   Add it in Claude

   In the Claude desktop app, go to Settings → Customize → Plugins → Add new plugin, then choose Upload plugin. If Customize is already in your sidebar, you can open it directly; the add button may be labeled Add or Add plugin.

   Select the ZIP you downloaded in step 1, click Upload, then review Claude’s local MCP warning and click Continue. Once the plugin is enabled, go to step 3: connect your account.

   

   Claude’s local helper permission

   Claude warns that local MCP servers can access your computer. This plugin runs its Games helper locally; review the included source before enabling it.

   Connect your Games account

   Installing adds the plugin to Claude. To connect your account, open a local Code session and send this message:

   Use the How to AI Games plugin to complete challenge setup-agent: connect my account.

   Copy message

   If Claude asks to allow the connection tool, choose Allow once. On the Games page that opens, check the matching code, sign in if needed, and choose Allow connection.

   If Claude already opened the approval page, finish there—you don’t need to send the message again. A previously approved connection may also survive reinstalling; disconnecting it in Arena requires a new approval.

   See your confirmation

   After browser approval, keep your Claude Code session open. The plugin checks in automatically and Games opens a separate Your plugin is now connected screen. Choose Next Challenge to continue.

   Still waiting for confirmation?

   Only if the completion screen hasn’t appeared, ask Claude “Check my Games connection.” and allow the status tool if prompted. Once connected, no further check is needed.
