Claude Code MCP Plugin

The official Snipara plugin for Claude Code adds slash commands, auto-invoked skills, and automation hooks that make context optimization and safe code execution seamless.

Secondary helper

Optional Claude Code helper

The primary Claude Code connection remains Hosted MCP. The plugin adds local ergonomics on top after MCP is configured.

Plugin Scope

This plugin is the Claude Code layer on top of Snipara. It does not replace the MCP server and it does not replace your auth setup.

Use Hosted MCP for the primary agent connection. Use local package flows only for stdio compatibility, development, or testing.

MCP Server Required

The plugin adds commands and skills on top of the Snipara MCP server. You need the MCP server configured for the plugin to work. Local snipara-mcp-login is only for stdio compatibility, development, or advanced testing.

What the Plugin Adds

14 Slash Commands

Invoke workflows, search, memory, and execution directly from Claude Code.

/snipara:lite-mode/snipara:full-mode/snipara:remember/snipara:recall+10 more

5 Auto-Invoked Skills

Claude automatically queries docs, recalls context, and plans tasks.

✓ query-docs
✓ recall-context
✓ plan-task
✓ execute-code
✓ chunk-implement

Automation Hooks

Automatic context recall at session start and memory save on edits.

✓ SessionStart auto-recall
✓ PostToolUse auto-remember
✓ Commit memory on push

Installation

Step 1: Configure MCP Server

Set up the Snipara MCP server first. See the Claude Code Integration guide.

Step 2: Install the Plugin

Option A: From Marketplace (recommended)

/plugin marketplace add Snipara/snipara-claude

/plugin install snipara@snipara-plugins

Option B: Clone and load locally

git clone https://github.com/Snipara/snipara-claude.git

claude --plugin-dir ./snipara-claude

Auto-Invoked Skills

Skills are automatically triggered by Claude when they match the user's intent. No manual invocation needed.

query-docs

Triggers when: You ask about documentation, APIs, or architecture

Calls snipara_context_query with semantic search

recall-context

Triggers when: You reference previous decisions or resume work

Calls snipara_recall to find relevant memories

plan-task

Triggers when: You request a complex multi-file implementation

Calls snipara_plan and snipara_decompose

execute-code

Triggers when: You ask to run tests or validate code safely

Runs code via Snipara Sandbox with Docker

chunk-implement

Triggers when: Complex feature spanning 5+ files

Queries context per chunk, executes, remembers

Snipara Sandbox Integration

The plugin optionally integrates with Snipara Sandbox for safe code execution in Docker containers.

✓

Isolated Execution

Run code in Docker containers without host access

✓

Trajectory Logging

Full execution trace for debugging and review

✓

Multi-Provider

Works with OpenAI, Anthropic, and LiteLLM

✓

Visualization

Interactive Streamlit dashboard for analysis

Setup Snipara Sandbox

pip install snipara-sandbox[all]

snipara-sandbox init

snipara-sandbox run --env docker "print('Hello from Snipara')"

Optional Component

Snipara Sandbox requires Docker and a separate LLM API key (Anthropic or OpenAI). The plugin's Snipara features (commands, memory, search) work without Snipara Sandbox.

Workflow Examples

LITE Mode: Quick Bug Fix

/snipara:lite-mode authentication timeout bug

[snipara_context_query: "authentication timeout"]

Found: src/auth/middleware.ts - timeout at 5000ms

Fix applied. Tests passing.

FULL Mode: Complex Feature

/snipara:full-mode implement OAuth integration

Phase 1: Loading team standards...

Phase 2: Generating plan (6 chunks)...

Phase 3: Implementing chunk 1/6

Phase 4: Running tests...

All 6 chunks implemented. 47 tests passing.

Memory-Driven Development

Session 1: Working on registration

/snipara:remember "Completed registration API"

Memory saved.

Session 2 (next day):

[Auto-recall] Last: registration API, next: email
