Hey, thanks for the report. To figure out what’s going on, I’ll need a bit more detail:

  1. Where are you adding the plugin from, Settings > Plugins or via /add-plugin in chat? And what exactly happens, an error, an endless spinner, or nothing at all?
  2. A screenshot or a short screen recording of the attempt would really help.
  3. Does it still happen right after running Developer: Reload Window from the command palette?

In the meantime, you can try a couple things:

  • It might be that the GitHub connection in Cursor expired, which can affect adding plugins from GitHub repos. Try disconnecting and reconnecting GitHub in the Cursor dashboard Integrations, then try adding again.
  • Run Developer: Reload Window and try again.

Let me know what helps, and please attach a screenshot, then we can dig deeper.
