Claudin
Live official docs for Claude Code, claude.ai/Cowork, the Claude API, MCP, the Agent Client Protocol, OpenAI/Codex and xAI/Grok — looked up, not remembered. Plus builder skills for plugins, MCP servers and skills. Replaces Anthropic's plugin-dev and mcp-server-dev and the MCP mcp-apps plugin (their pins had gone stale: hook list, manifest fields, ext-apps 1.x, pre-2026 spec).
Just want answers
Install it and ask: "how do Claude Code hooks block a tool call?", "does Cowork run plugin agents?", "what changed in the MCP 2026-07-28 spec?". docs-lookup picks the right server, reads the full page and answers with the link. Nothing to build or configure.
| Docs MCP (public, authless) | Covers |

claude-ai-docs — https://claude.com/docs/mcp | claude.ai/Cowork features, plugins & skills, surface support matrix, connectors, directory review |
claude-platform-docs — https://platform.claude.com/docs/mcp | Claude API, SDK reference, Managed Agents, models |
mcp-docs — https://modelcontextprotocol.io/mcp | MCP spec revisions, SDKs, extensions (Apps, Skills), Inspector |
acp-docs — https://agentclientprotocol.com/mcp | Agent Client Protocol (editor ↔ coding agent): spec v1/v2, libraries, registry, RFDs |

xai-docs — https://docs.x.ai/api/mcp | Grok Build (plugins, skills, hooks, MCP, CLI) and the xAI API |
openai-docs matches an existing connector URL, so installing reuses it.
Building something
| Skill | What it does |
|---|---|
plugin-dev | Surface matrix (chat/Cowork/Code/Codex/Grok Build), portable layout, gotchas, Claude Code component shapes, Claude→OpenAI conversion, other hosts (Grok Build, Copilot CLI, Antigravity, Gemini CLI, M365 Cowork) |
mcp-dev | Deployment choice, tool design + directory rules, OpenAPI wrapping, OAuth (CIMD/DCR), MCP Apps (standard vs window.openai), Skills over MCP, MCPB, submission; scripts/mcp_probe.py probes any remote server (both spec eras) and lints annotations |
skill-creator-v2 | Skill lifecycle hub: need-a-skill check, index reconcile, create/edit, evals + viewer + benchmark, description optimization (claude -p, Claude Code), OpenAI agents/openai.yaml, claude.ai compat audit, quick_validate / package_skill. Moved here from standalone (uninstall that copy) |
Surfaces
- claude.ai chat / Cowork: skills + the seven remote MCPs. The sandbox runs
mcp_probe.pyagainst public URLs. - Claude Code: same, plus
claude plugin validate, Inspector, local servers, MCPB packing. - Codex / ChatGPT:
.codex-plugin/plugin.jsonoverlay; skills are provider-neutral where it matters. - Antigravity:
agy plugin import claude, or the.antigravity-plugin/+mcp_config.jsonoverlay from the account build. Gemini CLI: needs agemini-extension.json. Neither overlay is kept in this repo: both would duplicate themcp.jsonURL list. - Grok Build, Copilot CLI: load this plugin as a Claude Code plugin, no extra files.
Docs for hosts without a bundled MCP (GitHub Copilot, Antigravity, Gemini CLI, M365) are fetched from their official sites; the GitHub, Google Developer Knowledge and Microsoft Learn connectors are used only if the session already has them.
Related, not duplicated: skill-creator-v2 (SKILL.md authoring, packaging, claude.ai compat), built-in plugin-authoring (mods), product-self-knowledge (plans, pricing), cloudflare (Worker hosting).
Sources and licenses: each skill's NOTICE.md / LICENSE.txt.
Also folded in (Nov 2026): the private openai-dev-kit (travnie/twojstar) — search/fetch standard, .app.json registration flow, MCP Apps archetypes and state-sync patterns, validation ladder, shortDescription ≤30 rule.
twojstar package
Canonical source here is the portable plugin.json + mcp.json + skills/; the Claude Code marketplace entry and the Codex overlay are generated (plugins/_shared/).
python -m pip install -r plugins/_shared/requirements.txt
python plugins/_shared/package_plugin.py plugins/claudin /tmp/claudin-1.8.0.zip
Claude Code: /plugin install claudin@twojstar (after /plugin marketplace add travnie/twojstar).
