24 Things
To Install
In Claude

8 plugins. 8 skills. 8 MCP servers. Every link and install command is on this page, plus the order I’d install them in. You won’t remember 24 names, so bookmark this.

There are three kinds of installs on this page, and each one works a little differently.

  1. Plugins live in Claude Code. Type /plugin to browse, or add the marketplace shown under each item. One plugin can bundle commands, agents and skills.
  2. Skills mostly install with one terminal command, npx skills add, and work in Claude Code and other coding agents. Anthropic’s own skills are already built into the Claude app.
  3. MCP servers connect Claude to your real tools. Most now have a one-click connector in the Claude app. In Claude Code you add them with claude mcp add.

Start with three: find-skills, context7 and Zapier. Add the rest when your real work asks for them. A stack you use beats a museum of installs.

The Order I’d Install Them In

01

Week 1

find-skills, context7 and Zapier. One finds skills for you, one keeps Claude’s coding knowledge current, and one reaches 9,000 apps.

02

Week 2

Notion or Slack (wherever your work lives), plus Granola if you have meetings. Then turn on skill-creator and the Office skills so Claude hands you real files.

03

Week 3

Shopify and Stripe if you sell anything. marketingskills, claude-seo and Apify if you create or market anything.

04

Week 4

gstack or superpowers (pick one, they overlap), codex-plugin-cc, frontend-design and web-design-guidelines if you build, hyperframes for video, and caveman if you keep hitting limits.

Pick My Starter Stack
You are my Claude setup coach. Your goal is to pick the 3 to 5 installs that will save me the most time this month, from the list below, and nothing more. ABOUT ME - My job and what I do most days: [describe] - Tools my work lives in: [e.g. Notion, Slack, Shopify, Google Drive, Stripe] - Where I use Claude: [Claude app only / Claude Code too / not sure] - How technical I am: [never opened a terminal / comfortable with commands] - The 3 tasks that eat the most of my week: [list] THE LIST Plugins: gstack, superpowers, codex-plugin-cc, financial-services, claude-for-legal, claude-skills, marketingskills, context7 Skills: find-skills, skill-creator, Office skills (docx/pptx/xlsx), frontend-design, web-design-guidelines, hyperframes, claude-seo, caveman MCP servers: Zapier, Notion, Slack, Granola, Perplexity, Apify, Shopify, Stripe STEPS 1. Ask me up to 3 short questions if anything above is missing or unclear. Wait for my answers. 2. Match each of my 3 biggest tasks to the install that helps it most. Skip anything that needs Claude Code if I only use the Claude app. 3. Rank your picks by time saved per week. OUTPUT A short table with columns: Install | Which task it helps | What I'll be able to do | Setup difficulty (easy / medium / needs a terminal). Then one first test I can run with each pick today, written as a prompt I can paste. RULES - Recommend 5 at most. Say what to skip and why in one line. - Never guess install commands. Tell me to copy them from the official page or README. - Flag anything that can change real data (Shopify, Stripe, Notion, Slack) and tell me to start read-only or with a test.

Good To Know

Repos and install counts move fast. I checked every link and command on this page on November 1, 2026. If something gets renamed, ask find-skills to track it down.
