Search and install Claude Code extensions mid-conversation
An MCP server that gives Claude direct access to the CodeGuilds registry — so you can search, discover, and install Claude Code extensions mid-conversation, without leaving your chat.
Once installed, Claude can:
npx codeguilds install <slug> for one-command installsAdd to ~/.claude/settings.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"codeguilds": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@codeguilds/mcp-server"]
}
}
}
Then restart Claude Code. Verify with /mcp — you should see codeguilds listed as connected.
"Find me an MCP server for Notion"
"What's the best code review skill in the registry?"
"Show me the React & Next.js dev collection"
"How do I install context7?"
"I need a hook that runs tests before Claude commits"
Claude will call the registry automatically whenever your request is about finding or installing Claude Code extensions.
