Add new tools from the Shop.

The Shop is where you give CrazyToad new capabilities — MCP servers, skills, and plugins. Browse curated and live entries, inspect the risk before you commit, install to the right scope, or ask Toad to build a tool that does not exist yet.

What it is for

Three kinds of extension

Reach for the Shop when CrazyToad is missing something it needs to do a job — access to an outside service, a procedure it should follow, or extra app behavior. Pick the kind that matches what you are adding.

MCP serversGive agents tool access to outside services and data
SkillsAdd procedural knowledge — how to do a specific kind of task well
PluginsExtend the app itself with new behavior
How to

Browse, probe, approve, install

Shop items carry a kind, source, risk level, network footprint, and install scope. Known tools can be installed directly after you inspect them. New tools can be described to Toad, built on demand, and registered through the same installer lane.

01
Filter by kind

Choose MCP servers, skills, or plugins depending on whether you need tool access, procedural knowledge, or app extension code.

02
Read the risk sheet

Network access, source, permissions, and install scope are visible before approval.

03
Install to the right scope

Workspace installs stay with one repo. Global installs are for tools you want everywhere.

04
Build with Toad

Describe the missing capability and let CrazyToad scaffold the extension path instead of leaving the app.
