PinRAG — Claude Code plugin

A Claude Code plugin for PinRAG: local RAG over PDFs, YouTube, GitHub repos, and Discord exports, with citations.

The Python package (pinrag on PyPI) lives in ndjordjevic/pinrag. This repo ships only the Claude Code plugin layout: manifest (.claude-plugin/plugin.json), bundled MCP (.mcp.json), and the use-pinrag skill.

Contents

Path	Purpose
.claude-plugin/plugin.json	Plugin manifest (schema)
.mcp.json	MCP server: uvx --refresh pinrag
skills/use-pinrag/SKILL.md	Agent skill — maps user requests to PinRAG MCP tools
assets/pinrag-icon.svg	Icon for marketplace / docs
LICENSE	MIT (matches plugin.json license)

Prerequisites

• uv on your PATH (used by uvx to run pinrag).
• API keys: Set OPENAI_API_KEY in the MCP env block (default: OpenAI embeddings and chat). For Anthropic as the query LLM, set PINRAG_LLM_PROVIDER=anthropic and ANTHROPIC_API_KEY — see the PinRAG README.
• Stable index: Set PINRAG_PERSIST_DIR to an absolute path (e.g. ~/.pinrag/chroma_db) so the vector store is not tied to the working directory.

Install in Claude Code

From a local clone (development)

git clone https://github.com/ndjordjevic/pinrag-plugin.git
cd pinrag-plugin
claude --plugin-dir .

After changes, run /reload-plugins in Claude Code to pick up updates.

From the official marketplace

Submit or list plugins via:

• claude.ai/settings/plugins/submit
• platform.claude.com/plugins/submit

See Create plugins and Discover and install plugins.

Usage

• With the plugin enabled, the MCP server starts from .mcp.json and the skill is available as /pinrag:use-pinrag (namespace matches the name field in plugin.json).
• Invoke /help to confirm the skill appears under the plugin namespace.
