Claude Code Plugin Quick Start

Install the DataGen plugin for Claude Code and run your first skill in under 2 minutes

The DataGen plugin connects Claude Code to DataGen AI Cloud. It is one way to work with DataGen: from your terminal you can build and deploy agents, connect services, and call DataGen tools. To work in the browser instead, start with the AI Cloud quick start.

Prerequisites

• Claude Code v1.0.33+
• A DataGen account

Install the Plugin

Terminal

claude plugin marketplace add datagendev/datagen-plugin
claude plugin install datagen --scope project

Claude Code

/plugin marketplace add datagendev/datagen-plugin
/plugin install datagen --scope project

Type /plugin in the Claude Code prompt to access plugin commands.

Run Setup

Inside Claude Code, run:

/datagen:setup

This triggers the following actions:

1. Authenticate

   A browser window opens for OAuth authentication with DataGen.

2. Store API Key

   Your API key is saved to your shell profile (~/.zshrc or equivalent).

3. Configure MCP Server

   The plugin connects to https://mcp.datagen.dev/mcp automatically.

4. Install CLI & SDK

   The DataGen CLI is installed. Optionally install the Python or TypeScript SDK.

After setup, all 50+ MCP tools are available in your Claude Code session. Try asking Claude: “List all available DataGen tools”.
