Installation via Bodai Marketplace

The css plugin is published through the Bodai marketplace. Add the marketplace, install the plugin, and the css-mcp HTTP server becomes available as mcp__css__* tools alongside three slash commands (/css-audit-project, /css-analyze, /css-check-compat). The plugin manifest lives at .claude-plugin/plugin.json and the server is registered in the colocated .mcp.json at http://localhost:3050/mcp — start the css-mcp server first, then run claude plugin install css --marketplace bodai-plugins from a fresh session.
