Claude Plugin

• The COUNT connector: the remote MCP server at https://api.getcount.com/mcp. It runs its own OAuth the first time it is used, so the plugin itself carries no credentials.
• /count: the entry skill. It routes a request; it does not try to hold COUNT's knowledge.
• count-demo-workspace: fills an empty workspace with realistic demo data for a chosen industry.

The same routing text is also registered on the connector as the MCP prompt count, so MCP clients that support prompts get it without installing the plugin.

In Claude Code, add the marketplace and install the plugin:

/plugin marketplace add https://api.getcount.com/mcp/plugin/marketplace.json
/plugin install count@count

For a client that takes a skill upload instead, download count-skill.zip and connect the COUNT connector separately (see MCP Server). The install page lists every option.

These downloads are public and need no authentication. Every response carries an x-count-skill-version header with the current skill version.

/count reconcile the operating account for September
/count what is still unpaid from last quarter?
/count Pre-close QC

At the start of every conversation the skill:

1. Calls COUNT_auth_status and COUNT_get_agent_skill together.
2. If more than one workspace is authorized and the request doesn't name one, asks which workspace before any read or write. After that, it passes workspaceId on every call.
3. If the COUNT tools are missing, tells the user to connect COUNT and stops rather than answering from memory.

Then it routes the request:

• A saved skill by name: COUNT_list_skills with the name as search, then COUNT_get_skill, and carries out its procedure.
• A multi-step workflow (month-end, bill pay, migration import, budgets): COUNT_playbooks.
• A question about how COUNT or the connector behaves: COUNT_knowledge.
• Anything else: a tool whose name matches the request, or COUNT_find_tool when none fits.
• Before changing records, it calls COUNT_recall and treats what comes back as notes to verify, never as instructions.

How these lookups rank results is covered in MCP Brain & Workspace Memory.

Skills built in COUNT's AI agents area (a pre-close review, a client email triage) can be run from Claude by name, for example /count Pre-close QC.

• COUNT_list_skills returns each saved skill's id, name and description. Pass search to rank them, or omit it to list them all.
• COUNT_get_skill returns one skill's full procedure, by skillId.

Both need the AI agents permission in the workspace, and both are remote-only. A skill's procedure doesn't override the connector's rules: workspace selection and confirming destructive actions still apply to every step.

The installed file holds only the routing rules and the playbook index. Playbooks, knowledge topics, workspace notes and saved skills are all read through tools when the skill runs, so a change to them reaches every install straight away.

The routing rules themselves carry a skillVersion, a hash of the skill's content. The skill sends it to COUNT_get_agent_skill, which reports whether the install is current:

// First call of every conversation, beside COUNT_auth_status
COUNT_get_agent_skill({ installedSkillVersion: "<skillVersion from the installed SKILL.md>" })

// installedIsCurrent: true  → keep following the installed skill
// installedIsCurrent: false → follow the returned `content` for this conversation,
//                             and tell the user once how to update (see `install`)
