Plugins add cross-cutting behavior and can also contribute components. Typical uses: auth/session helpers, PII filtering, tracing, logging, caching, error policy, rate-limits.

​
Define a plugin

import { Plugin } from '@frontmcp/sdk';

@Plugin({
  name: 'Cache Plugin',
  description: 'Adds transparent response caching for tools/resources',
  providers: [CacheProvider],          // plugin-scoped providers
  exports: [CacheProvider],            // re-export to host app
  adapters: [SpecNormalizerAdapter],   // optionally attach adapters
  tools: [WarmCacheTool],              // and tools/resources/prompts if desired
  resources: [],
  prompts: [],
})
export default class CachePlugin {}
Attach a plugin at app scope: 
@App({
  name: 'Billing',
  plugins: [CachePlugin, ObservabilityPlugin],
})
export default class BillingApp {}

​
What plugins can do

  • Register providers (and export them to the host app)
  • Contribute adapters, tools, resources, prompts
  • Participate in lifecycle via hooks (see Advanced → Hooks)

​
Composition

Plugins compose depth-first at the app level. Later plugins can depend on providers exported by earlier ones.
Put organization-wide concerns (auth, audit, tracing) in plugins so all generated and inline components inherit the behavior without boilerplate.
