Claude Plugins Official (Anthropic registry)
Official Anthropic-maintained registry aggregating first-party Claude Code plugins (skills, commands, hooks, MCP servers). 24 plugins endorsed by major orgs (Mercado Libre, UI5, etc.) plus in-house Anthropic plugins. Regularly updated by the Anthropic team, top authority for bootstrapping a production Claude Code setup. Install via `/plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-plugins-official` inside Claude Code, then `/plugin install <name>`.
