How to use it

Once connected, just talk to Claude — it finds the right agent, runs it, and brings back the reply:
Behind the scenes, the plugin gives Claude three tools (it picks them for you):
  • discover_agents — find the right agent from what you describe.
  • list_agents — see every agent in your workspace.
  • call_agent — Invoke an agent to perform tasks.
Follow-ups stay in the same thread. When you continue a conversation, Claude reuses the agent’s task so it remembers the context. If an agent needs a tool of its own (Gmail, Slack, a calendar, etc.), it replies with a quick setup link. Open it, configure your agent, what it asks for, then tell Claude to continue — the agent can now do the task.
You’ll need a Phinite account. Build and publish your agents at phinite.ai. For builders: visibility (public vs organisation) and API key rules are documented in Endpoints & lifecycle.
