Claude Code Just Got Plugins & Runtime MCP Toggles 🔥 (Huge Update Explained)

Claude Code just dropped two huge quality-of-life updates that will save you hours: Runtime MCP Server Toggling and the new Plugin Marketplace. No more manually installing agents, MCP servers, hooks, and slash commands one by one — everything’s now installable and switchable directly inside Claude Code. In this video, I’ll walk you through both updates step-by-step — showing how to enable or disable MCP servers mid-session, manage your context window more efficiently, and explore the new plugin marketplace (now in public beta). You’ll see real examples using Seth Hobson’s Claude Code Essentials, learn how to add marketplaces, browse and install plugins, and even create your own. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 0:04 – Feature #1: Runtime MCP Server Toggling 0:14 – Demo: Enabling/Disabling MCP Servers Mid-Session 0:26 – Why This Matters (Context Window Management) 1:36 – Feature #2: Plugin Marketplace (Public Beta) 2:13 – Example: Seth Hobson’s Claude Code Essentials 2:26 – Demo: Installing Plugins via /plugins Command 3:36 – Results: All Agents Available Instantly 3:42 – Time Saved: Huge for Teams & Organizations 3:52 – How to Create Your Own Plugin Marketplace 4:20 – Final Thoughts & Future Wishlist 🔗 RELEVANT LINKS Claude Code Plugin Docs → https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/claude-code/plugins Anthropic Blog: Claude Code Plugins → https://www.anthropic.com/news/claude-code-plugins Seth Hobson’s Agents Repo → https://github.com/wshobson/agents Book a call with me → https://yedatechs.com/#container06 Sponsorship inquiries → hi@yedatechs.com #ClaudeCode #MCPServer #ClaudeCodePlugins #RuntimeMCP #Anthropic #ClaudeAI #Codex #AIAgents #DeveloperTools #OpenSource #Automation #MCPMarketplace #ClaudeCodeUpdate #AIWorkflow #AIDevelopment #DevTools
