Show HN: Mocca – Claude Code wrapper where Plugin takes center stage

A developer released Mocca, an open-source wrapper for Claude Code that prioritizes plugins with a marketplace, dedicated tabs, and a Canvas feature for creating mini-apps. The tool allows agents to build interactive applications, such as a mood-based media player, by combining plugins and a built-in browser-like canvas.

Hi HN!, I have been using Claude Code for a couple of month now and have discovered a lot of cool plugin like career-ops that helps you search for jobs and coding dj that plays lofi music from the terminal.

Although I love using them but I always feel like they could be a lot more than what Claude can currently offer. So I built Mocca(https://github.com/valehelle/mocca-hub). It's an app where the Plugin takes center stage.

Mocca has marketplace where you can discover existing plugin and install it. Each plugin has it's own tab and file directory.

Another cool thing is Mocca has a feature called Canvas. Canvas is basically a mini browser in the app that allows the agent to be more expressive in the respond rather than relying on markdown on chat. What makes Canvas cool is that you can actually tell the agent to create a mini app and it works using existing plugin.

For example I can install coding-dj plugin and ask it to create a media player according to my mood, weather and day of time. The agent will simply know to create a mini app inside the canvas with play ,  , next button.
