Frequently asked questions

Questions people ask

What is PickAPlugin?

An independent, free directory of 346 ChatGPT and Codex plugins gathered from public GitHub sources, hand-sorted into categories with last update, license, language and install command for each.

Is PickAPlugin affiliated with OpenAI?

No. It's an independent site. ChatGPT and Codex are trademarks of OpenAI.

Is it free?

Yes, browsing and the tools are free. Makers can pay for clearly labelled featured spots. Those never change the ranking order.

How do I install a plugin I found here?

Each plugin page shows the install command from its README. See how to install a Codex plugin.

Do you test or audit plugins?

No. Descriptions are each project's own. Read the code first. Here's a two-minute checklist.

How do I get my plugin listed?

Submit it free on the submit page.

How often is the catalog updated?

It rebuilds daily, and star counts and last-update dates come from GitHub. See the changelog.

What free tools do you have?

A plugin.json validator, an MCP config converter, an install command finder and an AGENTS.md generator. All of them run in your browser.

How is this different from the built-in plugin directory?

The built-in one is mostly official and workspace plugins. We cover community plugins on GitHub. See how we compare to other directories.
