CursorAI/Plugin

• Plugins – Cursor Docs

  • CursorAI's installable bundle, declared in .cursor-plugin/plugin.json. The reference lists the packaged component types as skills, MCP servers, rules, agents, commands, hooks, and variables — see CursorAI/Hook and CursorAI/Subagent. Component paths can be declared explicitly or auto-discovered.
  • .cursor-plugin/marketplace.json makes a repository a first-class multi-plugin catalog, not just a pile of copied rules.
  • The qualification is surface parity. The reference says these bundles "work in the Cursor IDE" and makes no equivalent claim for CursorAI/CLI. Treat .cursor-plugin/plugin.json as the IDE distribution contract until CLI parity is documented.
  • Cursor ingests Claude-compatible skill locations and translates a subset of Claude hooks, but it does not install a Claude/Code/Plugin/Marketplace as a Cursor marketplace.
