Learn how to connect Turnstile to Claude Cowork and other AI assistants using the MCP

This article covers how to connect Turnstile's MCP using the Turnstile plugin and using a custom connector in Claude Cowork and Claude Code. For other AI tools that support MCP, see Using Turnstile MCP with other AI tools below.

​

On Team and Enterprise plans, an Owner or Primary Owner may need to add the connector before you can connect.

Install the Turnstile plugin in Claude Code

In Claude Code, run the following commands in order:

  1. /plugin marketplace add turnstileco/turnstile-plugin

  2. /plugin install turnstile@turnstile

Once installed, the Turnstile plugin gives you access to your Turnstile data and skills directly in Claude Code.

Install the Turnstile plugin in Claude.ai, Desktop, and Cowork

  1. Open Customize > Plugins.

    • In Cowork, open the Cowork tab first, then open Customize > Plugins.

  2. Click +, then select Add marketplace.

  3. Choose Add from a repository and enter turnstileco/turnstile-plugin.

  4. Leave Sync automatically enabled to receive automatic updates.

  5. Click Sync.

  6. Once the marketplace is added, find the turnstile plugin in the list and click Install.

Getting new skills as they release

  • On claude.ai, Desktop, and Cowork, the plugin updates on its own after Turnstile publishes a new version. You get it in your next session.

  • In Claude Code, run /plugin update turnstile@turnstile to update manually, or turn on auto-update for the turnstile marketplace so it updates in the background.
