Shares of JFrog Ltd (NASDAQ:FROG) rose 2.5% on Wednesday after the company unveiled a new plugin designed for Anthropic’s Claude Code platform.
The offering, called the JFrog Platform plugin for Claude Code, is available immediately to all users of Claude Code. JFrog positioned the integration as a means to bring enterprise-grade software supply chain governance into the AI coding agent environment.
According to JFrog, the integration permits Claude Code users to run AI coding agents that operate with supply-chain awareness through the JFrog platform. The company says the plugin gives developers tools to scan, curate and secure artifacts and dependencies that AI agents consume during development, embedding governance checks directly into agent workflows.
JFrog also noted that its platform now manages more than 18 billion artifacts, a figure the company says represents a 136% increase year-over-year. The company attributed that surge to the growing volume of binaries produced by AI coding agents.
The plugin package includes what JFrog calls JFrog Platform Skills, which allow agents to carry out platform operations via natural language instructions. In addition, the integration incorporates capabilities for real-time governance, package security, license compliance and provenance validation within the development workflow.
"AI agents are active participants in the software supply chain, making decisions about dependencies, builds, and deployments - but most of them are doing it blind, without any supply chain context. This is often how malicious packages, vulnerabilities, and ungoverned AI assets enter production today, exposing organizations to software supply chain attacks."
The company said the new plugin is intended to function alongside its recently announced MCP Registry and Agent Skills Registry. JFrog also supports several AI coding environments in addition to Claude Code, including Cursor and VS Code Copilot.
