24 Plugins, Skills, and MCP Servers to Install in Claude, Quentin IA Marketing

Claude out of the box is a brilliant chat and nothing else. No access to your tools, no working method, no domain knowledge. All of that gets installed, and it installs fast. The difference between a Claude that answers and a Claude that works is what you have installed around it.

Here is the base: 8 plugins, 8 skills, and 8 MCP servers. Plugins add entire capabilities, skills add know-how, MCP servers plug in your real tools. Every item fits in two lines, with its exact install command or path.

Claude AI Lab

The Claude AI Lab is my Skool community where I share my Claude systems and the more advanced modules. Access is $67/month.

✅What you need

Claude Code installed. Plugins and skills install with one command in the terminal or directly inside Claude Code.

The Claude app (web or desktop). Most MCP servers connect in two clicks under Settings then Connectors, often via OAuth with no keys at all.

One evening, not one month. You do not install all 24 at once: section 4 gives you the smart order.

The 8 MCP servers

🔌 Settings then Connectors, or claude mcp add

An MCP server plugs Claude into a real tool: it reads and writes there, instead of asking you for copy-pastes. This is where "find the work" becomes "read my inbox, my CRM, my store".

⚡

Zapier

Thousands of apps and actions behind a single connection. If you only install one connector from this section, it is this one. Set up at zapier.com/mcp, then add the server URL to Claude's connectors.

🗂️

Notion

Reads and writes your databases, docs, and wikis. Official. Easiest: the Notion connector in claude.ai settings; via CLI, claude mcp add.

💬

Slack

Posts updates, reads channels, pulls action items. Official and hosted by Slack: your workspace admin approves it once.

📝

Granola

Every meeting note and transcript becomes searchable in Claude. OAuth connector in claude.ai settings, no keys to handle.

🌐

Perplexity

Real-time web search and deep research inside Claude. Official server, Perplexity API key required, then claude mcp add.

🕷️

Apify

Scraping without code: competitor research, lead lists, social comments, through thousands of ready-made scrapers. Hosted server at mcp.apify.com, or claude mcp add.

🛍️

Shopify

Your store's orders, products, and customers on tap. Community-built: Shopify's own MCP targets developer docs, not your store. claude mcp add with your Admin API token.

💳

Stripe

Your revenue questions in plain English: MRR, churn, failed payments, top customers. Official: hosted server at mcp.stripe.com via OAuth.

The MCP safety rule

An MCP server has the permissions you give it. Start read-only when the option exists, and only wire up write access (sending, publishing, charging) on tools where you review the output anyway.

The install order

🗺️ the base in one evening, the rest on demand

24 items does not mean 24 installs on the first evening. The order matters more than the volume.

🗺️The smart path

Start with find-skills. It is the one install that speeds up all the others: from there, you ask Claude to install the rest for you.

Install your craft, not the catalog. Pick the 2 or 3 items that touch your daily work: marketingskills and claude-seo if you do growth, financial-services if you do finance, frontend-design if you build interfaces.

One MCP server to start. Connect the tool where your data already lives (Notion, Slack, or your store). You will feel the difference in the first session, without multiplying access.

The rest on demand. One install the moment a need shows up beats 24 installs you forget about. The list is here to last, not to be swallowed.

The collector's trap

Installing does not make you better, using does. Every item on this list is only worth something plugged into a real task in your week.

Once the base is in place, Claude changes nature: it knows your tools, it applies proven methods, and it produces finished deliverables instead of suggestions. Same model, but not the same workstation anymore.

Where to start

Install find-skills now, pick the 2 or 3 items for your craft, connect one first MCP server. The base takes one evening to set up and serves you every day after.
