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, /plugins shows no available marketplace plugins.
  • codex plugin marketplace list returns:
    No plugin marketplaces in scope.
  • codex plugin list returns:
    No marketplace plugins found.
  • codex features list shows:
    plugins stable true
  • codex doctor --json shows 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:

  1. Install and log in to Codex CLI using ChatGPT.

  2. Confirm version:
    codex --version
    Output:
    codex-cli 0.134.0

  3. Confirm login:
    codex login status
    Output:
    Logged in using ChatGPT

  4. Confirm plugins feature is enabled:
    codex features list
    Output includes:
    plugins stable true

  5. Check marketplace discovery:
    codex plugin marketplace list
    Output:
    No plugin marketplaces in scope.

  6. Check available plugins:
    codex plugin list
    Output:
    No marketplace plugins found.

  7. Open Codex CLI TUI:
    codex
    Then run:
    /plugins
    Result: no marketplace plugins are available.

  8. Open Codex desktop app and go to the Plugins page.
    Result: the page shows “No plugins found”.

  9. 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.
