Installation

Add the AgentPowers MCP server to your Claude Code config: 
claude mcp add agentpowers -- npx -y @agentpowers/mcp-server
Or add it manually to your .mcp.json: 
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agentpowers": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@agentpowers/mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}
Plugin marketplace support (claude plugin install agentpowers) is coming soon. In the meantime, the MCP server provides the full set of 26 marketplace tools.
The MCP server gives Claude access to marketplace tools during your conversation.

​
Authentication

The plugin shares the same auth token stored by the CLI. Log in once with the CLI: 
ap login
The plugin picks up the token automatically.

​
Guided Flow (/ap)

Type /ap in any conversation to launch the guided marketplace experience:
  1. Search — Find skills by keyword
  2. Browse categories — Explore available categories
  3. Check updates — See if your installed skills have newer versions
  4. Manage installed — List and uninstall skills
The /ap command uses the same MCP tools listed below but wraps them in a conversational flow.

​
Available Tools

Once enabled, Claude has access to these tools during conversation:

​
search_marketplace

Search the marketplace by keyword, category, or type: 
"Find me a Python testing skill"
"Search for agents in the dev category"
Claude calls search_marketplace with your query and presents matching results from both AgentPowers and external sources (e.g., ClawHub).

​
get_skill_details

View details about a specific skill or agent: 
"Show me details for the code-review-pro skill"
"Get details for weather from ClawHub"
Returns the full description, price, security status, version, author, download count, and star rating (average and review count when available). Supports an optional source parameter to look up skills from specific sources.

​
install_skill

Install a skill or agent directly from conversation: 
"Install the code-review-pro skill"
For free skills, installation happens immediately. For paid skills, Claude opens Stripe Checkout in your browser. The plugin checks security status before installing and saves a version pin for update tracking.

​
check_purchase_status

Check whether a purchase has completed: 
"Check the status of my purchase abc-123"
Returns payment status and license code if completed. Requires authentication.

​
check_installed

List all installed skills and agents: 
"What skills do I have installed?"
Shows each installed skill’s version, source, security status, and whether it has been locally edited.

​
uninstall_skill

Remove an installed skill or agent: 
"Uninstall the code-review-pro skill"
Removes the skill directory and its version pin.

​
check_for_updates

Check if any installed skills have newer versions available: 
"Are any of my skills out of date?"
Reports which skills are up to date, which have updates, and which have been locally edited. Use ap update in your terminal to install updates.
