gabrielchua · x · 2026-08-07

OpenAI has partnered with AWS, Cursor, GitHub, and Vercel to introduce the Agent Plugins open standard. This specification allows developers to build a plugin once and run it across compatible AI agent clients.

The standard packages Agent Skills and supports MCP server configurations in a shared format, significantly improving plugin portability across different platforms. A canonical GitHub example and migration guide have also been released to help developers transition existing plugins.
