discover tab lists the plugins from your marketplaces. - In Claude Code, by name: run
/plugin install <name>in a session, which looks the name up in your marketplaces. If the plugin is in one of them, its details open in the/pluginpanel, and nothing installs until you choose an installation scope and confirm there. If it isn’t, you seePlugin "<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.jsonin the marketplace’s repository, such asanthropics/claude-plugins-official. That file is the catalog itself.
Add the community marketplace
The community marketplace isn’t registered until you add it. In a Claude Code session, run/plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-plugins-community, then install with the @claude-community 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.
