CodeClone ships a native Claude Code plugin through the public orenlab/codeclone-claude-code marketplace repository.
This is distinct from the
Claude Desktop .mcpb bundle. Claude Code loads
skills and the MCP definition; Claude Desktop installs an extension bundle.
- Claude Code with plugin support
- Python 3.10+
- a local
