+## MCP servers and extensions
 
 Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers extend Claude's capabilities by providing access to external
 tools, APIs, and data sources. They enable Claude to interact with your development environment,
 databases, and other services while maintaining security boundaries.
 
+### Bitwarden AI plugin marketplace
+
+Bitwarden maintains a curated [marketplace of AI plugins](https://github.com/bitwarden/ai-plugins)
+specifically designed for our development workflows. This marketplace was created to provide
+quality-controlled, security-reviewed plugins that follow Bitwarden's coding standards and security
+requirements. All marketplace plugins are maintained by the Bitwarden team and include comprehensive
+documentation, testing, and security validation.
+
+To use the marketplace with Claude Code:
+
+```bash
+/plugin marketplace add bitwarden/ai-plugins
+```

 ### Understanding MCP servers
 
 MCP servers are separate processes that communicate with Claude through a standardized protocol.

 ### Automated reviews
 
 Actions workflows for review of issues and pull requests. Targets two use cases:
 
-- Review of non-draft pull requests: The above `review-code.md` Markdown file is used as a gate to
-  execute the workflow. Repositories without this file will not have automated code reviews
-  performed. Reviews are posted via a persistent comment that updates with new commits.
+- Review of pull requests: Reviews are posted via a persistent comment that updates with new
+  commits. Reviews will only performed if an `ai-review` label is present (or added) on the pull
+  request.
 - Response: By mentioning `@claude` in issue or pull request (including inline) comments. Specific
   responses to the mention will be generated.
 
 Each above use case calls a reusable workflow in the `gh-actions` repository.

-### Best practices
-
-- Commands (`.claude/commands/`): For interactive Claude Code sessions.
-- Prompts (`.claude/prompts/`): For automated GitHub Actions workflows.
-- `CLAUDE.md`: General project context available in all Claude interactions.
