Installing plugins from the Claude Marketplace

Once you’ve added the Claude Marketplace, installing and managing plugins is a few commands.

Browse and install

# See what's available
claude plugin list

# Install a plugin
claude plugin install <plugin-name>@robworks-claude-code-plugins

You can install at a specific scope with -s user, -s project, or -s local depending on whether you want the plugin everywhere, in one project, or just locally.

Update and remove

# Update a plugin to its latest version
claude plugin update <plugin-name>@robworks-claude-code-plugins

# Temporarily disable, or fully remove
claude plugin disable <plugin-name>@robworks-claude-code-plugins
claude plugin uninstall <plugin-name>@robworks-claude-code-plugins

Refreshing the catalog

When new plugins are added to the marketplace or versions change, refresh your local copy of the catalog:

claude plugin marketplace update robworks-claude-code-plugins

If adding or installing hangs

Cloning happens over git, which has a default timeout. On a slow connection you can raise it and retry:

export CLAUDE_CODE_PLUGIN_GIT_TIMEOUT_MS=300000

No token is needed for these public plugins; if an install fails with an auth error, check your general GitHub access with gh auth status.

Note that installing, updating, enabling, or disabling a plugin generally takes effect the next time you start Claude Code. See the official Claude Code documentation for the exact activation behavior in your version.
