What it is
Plugins can now be installed directly from the npm registry
Not Anthropic's. This is the line from the earliest changelog entry here that named it, v2.1.275.
Presence across releases
1Build by build
4One row per release since the first build this name was read out of. Absent means the build was read and the name was not in it, never mined means no bundle for that release was ever archived, and a declared type or a default is only ever what that release's own bundle stated.
First cited
1The earliest release whose published evidence quoted tengu_plugins_npm_marketplace was v2.1.275, 17 Sep 2026. That is the oldest release this project wrote about it, so it is a floor on the name's age and not the release that introduced it. It is not a presence reading: which builds carried the name is the table above.
Gate readings

Two arms, because they disagree: this account is the one account this site reads and anonymous is a baseline with no identity attached. A reading says nothing about your account, and off cannot rule out a rollout both readings sit outside of. What these readings can and cannot show.
Names beside it
Every feature flag in the inventory starting tengu_plugins, up to twelve of them.
tengu_plugins_sync_list_failedPlugin sync failure logs and telemetry now break the failure down by kind and HTTP status. never mined
tengu_plugins_sync_manifest_failedNo description from anybody. never mined
tengu_plugins_sync_mcp_relay_waitInternal plugin sync and MCP relay functions were renamed with no behavior change never mined
tengu_plugins_sync_wait_timeoutInternal plugin sync and MCP relay functions were renamed with no behavior change never mined
Read out of the published npm bundle release by release, and out of Anthropic's own documentation as this site captured it. Nothing on this page is a description anybody here wrote about what the feature flag does. All feature flags.
