Plugins and the market

Plugins in the sidebar opens the Plugin Market, where you install plugins, MCP servers and skills. Whatever you’ve installed is managed under Settings → Plugins.

The Plugin Market: search and the All / Plugins / MCP / Skills filter at the top, category chips below, then cards grouped by category

Three kinds of thing

Kind	What it is	After installing
Plugin	A bundle of skills	Available in new chats right away
MCP server	An external program that gives the agent tools	Off until you switch it on
Skill collection	A set of `SKILL.md` files	Installed as one bundle you can switch on and off, like a plugin Next release

Installing

Open Plugins in the sidebar and search. You can also browse by category Next release
Open a card for the details: what it does, and which skills or servers it brings.
Click Install. MCP servers arrive switched off; turn them on under Settings → Plugins → MCP.
If an MCP server needs a key, fill it in on the detail page or under Settings → Plugins → MCP before switching it on Next release

Managing and updating

Settings → Plugins has five tabs — Plugins, MCP, Skills, Rules and Extensions — where you switch things on and off and uninstall them. A button at the top right of the market takes you straight there.
Auto-update Next release: installed items keep up with new versions by default, checked about every 30 minutes. Turn off Auto-update in the market’s ⋯ menu to be told about updates instead; the sidebar then shows how many are waiting.
Keys Next release: keys you enter for MCP servers are encrypted on this machine. They never go into settings.json and are never synced to your phone.
