Plugin System

Overview

PATAPIM works with two kinds of plugins:

  1. Claude Code plugins — PATAPIM surfaces Claude Code’s own plugin ecosystem (read from ~/.claude/plugins/), so you can browse, toggle and favorite them from Preferences.
  2. PATAPIM plugins — plugins that extend PATAPIM itself: they run isolated with a scoped token and can add MCP tools to every AI session, UI panels, toolbar buttons, scheduled tasks and more. This is PATAPIM’s own extensibility layer.

Claude Code plugins

Open Preferences (Ctrl+,):

  • Browse the marketplace
  • Toggle plugins on/off
  • Mark favorites
  • Settings stored in ~/.claude/settings.json

Changes sync between PATAPIM and Claude Code.

PATAPIM plugins

These live in ~/.patapim/plugins/, are managed under Preferences → Local API, and are built on PATAPIM’s Local API. The standout capability: a plugin’s tools appear automatically in every Claude Code / Codex session as MCP tools.
