--- title: Create Plugin Version url: https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/api/java/beta/organization/plugins/versions/create --- # Create Plugin Version `BetaPluginVersion beta().organization().plugins().versions().create(params, requestOptions = RequestOptions.none())` **POST** `/v1/organizations/plugins/{plugin_id}/versions` Add a version to an organization-owned Plugin by uploading the new version's files; it becomes the version served to members unless the Plugin's served version has been pinned. The upload is the same `multipart/form-data` as creating a Plugin: the version's files (`files`, each part sent as `files[]`) and optional `release_notes`. The uploaded manifest's `name` must equal the Plugin's `name`. Returns the stored version; read the Plugin back to see which version it serves. Only a Plugin in a `manual` marketplace takes uploads; a Plugin synchronized from a repository gets its versions from the repository. When the Plugin is in the organization's library marketplace, a version that adds a skill with the name of an organization skill (a skill an administrator uploaded for the whole organization in claude.ai) is refused with a 409: `error_code` `skill_name_taken`, with that name in `details.skill_name`. A 503 with `error_code` `registration_pending` means the version was stored but is not yet usable; a later version create on the Plugin completes it. For a worked example, see [Create a version](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/manage-claude/plugins-api?sdk_languages=java#create-a-version) in the Plugins API guide. **Accepted credentials:** an Admin API key with the `write:plugins` scope. Every request must include the beta header `anthropic-beta: ce-plugins-2026-09-01`. A request without it returns `404`, exactly as if the endpoint did not exist. The Plugins API is in beta and is available to Claude Enterprise organizations only. It is not available to Claude Platform (Claude Console) organizations, or to organizations with HIPAA readiness enabled. ## Parameters - `VersionCreateParams params` - `Optional pluginId` (path parameter) ID of the Plugin (prefixed `plugin_`). - `Optional> betas` (header parameter) This endpoint is in beta: requests must send `ce-plugins-2026-09-01` in this header. - `MESSAGE_BATCHES_2024_09_24("message-batches-2024-09-24")` - `PROMPT_CACHING_2024_07_31("prompt-caching-2024-07-31")` - `COMPUTER_USE_2024_10_22("computer-use-2024-10-22")` - `COMPUTER_USE_2025_01_24("computer-use-2025-01-24")` - `PDFS_2024_09_25("pdfs-2024-09-25")` - `TOKEN_COUNTING_2024_11_01("token-counting-2024-11-01")` - `TOKEN_EFFICIENT_TOOLS_2025_02_19("token-efficient-tools-2025-02-19")` - `OUTPUT_128K_2025_02_19("output-128k-2025-02-19")` - `FILES_API_2025_04_14("files-api-2025-04-14")` - `MCP_CLIENT_2025_04_04("mcp-client-2025-04-04")` - `MCP_CLIENT_2025_11_20("mcp-client-2025-11-20")` - `DEV_FULL_THINKING_2025_05_14("dev-full-thinking-2025-05-14")` - `INTERLEAVED_THINKING_2025_05_14("interleaved-thinking-2025-05-14")` - `CODE_EXECUTION_2025_05_22("code-execution-2025-05-22")` - `EXTENDED_CACHE_TTL_2025_04_11("extended-cache-ttl-2025-04-11")` - `CONTEXT_1M_2025_08_07("context-1m-2025-08-07")` - `CONTEXT_MANAGEMENT_2025_06_27("context-management-2025-06-27")` - `MODEL_CONTEXT_WINDOW_EXCEEDED_2025_08_26("model-context-window-exceeded-2025-08-26")` - `SKILLS_2025_10_02("skills-2025-10-02")` - `FAST_MODE_2026_02_01("fast-mode-2026-02-01")` - `OUTPUT_300K_2026_03_24("output-300k-2026-03-24")` - `USER_PROFILES_2026_03_24("user-profiles-2026-03-24")` - `USER_PROFILES_2026_08_18("user-profiles-2026-08-18")` - `USER_PROFILES_2026_09_04("user-profiles-2026-09-04")` - `ADVISOR_TOOL_2026_03_01("advisor-tool-2026-03-01")` - `MANAGED_AGENTS_2026_04_01("managed-agents-2026-04-01")` - `CACHE_DIAGNOSIS_2026_04_07("cache-diagnosis-2026-04-07")` - `DREAMING_2026_04_21("dreaming-2026-04-21")` - `THINKING_TOKEN_COUNT_2026_05_13("thinking-token-count-2026-05-13")` - `SERVER_SIDE_FALLBACK_2026_06_01("server-side-fallback-2026-06-01")` - `SERVER_SIDE_FALLBACK_2026_07_01("server-side-fallback-2026-07-01")` - `FALLBACK_CREDIT_2026_06_01("fallback-credit-2026-06-01")` - `FALLBACK_CREDIT_2026_07_01("fallback-credit-2026-07-01")` - `AGENT_MEMORY_2026_07_22("agent-memory-2026-07-22")` - `MID_CONVERSATION_TOOL_CHANGES_2026_07_01("mid-conversation-tool-changes-2026-07-01")` - `COMPACT_2026_01_12("compact-2026-01-12")` - `COMPUTER_USE_2025_11_24("computer-use-2025-11-24")` - `MCP_TUNNELS_2026_06_22("mcp-tunnels-2026-06-22")` - `STRUCTURED_OUTPUTS_2025_11_13("structured-outputs-2025-11-13")` - `TASK_BUDGETS_2026_03_13("task-budgets-2026-03-13")` - `THINKING_DISPLAY_UPDATES_2026_08_18("thinking-display-updates-2026-08-18")` - `CE_USER_MANAGEMENT_2026_07_13("ce-user-management-2026-07-13")` - `MID_CONVERSATION_OUTPUT_CONFIG_2026_07_01("mid-conversation-output-config-2026-07-01")` - `THINKING_BINDING_CONTROLS_2026_08_01("thinking-binding-controls-2026-08-01")` - `MID_CONVERSATION_SYSTEM_CLEAR_AT_2026_08_21("mid-conversation-system-clear-at-2026-08-21")` - `COMPACT_2026_09_04("compact-2026-09-04")` - `INLINE_TOOLS_2026_09_15("inline-tools-2026-09-15")` - `MCP_CLIENT_2026_09_15("mcp-client-2026-09-15")` - `CE_PLUGINS_2026_09_01("ce-plugins-2026-09-01")` - `SPEND_LIMIT_READS_2026_09_26("spend-limit-reads-2026-09-26")` - `TELEMETRY_DESTINATIONS_2026_08_11("telemetry-destinations-2026-08-11")` - `List files` The version's files: one part per file, the part's filename being the file's path within the Plugin (for example `skills/review-pr/SKILL.md`), or a single `.zip` or `.plugin` archive holding them all.

Null on a `pass`, whenever `assessment` is null, and when no mechanism is reported for the verdict. - `Status status` `processing` while a scan runs, `completed` when it ran to completion, `errored` when it could not run or its outcome cannot be read. - `COMPLETED("completed")` - `ERRORED("errored")` - `PROCESSING("processing")` - `LocalDateTime createdAt` RFC 3339. format: date-time - `Optional createdBy` Who uploaded this version; null when not recorded. - `class BetaPluginUserActor` - `JsonValue type = "user_actor"` A member of the organization. - `Optional emailAddress` The member's email address; may be null, for example when they are no longer a member of the organization. - `String userId` The member's User ID. - `class BetaPluginApiActor` - `JsonValue type = "api_actor"` An Admin API key, in the same form the Compliance API activity feed uses for it. - `String apiKeyId` The key's ID. - `Optional description` The manifest's description; null when it declares none. - `Optional displayName` The manifest's display name; null when it declares none. - `Optional manifestVersion` The version string the manifest declares; null when it declares none. - `String pluginId` The Plugin's ID. - `Optional reach` How far the version reaches: `remote`, `privileged` or `contained`, as on the Plugin; null when not classifiable. - `CONTAINED("contained")` - `PRIVILEGED("privileged")` - `REMOTE("remote")` - `Optional releaseNotes` As supplied with the upload; null when none were supplied. ## Example ```java package com.anthropic.example; import com.anthropic.client.AnthropicClient; import com.anthropic.client.okhttp.AnthropicOkHttpClient; import com.anthropic.models.beta.organization.plugins.versions.BetaPluginVersion; import com.anthropic.models.beta.organization.plugins.versions.VersionCreateParams; import java.io.ByteArrayInputStream; public final class Main { private Main() {} public static void main(String[] args) { AnthropicClient client = AnthropicOkHttpClient.fromEnv(); VersionCreateParams params = VersionCreateParams.builder() .pluginId("plugin_id") .addFile(new ByteArrayInputStream("Example data".getBytes())) .build(); BetaPluginVersion betaPluginVersion = client.beta().organization().plugins().versions().create(params); } } ``` ### Response (200) ```json { "id": "pluginver_01KaZmQpRsTuVwXyZ2b4c6d8", "components": [ { "description": "description", "name": "review-pr", "type": "skill" } ], "content_scan": { "assessment": "warn", "reason": "credential-exposure", "status": "completed" }, "created_at": "2026-03-14T09:26:53.589793Z", "created_by": { "email_address": "user@example.com", "type": "user_actor", "user_id": "user_01WCz1FkmYMm4gnmykNKUu3Q" }, "description": "Reviews pull requests against your team's conventions.", "display_name": "Code Review Helper", "manifest_version": "1.2.0", "plugin_id": "plugin_01JyHfbRkZvD1gW7oTqXc3Ne", "reach": "contained", "release_notes": "Adds a review checklist for database migrations.", "type": "plugin_version" } ```
