At Medusa we aim to empower builders creating applications with AI agents, whether through external tools like Claude Code or our own AI tooling, [Bloom](https://bloom.medusajs.com/). Medusa provides powerful ecommerce features with an AI-friendly commerce framework that’s flexible enough to build unique use cases with a single prompt.

[Claude Code](https://claude.com/product/claude-code) is an AI agent that’s widely used to build sophisticated applications. We’re announcing two [Claude Code plugins](https://github.com/medusajs/medusa-claude-plugins) that facilitate building ecommerce applications with Claude Code and Medusa.

With these Claude Code plugins, you can build end-to-end commerce features like product reviews, abandoned cart notifications, and agentic commerce features. Keep reading to learn how to install and use these plugins.

## Build Ecommerce Applications with Claude Code and Medusa

The `medusa-dev` Claude Code plugin provides Medusa knowledge and tools that facilitate building ecommerce applications. By using this plugin, you can build end-to-end features across the backend, admin dashboard, and storefront, using AI-assisted ecommerce development.

### Install Plugin

To install the `medusa-dev` Claude Code plugin, run the following commands:

```text
claude # start claude code
/plugin marketplace add medusajs/medusa-claude-plugins
/plugin install medusa-dev@medusa
```

Then, you can ask Claude Code to build end-to-end features in your Medusa ecommerce application. Claude Code will use the skills in the plugin to provide you with accurate and relevant Medusa code, helping you ship custom ecommerce functionality faster.

### Example Prompt

For example, to build a product reviews feature in your ecommerce application:

```
Implement a product reviews feature. Authenticated customers can add reviews. Admin users can view and approve or reject reviews from the dashboard
```

### Integrated MCP Server

Medusa provides an [MCP server](https://docs.medusajs.com/learn/introduction/build-with-llms-ai#mcp-remote-server) that allows AI agents to retrieve information from the documentation related to custom use cases.

The `medusa-dev` plugin comes configured with the MCP server. While the plugin holds essential skills that Claude Code uses to build your custom ecommerce applications, Claude Code can also ask the MCP server how to implement complex use cases specific to your needs.

## Interactive Medusa Learning with Claude Code

The `learn-medusa` Claude Code plugin provides an interactive learning experience for beginners to Medusa who want to understand its architecture, concepts, and how to build customizations.

With this plugin, Claude Code will lead you through a step-by-step tutorial session to build a brands feature in Medusa.

### Install Plugin

To install the `learn-medusa` Claude Code plugin, run the following commands:

```
claude # start claude code
/plugin marketplace add medusajs/medusa-claude-plugins
/plugin install learn-medusa@medusa
```

### Start Interactive Learning Session

After installing the plugin, send the following prompt to Claude Code to begin the interactive learning session:

```
I want to learn Medusa.
```

Claude will then walk you through building a brands feature step-by-step where you'll learn about Medusa's concepts and architecture along the way. You will:

1. Create a Brand Module with API routes to manage brands.
2. Link brands to products to associate products with brands.
3. Customize the Medusa Admin dashboard to allow admin users to manage brands.

By the end, you'll have a solid understanding of Medusa's architecture and how to build custom features.
