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.

Claude can search your claude.ai plugin catalog and offer an install card.

What

A tool can search your claude.ai plugin catalog by keyword to find plugins relevant to the task. Its prompt tells the model to render an install card through SuggestPluginInstall when the results fit that format, relay them as plain text otherwise, and stay silent when nothing is relevant. Whether the tool is offered in a given session depends on its own enablement, which is not decided in this code.

Evidence

Search the user's claude.ai plugin catalog by keyword to find plugins that might help complete the task.

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