This repository serves as a central index for plugins designed to extend the functionality of LobeChat, an open-source chatbot framework. It enables users to discover and integrate a wide array of tools, from web search and image generation to specialized data analysis and productivity aids, enhancing the chatbot's capabilities for diverse tasks.

How It Works

LobeChat fetches this index to present users with a browsable catalog of plugins, facilitating easy discovery and integration. The submission process involves forking the repository, adding a new plugin entry using a provided template, and submitting a pull request for review.
