Claude Code plugin marketplace

Ask Claude about Germany's open public-sector data

32 plugins with 99 skills teach Claude to use the maschinenlesbar.org command-line tools — for the Bundestag and Bundesrat, official statistics, weather and water levels, energy, public warnings, jobs and more.

/plugin marketplace add maschinenlesbar-org/plugins

Install

  1. 1 Add the marketplace

    Once, inside Claude Code:

    /plugin marketplace add maschinenlesbar-org/plugins
  2. 2 Install the CLI

    Each plugin drives a CLI you install yourself. Skills check it's on your PATH and never install anything.

    npm i -g @maschinenlesbar.org/fim-portal-cli
  3. 3 Install the plugin

    Then just ask — Claude picks the right skill.

    /plugin install fim-portal@maschinenlesbar

A few APIs need a free key or account; each plugin's page links to its requirements. Installing a plugin copies its CLI repository and runs npm ci --ignore-scripts there (about 35 MB) — the skills don't use those packages, they call the CLI you installed. Pick up new releases with /plugin marketplace update maschinenlesbar.
