The Parallel plugin for Claude Code gives your coding agent access to live web search, content extraction, deep research, and data enrichment — all available as slash commands and automatic skills directly inside Claude Code.

<Tip>View the complete repository for this plugin [here](https://github.com/parallel-web/parallel-agent-skills)</Tip>

## Features

* **Web Search**: Fast, real-time search for current events, documentation lookups, and fact-checking
* **Content Extraction**: Clean content extraction from any URL, including JavaScript-heavy sites and PDFs
* **Deep Research**: Exhaustive, multi-source research reports with configurable depth and processing power
* **Data Enrichment**: Bulk enrichment of companies, people, or products with web-sourced fields like CEO names, funding, and contact info

## Prerequisites

<Steps>
  <Step title="Install the Parallel CLI">
    Install the [Parallel CLI](/integrations/cli) via `pipx`:

    ```bash theme={"system"}
    pipx install "parallel-web-tools[cli]" && pipx ensurepath
    ```

    See the [CLI docs](/integrations/cli) for `uv`, Homebrew, npm, and other installation methods.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Authenticate">
    ```bash theme={"system"}
    parallel-cli login
    # or
    export PARALLEL_API_KEY="your_api_key"
    ```

    See the [CLI docs](/integrations/cli#authentication) for other authentication methods.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Installation

Install the plugin from the Claude Code Plugin Marketplace:

```bash theme={"system"}
/plugin marketplace add parallel-web/parallel-agent-skills
/plugin install parallel
```

Then run the setup command to verify the CLI is installed and authenticated:

```
/parallel:setup
```

## Slash Commands

Once installed, the following commands are available in Claude Code:

| Command                      | Description                                  |
| ---------------------------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| `/parallel:search <query>`   | Search the web for current information       |
| `/parallel:extract <url>`    | Extract content from a URL                   |
| `/parallel:research <topic>` | Run a deep research task                     |
| `/parallel:enrich <data>`    | Enrich a list of entities with web data      |
| `/parallel:status <run_id>`  | Check the status of a research task          |
| `/parallel:result <run_id>`  | Get the results of a completed research task |
| `/parallel:setup`            | Install CLI and authenticate                 |

## Usage

Beyond slash commands, the plugin also installs skills that Claude Code uses automatically based on context:

* Ask a question that needs current information and Claude will search the web
* Paste a URL and ask Claude to read it — it will extract the content
* Ask for exhaustive research on a topic and Claude will run a deep research task
* Give Claude a list of companies and ask it to find their CEOs — it will use data enrichment
