The Himalayas plugin adds Himalayas to your AI client in one install: the Himalayas MCP server, plus skills that know how to run a remote job search or a remote hire, and commands in Claude Code. Its source is at github.com/Himalayas-App/himalayas-plugin.

How do I install the Himalayas plugin?
Claude Code: run
/plugin marketplace add Himalayas-App/himalayas-plugin
/plugin install himalayas@himalayasGemini CLI: run
gemini extensions install https://github.com/Himalayas-App/himalayas-pluginCodex, Cursor and Grok: the repository includes a plugin manifest for each. Load the repository as a plugin in your client.
In Claude Code, run /himalayas:start. In any client you can also just ask for something like "find remote product design jobs I can do from Canada". Job, company and salary search work straight away. The first time a task needs your profile, tracker or company, you sign in to Himalayas once and approve access.
What commands does the plugin add?
In Claude Code, the plugin adds these commands:
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
/himalayas:start | Connects your account, checks your plan and profile, suggests next steps |
/himalayas:find-jobs | Searches remote jobs and shortlists the best fits |
/himalayas:matches | New jobs for your profile since the last check |
/himalayas:apply | Prepares an application: fit check, documents, answers and apply link |
/himalayas:interview | Likely questions, a practice link and a practice round in chat |
/himalayas:tracker | Reviews your tracker and inbox and suggests follow-ups |
/himalayas:profile | Reviews your profile and suggests what to add or fix |
/himalayas:salary | Benchmarks remote pay by role, seniority and country |
/himalayas:post-job | Drafts and posts a remote job for your company |
/himalayas:find-talent | Searches candidates and shortlists the best fits |
What skills does the plugin include?
himalayas-basics holds the shared rules: read first, confirm before changes, verify after. The task skills are find-remote-jobs, apply-to-jobs, track-applications, build-candidate-profile, research-companies-and-salaries, post-remote-jobs, source-remote-talent and manage-company-profile.
The agent asks before anything that changes or removes data, sends a message or costs money. Messages to companies or candidates are shown to you word for word before they are sent.
What does the plugin cost?
The plugin is free, and every command works on a free Himalayas account. Himalayas Plus ($9/month) adds tailored resumes and cover letters for every job, new matches between sessions, spoken interview practice and more. Employers post jobs for free, with optional paid extras. When a task needs a paid feature, Himalayas says so, and you pay on Stripe yourself.
What data does the plugin send?
The plugin runs no code, stores nothing and contacts no service other than the Himalayas MCP server. It sends requests only when a task needs them: searches, reads of your profile, tracker, documents, inbox or company, and, after you confirm, changes to them. The privacy policy covers how Himalayas handles your data.
