Install the MixShift plugin

The plugin installs from the MixShift catalog on GitHub. Pick the path that matches how you use Claude; each takes a few minutes, and every path ends the same way: you sign in once and start asking questions about your data.

Which path is right for me?

You use the Cowork desktop app on your own. Follow the Cowork steps below.
Your team uses Cowork and you want everyone to have it. An org admin publishes it once. See Install for your whole team.
Your company manages Claude centrally (Team or Enterprise plan). Your Claude admin adds it through the admin console. See the admin console note below.
You use Claude Code (the terminal or desktop app). Two commands, below.
You want the MixShift CLI without Claude. See the CLI note at the bottom.
You use claude.ai in a browser, or the Claude Desktop app. The plugin does not install there. Connect MixShift as an MCP connector instead and you get the same data in chat, without the packaged skills: see Connect AI tools over MCP.

We recommend the stable channel for everyone. It is the tested release cut; installs that skip it track the newest changes before they are announced.

Before you start

An active MixShift account. You sign in with your MixShift work email.
Node.js version 20 or newer on your computer. To check, open a terminal and run node --version.

Install in Cowork (personal)

In Cowork, click Customize in the left sidebar.
Click the + button and choose Add marketplace from GitHub.
Paste https://github.com/miXshift/mx-claude-plugin/tree/stable and confirm. This registers the MixShift catalog on your seat only.
Open the Directory view (Skills / Connectors / Plugins under Customize).
Find mixshift-ai in the plugin list and click Install.
In the same view, turn on Sync automatically for the MixShift marketplace so you keep getting updates.

The plugin appears under Personal plugins in your sidebar.

Install in Claude Code

Run these two commands inside Claude Code:

/plugin marketplace add https://github.com/miXshift/mx-claude-plugin.git#stable
/plugin install mixshift-ai@mixshift

Use the full address with #stable as written; short forms pin you to the wrong channel.

Company-wide installs

Cowork organization: an org admin publishes the plugin once from Organization settings and every seat gets it. See Install for your whole team.
Claude admin console (Team and Enterprise plans): your Claude admin uploads the MixShift marketplace zip from the GitHub Releases page, or points a private mirror repository at our stable channel so updates flow automatically. Ask us if your admin wants a hand; this path takes minutes.

CLI without Claude

Builders and scripts can use the bundled mixshift command line directly: clone the repository, then build the harness (npm install and npm run build inside the harness folder) and put harness/bin/mixshift on your PATH. This needs git and Node 20 or newer. Most people do not need this path; the plugin installs the CLI for you.
