Syncro Claude Plugins
Table of Contents
The Syncro Plugin repository in GitLab (https://gitlab.com/syncrosecure/syncro-plugins) is the central hub for AI tools designed to enhance your workflow across Claude Chat, Cowork, Code and other AIs. Every plugin in this repository functions by combining a secure data bridge (Model Context Protocol/MCP Server) for live access to your Syncro data with built-in knowledge and skills to guide Claude's behavior.
The repository currently includes two plugins:
- Syncro Service Desk: Transforms Claude into a specialized service desk assistant. It connects to your live Tickets, Invoices, Organizations, Assets, and Alerts, using Syncro conventions to ensure Claude executes common jobs and manages workflows consistently every single session.
- Syncro Business Owner: Transforms Claude into a quarterly business review assistant. It reads your Tickets, Invoices, and Assets for one Organization at a time and builds a client report and an internal prep sheet.
Install the Plugins
Prerequisites
Before installing the Syncro Claude Plugins:
- Connect the Syncro MCP server. The Syncro Service Desk and Syncro Business Owner plugins declare the connector so you are prompted to authorize it on install, but they ship no credentials: you authenticate against your own Syncro Tenant, and the skills use whatever access that grants.
- On Claude Code, verify the latest version is installed, use claude --version to verify the version. (Some earlier versions may reject the install command with a misleading "not found" error.)
- Use of the MCP/plugins is subject to the Syncro API license agreement.
Claude Chat & Cowork
Claude Chat & Cowork versions install from a package file rather than a marketplace. Follow these steps to install the Syncro Service Desk or the Syncro Business Owner plugin.
Steps
- From the left sidebar, select “Customize,” then select the “Plugins” tab.
- Click +Add then select “Add Marketplace.”
- In the URL field, paste https://gitlab.com/syncrosecure/syncro-plugins.git then select that URL.
- Click Sync.
- Locate the plugin you want in the new marketplace then click the + to add it. For example:
To install both plugins, repeat step 5 for the second plugin.
Claude Code
To install the Syncro Service Desk plugin, enter:
/plugin marketplace add https://gitlab.com/syncrosecure/syncro-plugins.git
/plugin install syncro-service-desk@syncro-plugins
The first command adds this repository as a marketplace; the second installs the package from it. syncro-service-desk@syncro names the package first and the marketplace second.
To install the Syncro Business Owner plugin from the same marketplace, enter:
/plugin install syncro-business-owner@syncro-plugins
Note: If you already added the marketplace, you do not need to add it again.
Pass the full URL including https://. The short owner/repo form is GitHub-only. To pin a specific release, append # and the tag: …syncro-plugins.git#1.0.0. (@1.0.0 is the GitHub-only form and will not work here.)
Installed this way, updates arrive on their own. See also: Check for Updates.
For Your Company
IT admins can deploy the package to every user at once with a managed settings file rather than having each person install it. This assumes some familiarity with Claude Code's managed settings mechanism; if that's new to you, your Claude Code admin or IT team can help set it up.
Here's the JSON:
{
"extraKnownMarketplaces": {
"syncro-plugins": {
"source": {
"source": "git",
"url": "https://gitlab.com/syncrosecure/syncro-plugins.git"
},
"autoUpdate": true
}
},
"enabledPlugins": {
"syncro-service-desk@syncro-plugins": true,
"syncro-business-owner@syncro-plugins": true
}
}
List only the plugins you want to deploy.
Note the source type is url. Anthropic's own example uses a github source, which will not resolve against this repository.
The file goes in the system location for the operating system:
| OS | Path |
|---|---|
| macOS | /Library/Application Support/ClaudeCode/managed-settings.json |
| Linux and WSL | /etc/claude-code/managed-settings.json |
| Windows | C:\Program Files\ClaudeCode\managed-settings.json |
Claude Code does NOT read C:\ProgramData\ClaudeCode\managed-settings.json. A policy placed there produces no error and simply does not apply, which looks like a failed deployment.
If you already maintain a managed settings file, do not edit it. Instead, drop a 20-syncro.json into managed-settings.d/ alongside it. Where two files define extraKnownMarketplaces, a later entry with the same name replaces the earlier one entirely.
After deploying, run /status on one machine and confirm the Setting sources line reads "Enterprise Managed Settings (File)" before rolling out to the fleet. MDM and Group Policy are alternatives to the file and take precedence over it where both are present. See Anthropic's managed-settings documentation.
To verify that the Syncro Service Desk plugin works, invoke /onsite-visits and name an Organization you know has open tickets. To verify that the Syncro Business Owner plugin works, ask Claude for a QBR for an Organization that has recent tickets. The skill asks how far back to look before it reads any data. Both checks only read data, so there is nothing to undo.
If the connector is not connected, the skills say so and stop rather than guessing. If they still don't respond as expected, see Troubleshoot MCP Connections.
About the Plugins
Capabilities & Permissions
The skills in the Syncro Service Desk and Syncro Business Owner plugins act with the access you already have. The connector signs you in as yourself, and your Syncro user permissions determine what it can do: the plugins do not grant new access; they let your AI assistant work with access you already hold.
Within that, the connector can create and update real records in your live Syncro account, including tickets, Organizations, contacts/End Users, assets, invoices and appointments, and it can send invoice email to your customer Organizations.
The skills are deliberately narrower than that: onsite-visits and doc-search have no write path at all. call-to-ticket and ticket-researcher can both write, but narrowly. call-to-ticket shows you the complete ticket and note, then waits for an explicit Yes before creating anything. ticket-researcher only writes when you explicitly ask it to, saving its findings as an AI-labeled private note that is never visible to the end user.
The Syncro Business Owner plugin uses Syncro read tools only. It never posts comments, edits tickets, or creates or emails invoices. It reads a fixed list of device fields from asset records and reads only the name and ID from Organization records. Text in ticket subjects, comments, and notes is treated as data, so instructions written there are not acted on.
Edit the Plugins for Your Company
Skills are plain SKILL.md files. Nothing stops you from writing your own to sit alongside the Syncro Service Desk or Syncro Business Owner plugin for workflows specific to your organization, using the same Syncro MCP connector. For the full picture of what that connector can do, see Syncro MCP Prompt Library and Syncro MCP Tools Reference.
This is different from editing the Syncro Service Desk or Syncro Business Owner plugin directly: these skills are versioned and rebuilt from Syncro's repository, so local edits get overwritten on the next update, and won't match what Support expects when you report an issue against a specific plugin version.
You may also use the “Edit with Claude” option from the plugin's vertical ellipsis menu:

Check for Updates
We publish each new version to the marketplace as soon as it is ready. Getting that version onto your machine is handled by the app you run it in, not by Syncro. Whether it updates on its own, and how often it checks, are settings in that app.
Claude Chat & Cowork
Follow this procedure to manually check for updates in Claude Desktop or in your browser.
- From the left sidebar, select “Customize,” then select the “Plugins” tab.
- Select the “Yours” tab.
- Locate the Syncro Service Desk or Syncro Business Owner plugin in the list.
- Click the vertical ellipsis, then select "Check for Updates." Alternatively, open the plugin, click on the ellipsis and select “Check for Updates:”


A “No changes since the last release” message appears if there are no changes.
Claude Code
To move an existing install to the current version immediately:
- From a shell, run the command for the plugin you installed:
claude plugin update syncro-service-desk@syncro-plugins
claude plugin update syncro-business-owner@syncro-plugins - Then run /reload-plugins or restart.
Note: This update refreshes the catalog only; it does not change the installed version.
If an update does not seem to have worked, check for a second copy first. A package can be installed from more than one place at once (an organization plugin store and your personal store), and if both hold this package the older copy can win, with nothing warning you. A stale copy does not error; it answers confidently from older instructions.
List your installed plugins with /plugin and remove any personal-store copy before assuming the update failed.
Access Available Skills
When first invoking a skill, authorize the Syncro connector by signing in with your Syncro credentials. Access is restricted to your organization and user permissions. See Connect the Syncro MCP Server.
Tips: Type / to view and select a skill, or enter your request in plain language.
On Claude Code the commands are prefixed with the plugin name, e.g. /syncro-service-desk:call-to-ticket. Typing / and a few letters finds either form; a user who sees the prefixed form should not think the install is wrong.
| Name | Plugin | Command | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
|
Syncro Service Desk | /call-to-ticket |
Parses call details to match customer Organization, contact/End User, and asset data, assigns priority, and drafts a private note. Requires user confirmation before writing to Syncro.
Note: This is the only skill in the Syncro Service Desk plugin that writes to Syncro. |
/call-to-ticket I just got off the phone with Dana Reyes at Northwind Auction, their docking station won't drive the monitor. |
| Documentation Center Search | Syncro Service Desk | /doc-search | Searches Syncro's Documentation Center to provide product configuration details and step-by-step navigation paths. | /doc-search Does Syncro support SSO for the End User Portal? |
| Prep for Onsite Visits | Syncro Service Desk | /onsite-visits | Queries unresolved work orders at a specified client location to identify additional physical tasks before traveling. | /onsite-visits I'm heading to Northwind Auction tomorrow, what else needs attention while I'm there? |
| Ticket Research Assistant | Syncro Service Desk | /ticket-researcher |
Analyzes asset specifications, historical ticket logs, and documentation to generate a ranked list of diagnostic steps.
Note: This skill is read-only by default. On request, it can save its findings to the ticket as an AI-labeled private note. |
/ticket-researcher Help me with ticket 4267. |
| Prepare a Quarterly Business Review | Syncro Business Owner | /qbr |
Builds a quarterly business review for one Organization from Syncro Tickets, Invoices, and Assets. Leads with fleet age, warranty runway, and operating system support, then covers what you handled during the period. Produces a client report you approve and a separate internal prep sheet. (See Use the QBR Skill.)
Note: This skill is read only. It never writes to Syncro. |
/qbr Northwind |
