Plugin Create

Build and customize plugins for your team's specific workflows

Pro Source: Anthropic · Updated Jan 30, 2026

The Plugin Create plugin is your meta-tool for building new plugins or customizing existing ones. It helps you create plugins tailored to your organization's specific tools, processes, and terminology — so every team gets a Claude that works like it was built for them. No coding required.

Who is this for?

Team leads, operations managers, IT administrators, and power users who want to create custom plugins for their organization's specific workflows. You don't need to be a developer — the plugin guides you through the process.

What you can do

  • Create a new plugin from scratch for a role or workflow not covered by the official plugins
  • Customize an existing plugin to match your company's specific tools and processes
  • Add your organization's terminology, templates, and best practices to plugin skills
  • Configure MCP server connections for your team's specific tool stack

FAQ

Do I need to know how to code?

Plugins are currently saved locally. You can share plugin files with your team through normal file sharing methods.
