Source Intelligence

DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Plugin, Skill, and Connector Discovery Tools

What

Six new tools that let Claude discover, list, and suggest claude.ai plugins, skills, and MCP connectors from within Cowork sessions.

Details
  • SearchPlugins — search the org's plugin catalog by keyword; triggers SuggestPluginInstall to render an install card
  • ListPlugins — list the user's currently enabled plugins; call after SuggestPluginInstall to confirm what was installed
  • SuggestPluginInstall — render an inline plugin install card directly in the conversation
  • SearchSkills — search the user's skills by keyword; triggers SuggestSkills
  • ListSkills — list currently enabled skills
  • SuggestSkills — render an add-skills card for org/shared/Anthropic skills not yet enabled
  • SearchMcpRegistry — search the public MCP connector directory by keyword; returns directoryUuid values
  • ListConnectors — list the org's installed MCP connectors, with enabledInChat status for this session
  • SuggestConnectors — suggest connectors matching the user's intent

These tools are only available in Cowork remote sessions (CLAUDE_CODE_REMOTE is set).

Evidence

(search for "SearchMcpRegistry", "ListPlugins", "SuggestPluginInstall", "ListConnectors")

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
