Claude Code v2.1.304 ·

Default plugin setup now depends on whether the account is on a Pro or Max plan

Whether Claude Code sets up plugins by default now also checks for a Pro or Max plan and an empty remote settings response

What

Claude Code has a step that decides whether to set up plugins for an account by default when neither the host program nor a managed setting supplies them. That decision now includes a new check, which requires all of these:

  • the account's plan is Pro or Max
  • the remote settings response came back empty
  • the remote settings request has been answered

Before, this step had no plan check. A related check that previously returned true for Team or Enterprise accounts now returns false when a second plan value is also Team or Enterprise.

Why

In practice, which accounts get plugins set up by default can now differ when the remote settings fetch returns nothing.
