claude-code-plugins-plus-skills

Claude Code Skills & Plugins Hub exposes a catalog of skills and plugins for enhancing Claude Code workflows. This MCP server serves as a gateway to the marketplace catalog, enabling you to discover, install, and manage plugins and embedded agent skills from this repository. The CLI tooling described in the repository (ccpi) interacts with the published catalog to install and validate plugins, and can be used to run or simulate agent-driven workflows that leverage the code plugins and skills contained here. Use the server to host a local or cloud-based marketplace instance that your Claude-enabled agent can query for capabilities, ensuring consistent plugin discovery and versioning across environments.

Within the hub you’ll find capabilities such as penetration-tester plugins, code-analysis helpers, and a broad collection of agent skills. Tools include: discovering available plugins (ccpi search), listing installed plugins (ccpi list --installed), installing/updating plugins (ccpi install, ccpi update), and validating plugin structure for development (ccpi validate). The server will typically expose endpoints or a runtime catalog that your client can query to fetch the latest plugin metadata, versions, and dependency trees, enabling reproducible agent workflows with empirical verification.

Prerequisites

• Node.js v14+ installed on the host
• Access to the repository containing claude-code-plugins-plus-skills

Installation steps

1. Clone the repository (or download the package):

git clone https://github.com/jeremylongshore/claude-code-plugins-plus-skills.git
cd claude-code-plugins-plus-skills

2. Install dependencies (if applicable):

npm install

3. Start the MCP server instance:

node server.js

4. Verify the server is running by hitting the configured health or status endpoint (e.g., http://localhost:PORT/health).

# If a specific port is required, set an environment variable or modify server.js accordingly.

Notes and tips:

• This MCP setup assumes a Node-based server exposing a catalog of plugins/skills for Claude Code. If your deployment uses a different runtime, adjust the mcp_config command accordingly (e.g., python, uv, or docker variants).
• Ensure network access to any external plugin catalogs referenced by the hub, and keep the catalog cache in sync with the main repository on updates.
• The npm_package field is null for this repository since it’s not a standalone Node.js server package published on npm; if you deploy a packaged npm server, update this field accordingly.
