6868 * **Active now**: `Plugin is now active.` No reload is needed.
6969 * **Active, but a server needs setup**: `Plugin is now active.` is followed by `Its bundled MCP server needs configuration before it can start`. The plugin's [bundled MCP server](/docs/en/plugins/components#include-a-packaged-mcpb-server) can't start until you set its options. Select the plugin on the **Installed** tab in `/plugin` and choose **Configure** to set the server's options.
70 * **Reload needed**: `Run /reload-plugins to activate.` The panel closes and Claude Code runs that reload for you. If the reload would [invalidate the prompt cache](/docs/en/prompt-caching#enabling-or-disabling-a-plugin), it warns and leaves the plugin pending instead. Run `/reload-plugins --force` to activate it anyway, which costs one uncached request.
