Source Intelligence

DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Plugin Dependency Auto-Installation

MCP plugins that declare dependencies in plugin.json are now automatically installed if they're from a compatible marketplace. Cross-marketplace dependencies are validated and blocked with an informative message.

Details
  • Validates marketplace compatibility before auto-installing
  • Shows truncated dependency lists: "dep1, dep2, dep3, dep4, dep5 (+ N dependencies)"
  • Plugins from different marketplaces show: "not auto-installing — install it manually"
  • Plugins not found in any marketplace are flagged: "not auto-installing"
  • Deprecation notes (depNote) are now surfaced in plugin installation feedback
Evidence

Plugin dependency system (search for "plugin.json declares dependency")

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
