39 * If you want to connect a tool or install a plugin for yourself, see the [Customize Claude](/docs/extend/overview) tab
40 * If you're not sure whether your plugin needs an MCP server at all, see [Decide what to include in your plugin](/docs/connectors/building/what-to-build)
41 * If you're distributing only inside your organization, see [Roll out a plugin to your whole organization](/docs/plugins/org-rollout)
42 * If you're building only for Claude Code's terminal and IDE users, see the [Claude Code plugin docs](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/plugins/create), which cover what that surface alone supports
