Claude Code Plugin

The Claude Code Plugin lets you execute Manako monitoring operations using natural language as Claude Code skills.

Tip

You can also use the MCP Server directly. See the MCP Server Guide for details. The Plugin provides CLI integration and guided skill-based operations on top of the MCP Server functionality.

Installation

/plugin Command (Recommended)

Run the following commands in Claude Code:

1. Add the marketplace

   /plugin marketplace add elchika-inc/manako-dev

2. Install the Plugin

   /plugin install manako@manako-dev

   You can choose an installation scope:

   • User (default) — Available across all projects
   • Project — Shared with your team (recorded in .claude/settings.json)
   • Local — This repository only

3. Load the Plugin

   /reload-plugins

Manual Installation

1. Clone the repository

   git clone https://github.com/elchika-inc/manako-dev.git

2. Add the Plugin to your Claude Code settings

   Add the path to enabledPlugins in .claude/settings.json:

   {
     "enabledPlugins": [
       "/path/to/manako-dev/claude-code-plugin"
     ]
   }

3. Restart Claude Code

   The Plugin will be loaded, making skills and the MCP Server available.

Setup

After installing the Plugin, ask Claude Code to “set up manako” and the setup skill will guide you through the process.

Authentication Methods

CLI Authentication (Recommended)

This is the easiest method if you have the Manako CLI installed:

manako login --api-key mk_your_api_key_here

You can issue an API Key from Settings > API Keys in the Dashboard.

MCP Session Authentication

Even without the CLI, the MCP Server configuration bundled with the Plugin will auto-connect.

Ask Claude Code to “Log in to Manako,” and session authentication will be performed using your email address and password. Sessions are valid for 24 hours.

MCP API Key Authentication

Set the API Key via an environment variable:

export MANAKO_API_KEY=mk_your_api_key_here

Tool Priority

Plugin skills automatically select the available tool in the following priority order:

1. CLI (manako command) - If installed locally
2. MCP (Manako MCP Server) - Auto-configured via the bundled .mcp.json
3. API (direct curl calls) - Fallback

Differences from MCP Server

Feature	MCP Server	Claude Code Plugin
MCP Tools	Yes	Yes (bundled)
CLI Integration	-	Yes (used preferentially)
