What issue are you seeing?
I cannot load any official curated Codex plugins in either Codex CLI or the Codex desktop app.
Environment:
- Codex CLI: 0.134.0
- OS: Windows x64
- Auth: Logged in using ChatGPT
- Model: gpt-5.5
- Subscription: ChatGPT Plus
- Region/location: Vietnam
Observed behavior:
- In the Codex desktop app, the Plugins page shows “No plugins found”.
- In the Codex CLI TUI,
/pluginsshows no available marketplace plugins. codex plugin marketplace listreturns:
No plugin marketplaces in scope.
codex plugin listreturns:
No marketplace plugins found.
codex features listshows:
plugins stable true
codex doctor --jsonshows auth is configured with ChatGPT tokens, config loads successfully, plugins are enabled, provider reachability is OK, WebSocket handshake succeeds, and the installation is consistent.- Attempting to manually add the official marketplace fails because it is reserved:
codex plugin marketplace add https://github.com/openai/plugins
returns:
Error: marketplace 'openai-curated' is reserved and cannot be added from this source
I already tried reinstalling Codex CLI, but the issue remains.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
Steps to reproduce:
- Install and log in to Codex CLI using ChatGPT.
- Confirm version:
codex --version
Output:
codex-cli 0.134.0
- Confirm login:
codex login status
Output:
Logged in using ChatGPT
- Confirm plugins feature is enabled:
codex features list
Output includes:
plugins stable true
- Check marketplace discovery:
codex plugin marketplace list
Output:
No plugin marketplaces in scope.
- Check available plugins:
codex plugin list
Output:
No marketplace plugins found.
- Open Codex CLI TUI:
codex
Then run:
/plugins
Result: no marketplace plugins are available.
- Open Codex desktop app and go to the Plugins page.
Result: the page shows “No plugins found”.
- Try to manually add the official marketplace:
codex plugin marketplace add https://github.com/openai/plugins
Output:
Error: marketplace 'openai-curated' is reserved and cannot be added from this source
What is the expected behavior?
The official curated Codex plugin marketplace should load in both Codex CLI and the Codex desktop app.
I expect the Plugins page / /plugins browser to show official curated plugins, including Superpowers, and allow me to install them.
codex plugin marketplace list or codex plugin list should show the official curated marketplace/plugins, or the app should otherwise surface any entitlement, rollout, region, or service-side error explaining why no plugins are available.
