127 Connectors are called from the desktop application, outside the sandbox. The built-in Microsoft 365 connector and administrator-added connectors call their endpoints directly from the user's device, through the system proxy where one is configured. OAuth tokens for both are stored encrypted on each user's device using operating system encryption (macOS Keychain on Mac, DPAPI on Windows). For administrator-added connectors, the bearer header entered on the Config page is delivered to each user's desktop. A plugin package can include skills, slash commands, sub-agents, and hooks, which run on the member's machine. The Config page asks the administrator to confirm trust before adding a plugin that declares components that can run code on the member's machine, for example hooks or an MCP server. When an administrator adds a plugin on the Config page, Claude Desktop can run a local MCP server that the plugin declares on the member's machine, or connect to a remote one. End users cannot add their own connectors. End users can upload their own plugin files in Claude Desktop; a user-uploaded plugin's skills, commands, sub-agents, and hooks run on that user's machine, and any connector it declares does not become available as an organization connector. Administrators distribute plugins to members on the Config page with a per-plugin choice of automatic installation or member opt-in. See [Connectors](/docs/government/connectors/overview) and the Plugins card under [Tool and connector cards](/docs/government/config/settings#tool-and-connector-cards).

The **Let members add plugin marketplaces** and **Let members add their own plugins** switches on the Config page control whether end users can add plugin marketplaces or plugins of their own in Claude Desktop. Both are off by default, as described under [Member-added plugins and marketplaces](/docs/government/config/settings#member-added-plugins-and-marketplaces).
