How to Add a Plugin Marketplace to Claude Cowork

Install the Altrym GitHub plugin marketplace in Claude Cowork through Customize > Connectors so users can add Telvine Plugin Builder.

Claude Cowork lets users add personal plugin marketplaces from Git. This is the right path for installing Telvine Plugin Builder without passing around a zip file.

The GitHub browser page for the marketplace is:

https://github.com/Altrym/example-plugin-marketplace/tree/main

Do not paste a /tree/main/... GitHub page into the Source field. Cowork clones the Source as a Git remote, so Source must be the repo root.

Open Add marketplace

In Claude Cowork, go to:

Customize > Connectors > + > Browse plugins > Personal > + > Add marketplace

Enter the Telvine marketplace values:

FieldValue
Sourcehttps://github.com/Altrym/example-plugin-marketplace.git
Git refmain
Sparse paths.agents/plugins and plugins

Then add Telvine Plugin Builder from the marketplace.

The plugin lives at:

plugins/telvine-plugin-builder

Which Git ref should you use?

Use main for the latest Telvine marketplace. Use a version tag when you need a pinned release for a team rollout.

When the marketplace source changes on the selected Git ref, Claude Cowork can pick up the newer plugin after the marketplace is refreshed or reinstalled. Active sessions may continue using the version they already loaded.

Why Git instead of zip?

Git gives users a repeatable install path and a source of truth for updates. Zip upload is fine for local testing, but it makes version drift more likely once more than one person is using the plugin.
