- Pick one, check its apps, then Install plugin → Connect.
- In a chat, type @ and its name — or just ask; ChatGPT uses installed plugins when they fit.
- Disconnect: Settings → Plugins.
Plugins, apps, skills, connectors, extensions, MCP: what each one is, how to switch them on in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Copilot, how to stay safe — the most popular Claude and ChatGPT plugins, and the highest-rated add-ons in the public stores with their real star ratings.
Checked Oct 2, 2026
A plugin adds abilities to an AI assistant: a link to another app (Gmail, Canva), saved instructions for a task, or both. Install them from your assistant’s own directory, prefer official or verified ones, keep approvals on, and treat browser extensions that can read every site with care.
A live link to one service, so the AI can read from it or act in it.
Saved instructions for one kind of task, used automatically when your request matches.
A box that bundles skills and apps (and sometimes panels) into one install.
The open standard almost all of these use to plug into an AI — like USB-C.
Claude and ChatGPT have their own plugin directories, with no star ratings — so we use what each directory itself shows: Anthropic’s exact install counts for Claude plugins, Anthropic’s popularity order for Claude connectors, and the order of ChatGPT’s own “Popular” list. Read on Oct 3, 2026.
Connectors link Claude to an app. These are the 20 most popular in Anthropic’s directory; “Interactive” ones show live panels inside the chat. Turn one on in Customize → Connectors.
Plugins bundle skills, connectors and commands. Most of the top 20 by installs are for Claude Code, Anthropic’s coding tool; install with /plugin in Claude Code, or from Customize → Plugins.
The first 24 in ChatGPT’s own “Popular” list. OpenAI publishes no install counts or ratings, and some plugins, like Zillow, appear only in the US. Install from Plugins in the ChatGPT sidebar.

Real star ratings from the public stores, read on Oct 2, 2026. We took the 30 best Chrome extensions, 8 WordPress plugins and 2 VS Code extensions. Only add-ons with enough reviews to mean something qualify (at least 500 ratings, or 100 on WordPress), ranked by a weighted average so a handful of 5-star reviews can’t beat 100,000 good ones.

The AI companies’ own Chrome extensions rate far lower than these: Claude in Chrome has 2.8★ from about 1,700 ratings (16 million users) and OpenAI’s ChatGPT extension 2.8★ from about 800 (6 million users). Low ratings often reflect plan limits and sign-in problems rather than safety — and the official ones don’t pass your text through a third company.
Ratings, review counts and user numbers are the stores’ own figures and change daily. A high rating isn’t a security check — see are AI extensions safe? Links go to the store; we earn nothing from them.

OpenAI is retiring custom GPTs on Dec 11, 2026 and turning them into plugins. What transfers, what doesn’t (actions, sharing), and what to do now.
MCP is the plug that lets ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Copilot use your apps. What it is, how it differs from connectors, real incidents, and a safety checklist.
Sider and Monica are top-rated AI Chrome extensions. Who owns them, what their store pages say they collect, a 2026 security report and safer options.
An add-on that lets an AI assistant do more: link to another app such as Gmail or Canva, follow saved instructions for a task, or both. In 2026 ChatGPT, Claude and Microsoft Copilot all call these bundles “plugins”. Browser extensions that add AI to your web pages are often called plugins too.
A skill is a saved set of instructions for one kind of task. A plugin is a package that can hold several skills plus connected apps. Full decoder.
Official ones from your assistant’s own directory, from well-known companies, are low-risk if you keep approvals on. The real risks are unknown publishers, browser extensions with access to every site, and hidden instructions in content the AI reads. Six rules.
For most people: Gmail, Google Drive and Google Calendar for your own information, Canva for designs, Wolfram for math, and Quizlet for study. Install them from Plugins in the ChatGPT sidebar.
Yes. OpenAI retires custom GPTs on December 11, 2026 and migrates them to plugins. What transfers and what doesn’t.
They are the public ratings on each store (Chrome Web Store, VS Code Marketplace, WordPress.org and the GPT Store), read on the date shown. To stop a 5.0 from a dozen reviews beating a 4.8 from 100,000, we rank by a weighted average that pulls small samples toward the store’s typical score.
