Higgsfield plugin fails to load: Unsupported plugin manifest $schema version

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

After installing the Higgsfield marketplace plugin, Cursor shows:

Error loading plugin
Unsupported plugin manifest $schema version: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cursor/plugins/main/schemas/plugin.schema.json

The plugin appears installed (skills like generate-image / generate-video are listed), but it does not load, so the Higgsfield MCP tools are unavailable in Agent chat.

Reinstalling does not fix it. This looks like the same class of issue as other marketplace plugins where an unrecognized $schema in plugin.json is treated as a hard load failure instead of a soft warning.

Environment:

  • Cursor: 3.15.6 (arm64)
  • OS: macOS
  • Plugin: Higgsfield (Higgsfield AI)
  • Plan: Pro+

Steps to Reproduce

Integrate Higgsfield Plugin with Cursor and you will view the problem

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey there!
What you’re seeing isn’t intended behavior and isn’t anything on your end - reinstalling won’t change it. We’ve let the team know and this is an issue we’re tracking.

In the meantime, if Higgsfield offers a direct MCP endpoint, you can add it yourself under Settings → MCP (or in mcp.json) to get the tools in Agent chat without the marketplace plugin: Model Context Protocol (MCP) | Cursor Docs . No timeline yet, but I’ll post back here when there’s an update.

Do you have any news about this?

Hi @Riccardo_Pandolfi!

A fix should have made it into 3.16. Let us know if you’re still facing the issue on this version!
