Claude Desktop supports Cekura two ways: install the plugin (Skills + MCP, recommended) or add the MCP server as a connector (MCP only).

​
Install the plugin

The plugin bundles Cekura Skills and the MCP server. Skills are available in both Chat and Cowork.
1

Open the Plugins tab

In Claude Desktop, open the Customize menu → Plugins.
2

Add the Cekura marketplace

In Personal plugins, click + → Add marketplace → Add from a repository, and enter cekura-ai/cekura-skills.
3

Install cekura

Install the cekura plugin from the marketplace.
4

Authorize MCP

Complete the OAuth browser sign-in to your Cekura dashboard account when prompted — no API key needed.
Plugin hooks and sub-agents run only in Cowork (they appear grayed out in Chat). If MCP tools don’t appear in a Chat session, add the Cekura connector (Settings → Connectors) — see manual setup.

​
Verify setup

Start a new chat and ask: 
Use the Cekura skills and MCP. List my Cekura agents, pick one, and propose 3 evaluators I should create first. Do not create anything until I approve.
Claude should list real agents from your workspace. With the plugin installed, it also reasons in Cekura terms (evaluators, metrics, test profiles). On a connector-only setup, phrase requests with the workflow you want — metrics, evaluators, runs, call logs, or reports.

​
Prefer the terminal or full plugin power?

Use Claude Code — the CLI (or the Desktop app’s Code tab) gives slash commands like /cekura-onboarding, /autogen-eval, and /cekura-report, plugin update support via /upgrade-skills, and the MCP failure hook.

​
Troubleshooting

The plugin’s MCP may run in Cowork. Add the Cekura connector (Settings → Connectors) to get MCP tools in Chat, then restart Claude Desktop.
Re-authorize from the plugin (or Settings → Connectors) and confirm your browser is signed into the intended Cekura account.
Restart Claude Desktop, confirm the cekura plugin is installed under Customize → Plugins, and (for the connector) verify the URL is exactly https://api.cekura.ai/mcp.
OAuth is the recommended path. If your workspace requires API-key auth or custom headers, use the API-key setup or Claude Code.
