Installable packages are listed in the Package Index.

Installs a WP-CLI package.
wp package install <name|git|path|zip>
Packages are required to be a valid Composer package, and can be specified as:
- Package name from WP-CLI's package index.
- Git URL accessible by the current shell user.
- Path to a directory on the local machine.
- Local or remote .zip file.
Packages are installed to ~/.wp-cli/packages/ by default. Use the
WP_CLI_PACKAGES_DIR environment variable to provide a custom path.
When installing a local directory, WP-CLI simply registers a reference to the directory. If you move or delete the directory, WP-CLI's reference breaks.
When installing a .zip file, WP-CLI extracts the package to
~/.wp-cli/packages/local/<package-name>.
OPTIONS
<name|git|path|zip>
Name, git URL, directory path, or .zip file for the package to install.
Names can optionally include a version constraint
(e.g. wp-cli/server-command:@stable).
EXAMPLES
# Install the latest development version from the package index.
$ wp package install wp-cli/server-command
Installing package wp-cli/server-command (dev-master)
Updating /home/person/.wp-cli/packages/composer.json to require the package...
