Honeydew AI Plugins for Coding Agents
August 14, 2026 · View on GitHub
Skills and tools powered by the Honeydew MCP that help coding agents build semantic models and analyze data through natural conversation.
Example Use Cases
Query your data — Ask "Show me revenue by region for last quarter." Your coding agent discovers the right entities and metrics, runs the query through the semantic layer, and returns the results.
Build a semantic model — Ask "I added a new orders table — create an entity with revenue and order count metrics." Your coding agent imports the table, defines attributes and metrics following your naming conventions, and validates the result.
Investigate anomalies — Ask "Why did churn spike last month?" Your coding agent runs a multi-step deep analysis, explores correlations across your model, and surfaces the key drivers with supporting data.
Prerequisites
- A coding agent that supports plugins/skills (e.g., Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot CLI, Gemini CLI, or any agent with MCP support)
- A Honeydew AI workspace with the Honeydew MCP server configured
Installation
Claude Code
Add this marketplace to Claude Code:
/plugin marketplace add honeydew-ai/honeydew-ai-coding-agents-plugins
Then install the plugin:
/plugin install honeydew-ai@honeydew-ai-claude-plugins
Then reload plugins to activate:
/reload-plugins
Codex
Add this marketplace to Codex:
codex plugin marketplace add honeydew-ai/honeydew-ai-coding-agents-plugins
Then open the plugin directory and install the plugin:
codex
/plugins
If the marketplace was already added before this repo exposed the Codex wrapper path, refresh it first:
codex plugin marketplace upgrade honeydew-ai-coding-agents-plugins
GitHub Copilot CLI
Add this marketplace to Copilot CLI:
/plugin marketplace add honeydew-ai/honeydew-ai-coding-agents-plugins
Then install the plugin:
/plugin install honeydew-ai@honeydew-ai-github-copilot-plugins
Cursor
- In your team or organization settings, go to cursor.com/dashboard/plugins (or click Plugins on the left side menu).
- Scroll down to Team Marketplaces and click Add Marketplace (or select an existing one).
- Within the Marketplace, click Add Plugin, paste
https://github.com/honeydew-ai/honeydew-ai-coding-agents-plugins, and click Add 1 plugin. - Optionally, enable auto-refresh to get updates automatically.
- Go back to the plugins page, search for the Honeydew plugin, and click Add.
Gemini CLI
Install the Honeydew extension (skills + Honeydew MCP server):
gemini extensions install https://github.com/honeydew-ai/honeydew-ai-coding-agents-plugins
Other Coding Agents
For coding agents that support MCP, configure the Honeydew MCP server and use the skill files in this repository as prompts or instructions. The skills are written as agent-agnostic markdown documentation that any coding agent can consume.
Updating an Installed Plugin
Installing pins the version you installed. Most agents keep a cached copy of the marketplace, so an update is two steps: refresh the marketplace, then update the plugin itself.
Claude Code
In a session, open the plugin manager and choose the update action:
/plugin
Then apply it:
/reload-plugins
Or from the shell — refresh the marketplace first, or the update will not see a new version:
claude plugin marketplace update honeydew-ai-claude-plugins
claude plugin update honeydew-ai
Restart Claude Code to apply. claude plugin list shows the installed version.
Codex
Codex has no plugin-level upgrade command. Refresh the marketplace snapshot, then re-add the plugin to pick up the new version:
codex plugin marketplace upgrade honeydew-ai-coding-agents-plugins
codex plugin add honeydew-ai@honeydew-ai-coding-agents-plugins
The /plugins menu inside a codex session does the same thing interactively.
GitHub Copilot CLI
Refresh the marketplace catalog, then reinstall:
copilot plugin marketplace update honeydew-ai-github-copilot-plugins
/plugin install honeydew-ai@honeydew-ai-github-copilot-plugins
Cursor
If you enabled auto-refresh on the marketplace at install time, updates arrive on their own. Otherwise, go back to cursor.com/dashboard/plugins, open the Team Marketplace holding the plugin, and refresh it — the plugin picks up the new version from there.
Gemini CLI
gemini extensions update honeydew-ai-tools
gemini extensions update --all updates every installed extension, and gemini extensions list shows the installed version. Installing with gemini extensions install --auto-update keeps it current without this step.
Other Coding Agents
Pull the latest skill files from your clone of this repository. Nothing is cached elsewhere — the skills are read from disk.
Available Skills
The honeydew-ai plugin includes 13 skills:
| Skill | Description |
|---|---|
| model-exploration | Explore the semantic model — list entities, search fields, inspect relationships, and discover warehouse tables |
| workspace-branch | Manage workspaces and branches — set session context, create/delete branches, review branch history, and open pull requests |
| entity-creation | Create entities — the foundational business concepts built from data warehouse tables |
| relation-creation | Define relationships between entities with join types, cardinality, and complex join conditions |
| attribute-creation | Create calculated attributes (dimensions) — per-row virtual columns defined with SQL expressions |
| metric-creation | Create metrics (KPIs) — reusable aggregations like totals, averages, ratios, and growth rates |
| context-item-creation | Create context items — instructions, skills, knowledge pointers, and memory events that give the AI analyst persistent knowledge about your organization |
| domain-creation | Create domains — curated subsets of the semantic model exposed to specific teams or use cases |
| validation | Mandatory post-creation validation — type-specific sanity checks, cross-validation, and error handling |
| query | Query data using structured YAML perspectives, natural language questions, or multi-step deep analysis |
| query-debugging | Review and inspect past query executions — what ran, from which client (BI tools, SQL interface, MCP, deep analysis), the semantic YAML and compiled SQL behind a run, and debugging failures |
| filtering | Advanced filtering syntax — comparisons, string matching, date handling, nulls, and full-text search |
| conversation-review | Bulk review past analysis conversations — categorize user feedback, build action items, and apply semantic/context layer improvements on a branch |
Supported Data Warehouses
- Snowflake
- Databricks
- BigQuery
Building a Release
Claude-specific zip (claude.ai private marketplace)
The honeydew-ai-claude-<version>.zip artifact is used to install this plugin via the claude.ai web interface as a private marketplace plugin. It packages the plugin in the layout claude.ai expects: .claude-plugin/plugin.json at the zip root, alongside .mcp.json, hooks/, assets/, and all skill markdown files.
To install on claude.ai:
- Download the zip — permanent link to the latest version:
https://github.com/honeydew-ai/honeydew-ai-coding-agents-plugins/releases/latest/download/honeydew-ai-claude.zip - In claude.ai, go to Settings → Plugins → Add plugin → Upload zip
- Upload the zip — the plugin will appear in your private marketplace
Release zips are built automatically by CI and attached to each GitHub Release. To build one locally (e.g. for testing):
./scripts/build-release-claude.sh
This generates dist/honeydew-ai-claude-<version>.zip from the repo root.
