### External / partner-built
Plugins under [`external_plugins/`](./external_plugins) are built and maintained by their vendors. They install from this marketplace like any other plugin, but the vendor owns the code, the connector, and the support channel.
| Plugin | Built by | What it adds |
|---|---|---|
| **[cocounsel-legal](./external_plugins/cocounsel-legal)** | Thomson Reuters | Westlaw Deep Research with fully cited reports — caselaw, statutes, regulations, Practical Law, and secondary sources across up to three U.S. jurisdictions per run. Requires a CoCounsel Legal subscription with the MCP connector enabled. Support: cocounselsupport@tr.com. |
