How to install the Toolkit plugin for Claude Code

The Toolkit ships a Claude Code plugin that lets you interact with the eai CLI through natural language. It bundles knowledge of common workflows (submitting jobs, managing data, debugging, etc.) so Claude can pick the right command and flags for you.

The plugin is served as a self-hosted marketplace from console.elementai.com.

Install

Make sure Claude Code is installed and you have the eai CLI on your PATH (see Tutorial: Toolkit in Action).

From any Claude Code session, add the marketplace and install the plugin:

claude plugin marketplace add https://console.elementai.com/cli/claude/skills.git
claude plugin install toolkit@eai-toolkit

Reload plugins (or restart the session) when prompted:
```
/reload-plugins
```

You can confirm the install with /plugin list.

Get updates

The marketplace is third-party from Claude Code’s perspective, so automatic updates are off by default. Two ways to stay current:

Recommended – enable auto-update once. In any Claude Code session, run /plugin and navigate to Marketplaces -> eai-toolkit -> Enable auto-update. From then on, Claude Code will fetch new versions on each session start and prompt you to /reload-plugins.

Manual. Run periodically:

claude plugin marketplace update eai-toolkit

If a newer plugin version is available, Claude Code will upgrade it automatically on the next session start.

Troubleshoot

Failed to clone marketplace repository: The URL must end in .git. If you used the no-.git form, claude plugin marketplace add will try to fetch marketplace.json directly and fail with a schema error.
timeout of 10000ms exceeded: Check that your internet connection is working and that you can reach Toolkit via the UI or CLI.
