title: Claude plugin | Adaption
description: Connect Claude Desktop to Adaption with MCP tools and skills for dataset and model-training workflows.
---

The Adaption plugin for Claude Desktop connects the [Adaption MCP server](/tools/mcp/index.md) and adds workflow skills for datasets, synthetic data generation, and AutoScientist.

The plugin supports Claude Desktop on macOS and Windows.

## Install the plugin

1. Download `adaption.mcpb` from the [Adaption Claude plugin releases](https://github.com/adaptionlabs/adaption-claude-plugin/releases).
2. Open the downloaded file to install it in Claude Desktop.
3. When prompted, enter your [Adaption API key](/introduction/create-api-keys/index.md).

## Verify the connection

Restart Claude Desktop if prompted, then ask:

> List my Adaption datasets.

Claude should use `list_datasets` from the Adaption MCP server.

## What the plugin adds

The plugin configures the hosted MCP connection and includes three skills:

- `adaption-dataset` — Guides dataset import, adaptation, augmentation, translation, localization, combination, and export workflows.
- `adaption-invent` — Guides synthetic dataset generation from natural-language requirements.
- `adaption-training` — Guides AutoScientist model selection, hyperparameter recommendations, training, and monitoring.

Skills give Claude workflow guidance for chaining tools and handling asynchronous operations. See [MCP](/tools/mcp/index.md) for the shared server configuration and complete tool catalog.
