Anakin Claude Code Plugin

Convert websites into clean data at scale: scrape, batch-scrape, search, and deep research.

Requirements

This plugin requires anakin-cli (Python 3.10+):

pip install anakin-cli
anakin login --api-key "ak-your-key-here"

Get your API key from anakin.io/dashboard.

Installation

From marketplace

First, add the Anakin marketplace to Claude Code:

/plugin marketplace add Anakin-Inc/anakin-claude-plugin

Then install the plugin:

/plugin install anakin@anakin

From local directory (development)

claude --plugin-dir ./anakin-claude-plugin

Validate locally

claude plugin validate .

Once installed, Claude will automatically use Anakin for web scraping, search, and research tasks.

Development note: After modifying plugin files, restart Claude Code to pick up changes.
