What the publisher says

From the Portage repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub

Portage lets an AI agent find and buy things from real online stores for you, and you approve every payment. It ships as a command-line tool (portage), a Claude Code plugin (buy) that drives it, and Ruby gems that let any store serve the same open protocols (MCP and UCP) to shopping agents. It is for people who want an agent to shop for them, developers building shopping agents, and merchants who want agents to buy from their store.

Status: pre-1.0. APIs may still change between minor versions. Latest release set: 0.18.0 (changelog).

Quickstart

Two ways in: let Claude shop for you with the buy plugin, or run the portage CLI yourself. Both use the same CLI and take about five minutes.

Install the buy plugin

<!-- buy-plugin-install-start --> The plugin teaches Claude Code to shop through the portage CLI, so install the CLI first.

  1. Install the CLI (portage-cli 0.9.0 or newer):
brew install tomtom87/portage/portage

Or, on Ruby 3.2 or newer, gem install portage-cli. Homebrew bundles every adapter. With RubyGems, also install portage-ucp-webmcp 0.2.0 or newer if you want the Portage browser profile and checkout autofill.

  1. Add the plugin. Inside Claude Code:
/plugin marketplace add tomtom87/Portage
    /plugin install buy@portage

Or from a shell:

claude plugin marketplace add tomtom87/Portage
    claude plugin install buy@portage
  1. Run portage setup once, in a terminal. It asks for your shipping address, optional search keys and spending caps, one skippable step at a time. It is interactive, so run it yourself rather than through Claude.
  1. Ask Claude. Type /buy a burton snowboard under $600, or just ask in plain words. The skill is listed as buy:buy. Claude checks your setup, shows real offers and a dry-run total, and waits for your yes before any purchase.

To update or remove it:

claude plugin marketplace update portage
claude plugin update buy@portage        # then restart Claude Code

claude plugin uninstall buy@portage
claude plugin marketplace remove portage
