Install SearchCrew skills for Claude Code

Add nine SearchCrew Agent Skills to Claude Code from the SearchCrew marketplace.

Current package: The plugin installs nine SEO Agent Skills. It does not register the paused hosted MCP endpoint. Check launch status before trying the separate MCP setup.

The SearchCrew plugin installs all nine SEO workflow skills in one step.

Install

Run these two commands in Claude Code:

/plugin marketplace add jaimedhenriques/searchcrew
/plugin install searchcrew@searchcrew

If the install summary says Run /reload-plugins to activate., run that command.

After reload, Claude Code enables nine skills:

  • SEO Project Setup
  • SEO Coach
  • SEO Audit
  • Keyword Research
  • Keyword Clustering
  • Competitive Landscape
  • Competitor Analysis
  • Local SEO
  • Link Prospecting

Run a skill

Plugin skills are namespaced by the plugin name:

/searchcrew:seo-project-setup
/searchcrew:seo-coach
/searchcrew:seo-audit
/searchcrew:keyword-research
/searchcrew:keyword-clustering
/searchcrew:competitive-landscape
/searchcrew:competitor-analysis
/searchcrew:local-seo
/searchcrew:link-prospecting

Claude Desktop

Claude Desktop doesn't support this plugin format. When the hosted MCP endpoint is live, use the separate MCP setup.

Update or remove

/plugin marketplace update searchcrew
/plugin uninstall searchcrew@searchcrew

Updates land in the cache immediately, but the running session keeps the old version until you run /reload-plugins or restart Claude Code.

Troubleshooting

To check what's actually installed, run /plugin list rather than bare /plugin — /plugin alone opens an interactive panel that doesn't show plain text.

If /reload-plugins reports 0 skills, that's normal, not a failure — its summary only counts a plugin's commands/ directory, not skills/. Confirm the skills loaded by running one directly, for example /searchcrew:seo-audit.

If /plugin uninstall searchcrew@searchcrew reports "not installed in this project," you likely installed to a different scope than the one being checked (User, Project, or Local). Run /plugin list to see the actual scope, or sidestep the picker entirely with the shell form: claude plugin uninstall searchcrew@searchcrew --scope user.

If plugin skills don't appear, clear the plugin cache with rm -rf ~/.claude/plugins/cache — this clears every installed plugin's cache, not just SearchCrew's, so reinstall anything else you have after — then restart Claude Code and reinstall the plugin.
