6565You can also upload individual skills in the console without a repository. The repository pattern is worth the setup because Claude can propose changes to it, every change goes through version control and code review, and you can attach the same skills to multiple bundles without uploading them again.

67## Upload a plugin as a zip file
68
69To upload instead, on the **Plugins** page at [`claude.ai/admin-settings/plugins`](https://claude.ai/admin-settings/plugins), click **Add plugins**, choose **Upload a file**, and upload a `.zip` or `.plugin` archive of up to 200 MB. The archive has to be a [Claude Code plugin](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/plugins), laid out in one of these ways:
70
71* A `.claude-plugin/plugin.json` manifest at the archive root, with each skill in its own folder at `skills/<name>/SKILL.md`
72* The same layout inside a single top-level folder
73* For a single skill, a `SKILL.md` at the top level whose frontmatter declares the plugin's components
74
75An archive with no manifest, with more than one `plugin.json`, or with the manifest anywhere else is rejected at upload. After upload, the plugin is in your organization's catalog but not attached anywhere. To make it available in channels, toggle it on in a bundle's **Plugins** tab or add it directly on a scope; see [Attach plugins](/docs/claude-tag/admins/add-connections#attach-plugins).

77## Repository context files and MCP servers
78
79A granted repository's `CLAUDE.md` and `.claude/rules/*.md` load when Claude clones it, in the same format as Claude Code; see [What loads from a repository](/docs/claude-tag/admins/configure-github#what-loads-from-a-repository) and the [Claude Code memory docs](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/memory). A repository's `.mcp.json` is not loaded. To give Claude an MCP server, put the `.mcp.json` in a plugin, next to its `.claude-plugin/plugin.json`, and attach the plugin; the [Claude Code plugin docs](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/plugins) cover the `.mcp.json` format, and [Add a custom MCP server](/docs/claude-tag/admins/connections/custom#add-a-custom-mcp-server) covers the credential the server needs.
