FINANCE PLUGINS FLOOD COWORK AS CLAUDE CODE GAINS GATEWAY SMARTS
By RepoJournal · Filed · About Anthropic
S&P Global and LSEG data connectors hit the marketplace in the same cycle while Claude Code v2.1.126 ships model discovery for compatible gateways.
The knowledge-work-plugins desk added two major financial data integrations overnight [1] [2]. S&P Global brings company tearsheets, earnings previews, and Capital IQ workflows via Kensho's LLM-Ready API, while LSEG adds fixed-income, FX, equities, and macro analysis across its analytics stack. Both connect live data to Cowork, meaning your financial workflows can now pull real numbers instead of pretending. This matters: finance teams using Claude now have institutional-grade data access without custom builds.
On the Claude Code front [3], v2.1.126 shipped the `/model` picker enhancement that auto-discovers models from your gateway's `/v1/models` endpoint when you point `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` at an Anthropic-compatible gateway. The release also added `claude project purge` with `--dry-run`, interactive, and `--all` flags—critical for cleanup-heavy workflows. The `--dangerously-skip-permissions` flag now bypasses prompts for `.claude/`, `.git/`, `.vscode/`, and shell config writes, which trades safety for speed in trusted environments.
The claude-plugins-community marketplace held steady at 1921 plugins [4], no churn, clean merge.
