Plugins

Extend your private MCP server with connectors.

A plugin is a connector to one of your systems. Install the MongoDB plugin and your AI can query your database. Install the Zoho CRM plugin and it can read and update your records. Each one adds real tools that show up instantly in Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, and any connected MCP client.

Package Manifest Format

Installable plugins ship a manifest.json at the package root. The desktop app validates protocol_version, optional digest, and registers MCP tools as {plugin_slug}_{tool_name}.
