A plugin marketplace is a catalog a host provides for finding and installing plugin packages, as an alternative to a local install route such as Claude Code’s --plugin-dir. The Claude plugin directory lists connectors and plugins together, and Anthropic’s submission docs describe validation, security scanning and review for submitted versions; an “Anthropic Verified” badge denotes additional review, not a guarantee. Cursor’s marketplace lists plugin and customization entries under its own security guidance describing submitted repositories and manual review, while third-party risk remains. ChatGPT and Codex share a public plugin directory, though capability behavior can differ by surface.

None of these listings are a performance or safety warranty. A submitted, reviewed or “verified” plugin can still carry risk, since review scope and depth are set by each marketplace’s own policy, not by an independent standard. Treat a marketplace listing the way you’d treat any third-party package index: useful for discovery, not a substitute for reading the manifest and the code it installs before running it.

We haven’t installed a plugin from any marketplace ourselves as of this writing, so we can’t say how any specific listed plugin behaves; this entry describes what each marketplace’s own documentation says it reviews.
