i created local plugin with hook, want to verify, it can’t show hooks in local, and i checked superpowers in marketplace, it has that, i am not sure is that impcated by marketplace or not?
Not Marketplace-gated. Local plugin hooks still load and run.
The Hooks list on the plugin detail page is only filled for Marketplace catalog plugins right now, so a local plugin won’t show that section even when it has hooks. Superpowers appears because its catalog metadata includes sessionStart.
To verify yours is active, open Cursor Settings → Hooks (and Execution Log after triggering the event). As long as your plugin ships hooks/hooks.json (or declares hooks in the manifest), it should be available there.
We’ve logged the missing Hooks section on the local plugin detail page with our team.
@mohitjain Thank you Sir, got It.
Hey @Leon_He
Following up here, the plugin detail page will list Hooks for local plugins starting in Cursor 3.17!
As mentioned before, your local hooks have been loading and running all along; this fixes the missing Hooks section in the display. Give it a look once you’re on that version.
Thank you for letting me know!
It looks like this still requires “Include Third-Party Plugins, Skills, and Other Configs” to be enabled. That doesn’t really make sense if you are developing a Cursor plugin (imported as a local plugin). It seems like that flag should not need to be enabled unless you’re trying to link a local plugin that has only Claude, Codex, etc. plugin configuration.
Hey @danielfinke, good catch, you’re reading that right.
Today that setting gates all plugin hooks, including ones from Cursor-native local plugins, even though skills and MCP servers from the same plugin load independently of it. The setting is on by default so most people never run into this, but with it turned off a local plugin’s hooks won’t load or appear.
We agree that’s confusing when you’re developing a Cursor plugin, and I’ve flagged it to the team!
Hey @Colin, just wanted to check in as to whether the team has addressed that setting nuance
