Anthropic Brings Plugins to Cowork

Anthropic open-sourced 11 plugins allowing non-developers to automate tasks across departments and improve workflows using the Claude AI assistant, now available to paid users.

  • Anthropic extended Cowork with customizable plugins earlier this month, debuting 11 open-source plugins on GitHub on Friday and enabling them for Claude users on Pro and Max plans.
  • Anthropic built Cowork to bring Claude Code benefits to non-coders, designing plugins to automate tasks across departments and let enterprises customize workflows for consistent results.
  • Saved locally on users' machines, plugins install and build inside the Claude desktop app using the Plugin Create plugin, including connectors such as CRM integrations and a meta-plugin for customization.
  • For sales and marketing, plugins enable Claude to act as a cross-functional expert across tasks, with bespoke use-cases in prospect research, content drafting, productivity, and financial forecasting.
  • Despite the local-first design, Anthropic says an organization-wide sharing tool is coming, and at a TechCrunch event on June 23, 2026, it said broader plugin use helps Claude optimize workflows.
