payload-marketplace is Payload CMS's Claude Code plugin marketplace bundling a development plugin for collections, fields, hooks, access control, and database adapters.

About

payload-marketplace is Payload CMS's Claude Code plugin catalog entry, bundling one development plugin that steers agent work across the Payload surface: collections, fields, hooks, access control, first-party plugins, and database adapters. Developers building a content-driven app on Payload register it so the agent mirrors official Payload conventions during backend build-out instead of inventing incompatible config. The manifest is early-stage (v0.0.1) but the scope is clear: build-time backend guidance, not deployment or monitoring. It is published by Payload (info@payloadcms.com) from a ./tools/claude-plugin source path.

  • One official Payload development plugin at marketplace version 0.0.1
  • Covers collections, fields, hooks, access control, plugins, and database adapters
  • Published by Payload (info@payloadcms.com) from ./tools/claude-plugin
  • Scoped to headless-CMS backend work, not generic CRUD snippets
