Publish to the market

The Lyra Plugin Market is Lyra’s default source. Every entry is built by the platform from a GitHub repository: it fetches the code, counts the skills and servers inside, packages it and records a SHA-256. Lyra checks that hash when someone installs it.

Prepare the repository

• A public GitHub repository.
• One folder per entry, at the repository root or in a subfolder. The platform decides what it is from what’s inside:

The folder has	Treated as
skills/<name>/SKILL.md plus a manifest	Plugin
Only a .mcp.json	MCP server
A single level of <name>/SKILL.md	Skill collection — must be declared explicitly

• Name, description, icon and version come from the manifest. See Write skills and plugins and Connect an MCP server.
• Before submitting, drop it into your own ~/.lyra/plugins/ and make sure it loads.

Submit it

Entries are currently added through the official plugin repository:

1. Fork kittors/Lyra-Plugins.
2. Add an entry to sources in sources.json, following the existing ones: upstream repository, category and a one-line description. The fields are documented in that repository’s README.
3. Open a pull request. Once a maintainer approves it, it goes live in the market.

Reviews look at four things: the upstream is public, works and is still maintained; the description says what it does, not how great it is; it doesn’t duplicate an existing entry; and its id isn’t taken.

Note

The market site also supports self-service submissions after signing in with GitHub: enter the repository, it builds on the spot, and it’s listed after review. Sign-in isn’t open on the live site yet; once it is, the site is the way to go.

After it’s listed

• The platform rebuilds from your repository periodically. When you ship a new version, people who installed it see the update.
• The market doesn’t review code, and the detail page tells users to look at the repository first. A clear README and description go a long way toward earning an install.

Host your own source

To share outside the public market, host an index yourself and have people add its address as a source (market ⋯ → Sources… Next release). The index is a JSON file served over https://:

{
  "name": "My plugins",
  "plugins": [
    {
      "name": "my-plugin",
      "repository": "https://github.com/me/my-plugins",
      "path": "plugins/my-plugin",
      "category": "Development"
    }
  ]
}

Only name and repository are required. When a repository holds several bundles, point path at the subfolder. Lyra clones the repository on install.
