Browse the catalog
Search plugins or browse their categories. Open a plugin to inspect its description, source, included skills, apps, MCP servers, and setup state. The Installed shelf shows your installed plugins. Installation and authentication are separate: a plugin can be installed while one of its included apps still needs setup. Unavailable installs display a reason. Catalog contents and access policies depend on the provider and your account.Install and connect
