55A plugin is a package that extends what Claude can do in Cowork. Installing one can add skills, MCP connectors, subagents, commands, or hooks in a single step. Plugins come from the marketplace, from your organization, or from a file you upload.

49A Git repository that contains plugin packages can serve as a marketplace, which lets you share plugins without publishing to the public catalog. For a marketplace you add yourself, repositories on GitHub, including GitHub Enterprise, are supported, and public repositories on GitLab and Bitbucket also work. To distribute plugins to everyone in a Team or Enterprise organization, an Owner syncs the repository from organization settings instead, as [Manage plugins for your organization](/docs/plugins/admin#add-your-own-plugins) describes.
