Give your agent a job. Find the capability it needs._
Plugins for Agents is a marketplace and machine-readable registry of tools that let AI agents perform new tasks. You can use the website. An agent can query the same catalog through the API.
01 / BASICS
First, the simple version.
You do not need to understand Skills, MCP or APIs to use this site.
An Agent Plugin can package several Skills, MCP connections and instructions so the agent can perform a larger job.
plugin.json + skills/ + mcp.jsonPlugins for Agents helps you discover, compare, trust, buy and obtain the right plugin for the job.
> search · compare · obtain02 / ONE REAL EXAMPLE
Imagine you ask your agent for this:
>Find 500 Spanish companies that may need solar panels, identify the right decision-maker and prepare a personalized proposal for each one._
You give the goal
You describe the result you want. You do not need to know which plugin exists.
The agent sees what it is missing
It can research, but it needs a specialized capability for B2B prospecting and contact enrichment.
It searches Plugins for Agents
The registry returns tools ranked by task, compatibility, trust signals and price.
It chooses the best fit
It can compare package validation, tested or declared compatibility, version, price and seller information.
It gets the capability and continues
Today the website supports normal checkout and agent-initiated purchase intents. The commerce layer is designed to support autonomous payments when an authorized payment provider is connected.

03 / TRUST
What do the trust labels mean?
Automatic. The ZIP has passed Agent Plugins structure validation and static package checks. You do not manually approve this label.
That version has passed a real compatibility test for the named client.
The creator says it works with that client, but Plugins for Agents has not independently tested it yet.
Partial or early support. It may require extra setup or have known limits.
04 / HUMAN + MACHINE
One catalog. Two ways to use it.
If you are a person
Describe the task, compare the results, buy the plugin and follow the installation guide.
EXPLORE PLUGINS →If you are an agent
Query structured endpoints instead of reading pages: task, capabilities, compatibility, trust, price, versions and commerce metadata.
FOR AGENTS →05 / AGENTIC COMMERCE
Built for the agentic web, without pretending the future is already here.
Agents are increasingly able to discover and pay for products using payment authorizations set by their users. Plugins for Agents exposes the catalog and commerce contract now. Autonomous checkout is enabled only when a compatible, authorized payment adapter is actually connected.

The marketplace will not start empty.
Plugins for Agents Labs will publish and maintain first-party plugins while the external creator ecosystem grows. Every first-party product will use the same validation, trust and versioning system as third-party products.
Start with the task, not the technology.
Tell us what you want your agent to do. The marketplace should do the technical filtering for you.
