Installing Singlepane for Claude

Singlepane for Claude is a plugin that bundles the Singlepane connector with two skills: Excel modeling with the Singlepane Excel add-in, and PowerPoint and Word documents with the Singlepane Docs add-in.

There are two ways to install it:

• For yourself — add the Singlepane marketplace to your own Claude account. Works on Pro and Max plans, and for members of Team and Enterprise plans whose admin allows user-added plugins.
• For your whole organization — a Team or Enterprise admin uploads the plugin once and every member gets it. No GitHub account needed.

Install for yourself

1. In Claude, click Customize in the left-hand navigation, then click Plugins in the settings window.

   

2. Click the Add button and select Add Marketplace.
3. Select the Add from a repository option.
4. In the GitHub repository URL box, paste: https://github.com/singlepane-hospitality/sp-claude-plugins
5. Click Sync.
6. You will then see the Singlepane plugin available — click it.
7. Click the Install button in the top right corner.

If you don’t see the Add button on a Team or Enterprise plan, your admin has turned off user-added plugins. Ask them to follow the organization steps below instead.

Using Claude Code in the terminal? Run these two commands instead:

/plugin marketplace add singlepane-hospitality/sp-claude-plugins
/plugin install singlepane@singlepane

Install for your organization (Team and Enterprise admins)

Claude no longer lets organizations add a public GitHub repository as an organization-wide marketplace, so admins deploy Singlepane for Claude from a zip file instead. You need the Owner role in your Claude organization. Nobody needs a GitHub account.

1. Download the plugin: singlepane.zip. This link always points at the newest build.

2. In Claude, open Organization settings and click Plugins & skills.

3. Click Add, then Upload a plugin, and choose the zip you downloaded. The Singlepane plugin appears in the Inventory tab.

4. Open the menu at the end of the Singlepane row, click Default access, and choose how members get it:

   Setting	What members see
   Installed by default	Everyone has it; members can turn it off. Recommended.
   Required	Everyone has it and can’t turn it off.
   Available to install	Listed under Discover; members install it if they want it.

   On Enterprise plans you can instead use Group access… to roll it out to specific groups first.

5. That’s it. The Singlepane connector is bundled in the plugin, so it arrives with the upload and shows on the plugin’s Connectors tab. Each member connects it once with their own Singlepane login (see below). If you prefer to manage it centrally, or members report they can’t see it, you can also add it under Organization settings → Connectors with the URL https://ai.singlepaneapp.com/mcp.

Members now have the plugin in Claude chat and in Cowork. It also reaches Claude Code for members who sign in there with their Claude account.

Updating: uploaded plugins don’t update themselves. When Singlepane releases a new version, download singlepane.zip again, open the Singlepane plugin in the Inventory tab, and choose Upload new version from its menu. Version history and rollback are available on the same page.

Developers using Claude Code in the terminal

If some of your team use Claude Code without signing in to your Claude organization, you can also push the plugin to their machines through managed settings. Paste the following under Organization settings → Claude Code → Managed settings (or deliver it via MDM). It points at a hosted catalog whose plugin download is a checksum-pinned zip, so no git credentials are needed and updates install automatically.

{
  "extraKnownMarketplaces": {
    "singlepane": {
      "source": {
        "source": "url",
        "url": "https://github.com/singlepane-hospitality/sp-claude-plugins/releases/download/latest/marketplace.json"
      },
      "autoUpdate": true
    }
  },
  "enabledPlugins": {
    "singlepane@singlepane": true
  }
}

If your organization restricts marketplaces with a strictKnownMarketplaces allowlist, add the same url entry to that list as well.

Connect to Singlepane and start using the skills

Once the plugin is installed you have the /singlepane-excel-modeling and /singlepane-docs skills. Invoke one by saying, for example, “Use the /singlepane-excel-modeling skill to build a model/report that has……”

The Singlepane connector comes with the plugin. To connect it, open the plugin’s Connectors tab, or go back to settings and click Connectors on the left, select Singlepane, and sign in with your Singlepane username and password when prompted.

You can now ask Claude questions which it can answer using data from Singlepane.
