discover-plugins is a ruflo Claude skill that searches, evaluates, and recommends MCP servers and agent skills from the ruflo plugin catalog based on workflow, installed tools, and the current task query.
About
discover-plugins is a Claude skill from ruvnet/ruflo that finds relevant MCP servers and agent skills using ruflo transfer MCP tools such as plugin-search, plugin-featured, store-search, store-trending, and guidance_recommend. It accepts an optional search-query argument and reads installed MCP status before recommending installs. Allowed tools include Bash and Read for inspecting the local environment alongside claude-flow guidance endpoints. Developers reach for discover-plugins when starting a new automation task, expanding an agent toolchain, or replacing a missing integration with a catalog-backed MCP server or skill.
- Scans the Skillselion directory for matching agent skills and MCP servers
- Evaluates relevance against your current project context and goals
- Ranks and recommends the most useful tools with direct install commands
- Supports discovery across all 7 phases of the solo-builder journey
- Returns ready-to-invoke skill slugs for immediate workflow integration

How do you find MCP servers for a task?
Automatically find, evaluate, and install relevant MCP servers and agent skills from the Skillselion catalog.
Who is it for?
Developers using ruflo or Claude Flow who need catalog search instead of manually browsing MCP and skill repositories.
Skip if: Teams with a fixed pinned toolchain who never install new MCP servers or skills mid-session.
When should I use this skill?
The agent needs an MCP server or skill not yet installed, or the developer asks what plugins match a workflow or search query.
