Works with
- Claude Code
- Codex
- Cursor
- VS Code
- Copilot CLI
From the marketplaces that list it and the MCP transport it declares, as each client documents them. We do not test plugins.

As a local MCP server: npm package
Built from what Official MCP Registry declares.
claude mcp add --env "QRING_FILE_PASSPHRASE=<YOUR_QRING_FILE_PASSPHRASE>" --transport stdio q-ring -- npx -y @i4ctime/q-ring[mcp_servers.q-ring]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "@i4ctime/q-ring"]
[mcp_servers.q-ring.env]
QRING_FILE_PASSPHRASE = "<YOUR_QRING_FILE_PASSPHRASE>"{
"mcpServers": {
"q-ring": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@i4ctime/q-ring"
],
"env": {
"QRING_FILE_PASSPHRASE": "<YOUR_QRING_FILE_PASSPHRASE>"
}
}
}
}Replace the values in angle brackets with your own. We show the names of the settings, never values.
Optional settings it also lists: QRING_BACKEND, QRING_CONFIG_DIR, QRING_FILE_BACKEND_PATH.

Found by meaning, not by shared code or a shared repository: similar plugins stay separate products, and this is not a review or a recommendation.
Is this your plugin?
Add it to your projects and prove you maintain it with a file in its repository, a file on your domain or a DNS record. You get alerts when a marketplace lists it, drops it, changes its verified mark or what it asks for, and its remote endpoint goes on monitoring as a web service.
Data comes from the Official MCP Registry (registry.modelcontextprotocol.io), CC0 1.0. Figures come from our own regular passes over the marketplaces, last read on . We publish no contact details for plugin publishers.
