Official Claude Code Plugins: The Complete List (2026)

Official Claude Code plugins are the ones Anthropic maintains and vets, published in the claude-plugins-official marketplace that Claude Code registers for you automatically. They are the safest place to start: first-party tools built by Anthropic plus a curated set of partner integrations, all installable with a single command. This is the complete list of Claude Code official plugins for 2026 — the first-party dev tools, the eleven language servers, the output styles, and the partner integrations — each with what it does and how to install it.

What Makes a Plugin "Official"?
A plugin is "official" when it lives in claude-plugins-official, the marketplace Anthropic curates and maintains. In other words, Claude Code official plugins are the ones Anthropic stands behind — either built in-house or vetted before listing. Two things make this marketplace special: it is registered automatically the first time you launch Claude Code, so you can install from it with zero setup, and everything in it is either built by Anthropic or reviewed before it lands.
Within it, the Anthropic Claude Code plugins fall into two groups:
- First-party plugins — built and maintained by Anthropic itself (the dev-workflow tools,
frontend-design,skill-creator, the language servers, and the output styles). - Partner integrations — plugins for third-party tools (GitHub, Supabase, Figma, and dozens more) that Anthropic has reviewed and curated, most of them pre-configured MCP servers.
Anything outside this marketplace — the community marketplace, or an independent directory — is not "official," even if it is excellent. We cover that distinction at the end. For the wider picture of what plugins are, see our complete guide to Claude Code plugins.
Official First-Party Plugins
These are the plugins Anthropic builds and maintains. All install with /plugin install <name>@claude-plugins-official.
Dev workflow
code-review— runs parallel agents over a change set to catch bugs, missed edge cases, and style issues before you commit. See our guide to Claude Code for code review.security-guidance— reviews Claude's diffs for injection, XSS, SSRF, exposed secrets, IDOR, and auth-bypass patterns. Ships enabled by default in recent Claude Code.commit-commands— helpers for crafting clean, conventional commits from your staged changes.pr-review-toolkit— a toolkit for reviewing pull requests, from summaries to line-level feedback.claude-code-setup— scans a repository (read-only) and recommends the hooks, skills, MCP servers, and subagents worth adding for that project. The fastest way to configure a fresh clone.plugin-dev— scaffolding and tooling for building and testing your own plugins.agent-sdk-dev— tooling for developing on the Claude Agent SDK.
Design
frontend-design— pushes Claude toward distinctive, production-grade UI instead of generic "AI slop." The highest-impact plugin for user-facing work; see our Frontend Design plugin guide.
Skills tooling
skill-creator— interviews you about a workflow and scaffolds a well-formed skill, and can evaluate and improve existing ones. The meta-plugin for extending Claude Code yourself.
Output styles
explanatory-output-style— layers educational explanations onto Claude's responses.learning-output-style— a learn-as-you-go mode that teaches while it works.
Official Language-Server (LSP) Plugins
Language-server plugins give Claude real-time code intelligence — go-to-definition, find-references, and live type errors — instead of guessing from text. Anthropic ships eleven, one per language. Each requires the language's external server binary installed on your machine.
| Language | Plugin | Requires binary |
|---|---|---|
| TypeScript | typescript-lsp |
typescript-language-server |
| Python | pyright-lsp |
pyright-langserver |
| Go | gopls-lsp |
gopls |
| Rust | rust-analyzer-lsp |
rust-analyzer |
| C / C++ | clangd-lsp |
clangd |
| C# | csharp-lsp |
csharp-ls |
| Java | jdtls-lsp |
jdtls |
| Kotlin | kotlin-lsp |
kotlin-language-server |
| Lua | lua-lsp |
lua-language-server |
| PHP | php-lsp |
intelephense |
| Swift | swift-lsp |
sourcekit-lsp |
Install the one for your stack, e.g. /plugin install typescript-lsp@claude-plugins-official, then make sure the binary is on your PATH. Our Claude Code LSP plugins guide covers setup end to end.
Official Partner Integrations
Beyond its first-party tools, the official marketplace curates pre-configured MCP plugins — connections to external services over the Model Context Protocol — for the tools teams already use. Because Anthropic ships them pre-configured, you skip the manual server setup and just install with /plugin install <name>@claude-plugins-official:
| Category | Plugins |
|---|---|
| Source control | github, gitlab |
| Infrastructure | supabase, firebase, vercel |
| Design | figma |
| Project management | linear, asana, atlassian (Jira/Confluence), notion |
| Monitoring | sentry |
| Communication | slack |
| Testing | playwright |
This is a representative set, not the whole catalog — the official marketplace lists 200+ plugins and keeps growing, so run /plugin to see everything available in your session. For the ones actually worth installing first, see our tested best Claude Code plugins roundup.
How to Install Official Plugins
Because claude-plugins-official is registered automatically, installing is a single command — no marketplace setup required:
/plugin install frontend-design@claude-plugins-official
Run /plugin on its own to open the interactive manager, where you can browse, enable, disable, and update any installed plugin, and /reload-plugins to apply changes without restarting. For the full step-by-step, see how to install Claude Code plugins.
Official vs. Community Plugins
Anthropic runs two marketplaces, and knowing the difference keeps you safe:
claude-plugins-official |
claude-community |
|
|---|---|---|
| What's in it | First-party + vetted partner plugins | Reviewed third-party plugins |
| Registered | Automatically, on first launch | Manually (/plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-plugins-community) |
| Install suffix | @claude-plugins-official |
@claude-community |
| Trust level | Highest — Anthropic-maintained | Reviewed, community-built |
Beyond both, independent directories index thousands of unofficial plugins from across the ecosystem — useful for discovery, but without Anthropic's review. When in doubt, start official. If you are still sorting out how plugins relate to skills, subagents, and MCP, our skills vs. plugins vs. agents vs. MCP breakdown lays it out.
Which Official Plugins to Install First
You do not need all 200. A sensible starter set of Claude Code official plugins:
- A language server for your stack —
typescript-lsp,pyright-lsp, or whichever matches your code — for real-time type intelligence. code-review— a second pair of eyes on every change before you commit.security-guidance— already on by default, so simply leave it enabled.frontend-design— if you touch any UI at all.- The integrations your team lives in —
githubfirst, thensupabase,vercel,linear,sentry, orfigmaas needed.
Add skill-creator and plugin-dev once you want to build your own capabilities. For honest keep-or-skip verdicts across the whole field — official and community — see our tested best Claude Code plugins roundup.
Conclusion
The official Claude Code plugins are the curated core of the ecosystem: Anthropic's own dev-workflow tools, frontend-design, skill-creator, eleven language servers, and two output styles, plus vetted partner integrations for GitHub, Supabase, Vercel, Figma, and dozens more — all in the auto-registered claude-plugins-official marketplace. Start here, install a language server and the integrations your team lives in, and layer community plugins on top once you know what you need.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Some are. Anthropic maintains an official marketplace, claude-plugins-official, that contains both first-party plugins built by Anthropic (code-review, security-guidance, frontend-design, skill-creator, the language servers, and more) and vetted partner integrations for tools like GitHub, Supabase, Figma, and Vercel. Anthropic also runs a separate community marketplace, claude-community, for reviewed third-party plugins, and anyone can host their own marketplace from a git repository. So plugins range from Anthropic-built to community-made.
-
The official claude-plugins-official marketplace lists more than 200 plugins as of July 2026, and the number keeps growing. Around twenty of those are first-party plugins built by Anthropic — the dev-workflow tools, frontend-design, skill-creator, output styles, and eleven language servers — while the rest are vetted partner integrations. Because the catalog changes often, the most accurate count is always the one you see when you run /plugin in a live session.
-
Run /plugin install
@claude-plugins-official. The official marketplace is registered automatically the first time you launch Claude Code, so no setup is needed — for example, /plugin install code-review@claude-plugins-official works immediately. You can also run /plugin on its own to open the interactive manager and browse, enable, disable, or update plugins, and /reload-plugins to apply changes without restarting. -
Official plugins live in claude-plugins-official, a curated marketplace Anthropic maintains that holds first-party plugins and vetted partner integrations, and it is registered automatically. Community plugins live in claude-community (the anthropics/claude-plugins-community marketplace), which you add manually and install with the @claude-community suffix; these are reviewed third-party plugins. Beyond both, independent directories index thousands more unofficial plugins from across the ecosystem.
-
Yes. security-guidance is a first-party plugin in the official marketplace, and it ships enabled by default in recent Claude Code. It reviews Claude's code changes for vulnerabilities — injection, XSS, SSRF, exposed secrets, IDOR, and auth-bypass patterns — before the output reaches you. You can manage it like any other plugin through the /plugin manager, but for most people the right move is simply to leave it on.
-
Yes. The first-party plugins in claude-plugins-official are free to install, and so are the partner integrations. A partner plugin may connect to an external service that has its own pricing — a database, a monitoring platform, or a design tool — so you might need an account or API key for that service, but the plugin itself costs nothing. You still need Claude Code access to run any of them.
