Claude & Codex plugins
The 2server plugin packages one operating skill, its references and read-only
helpers. It uses the installed 2srv CLI; it does not install the CLI, connect
to a VM or provision infrastructure during plugin installation.
Prerequisites
Use Bun >= 1.3, Node >= 20 and a Claude Code/Codex release with plugin marketplace support. Install the product separately:
npm install -g @2server/cli@latest
2srv helpRun infrastructure commands from the consuming project's repository. The skill
finds version-matched product docs through the installed launcher, so a source
checkout is not required. Copied skills work the same way. Standard npm/Bun bin
symlinks and npm link are supported; an unrelated custom shell wrapper is not
treated as a product package.
Claude Code
After the catalog is published in 2found/2server, run in a shell:
claude plugin marketplace add 2found/2server
claude plugin install 2server@2found-2server
claude plugin details 2serverIn Claude Code, /plugin marketplace add 2found/2server and
/plugin install 2server@2found-2server provide the same installation flow.
Start a new session and invoke /2server:2server, or describe a 2server operation
for automatic skill selection. These instructions target Claude Code with local
shell access; installation in Claude's hosted surfaces does not supply a local
CLI or SSH access.
Codex
codex plugin marketplace add 2found/2server
codex plugin add 2server@2found-2server
codex plugin list --marketplace 2found-2serverStart a new thread and select the 2server skill or invoke $2server:2server.
Codex namespaces the installed plugin skill as 2server:2server. If a client has
marketplace browsing but no plugin add subcommand, add the source, then install
through its Plugins Directory. Confirm available commands with codex plugin --help.
To refresh a Git-backed source, use
codex plugin marketplace upgrade 2found-2server, then reinstall with
codex plugin add 2server@2found-2server. In Claude Code, use
claude plugin marketplace update 2found-2server, then
claude plugin update 2server@2found-2server. Restart the session after updates.
Local verification before publication
Use the absolute checkout path instead of 2found/2server in either marketplace
add command. This tests the working tree; it does not prove the hosted repository
contains those changes. Validate Claude's manifests first:
claude plugin validate ./skills --strict
claude plugin validate . --strictFor an isolated installation test, set CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR and CODEX_HOME to
separate temporary directories. Add the local checkout, install the plugin and
check its skill inventory. Do not replace the user's existing settings to test a
catalog. Remove only the temporary directories when finished.
For a direct skill installation, copy skills/2server/ into a supported skill
directory, such as ~/.agents/skills/2server/ for Codex or
~/.claude/skills/2server/ for Claude Code. A standalone copy is invoked as
$2server in Codex or /2server in Claude Code. Keep the references and scripts beside
SKILL.md. Do not install both a copied skill and the plugin unless duplicate
discovery is intended.
Distribution and official directories
The repository exposes two catalogs with the same marketplace and plugin IDs:
| Host | Catalog | Plugin manifest |
|---|---|---|
| Claude Code | .claude-plugin/marketplace.json | skills/.claude-plugin/plugin.json |
| Codex | .agents/plugins/marketplace.json | skills/.codex-plugin/plugin.json |
Both point to ./skills relative to the repository root. Only the skill bundle
is installed; product src/, bin/, private manifests and deployment state do
not belong to the plugin. Plugin version 0.1.1 is independent of npm's CLI
version. Keep both manifests' identities/versions aligned; increment the plugin
version when releasing skill changes so cached installations can update.
Adding a GitHub marketplace is separate from listing in an official directory:
- Claude Code: register this repo marketplace directly. Listing in Anthropic's directory requires its separate submission and acceptance process.
- ChatGPT/Codex: register this repo marketplace directly. Listing in the public Plugins Directory requires a developer submission, review and publication. A repository catalog is not evidence of approval. The compatibility manifest here is sufficient for repo installs; prepare the current portable package, listing icons and publisher metadata before public submission.
