Unclear It is not stated whether plugins can still be installed from npm in some other way.
What
Plugins add commands and features to Claude Code. A marketplace is a catalogue that plugins are installed from. When you install a plugin written as plugin@marketplace, Claude Code now looks it up in that marketplace. Before, a name that could also be read as an npm package name was installed from npm, the public JavaScript package registry.
Why
Plugin names that resemble npm package names now resolve to the marketplace you named instead of being fetched from npm.
