Plugin Marketplace

The Marketplace tab in the admin panel connects directly to the Fancy Mumble Plugin Marketplace — a curated directory of community plugins you can install on your server in a single click.

Server version requirement

Installing marketplace plugins requires Fancy Mumble Server 0.4.0 or newer. On older servers the install button is hidden and a warning banner is shown. You can still browse the catalogue.

Browsing plugins

Open Admin > Marketplace. The page loads the most popular plugins automatically. Each card shows:

• Plugin name and author.
• Short description.
• Star rating and download count.
• Official badge for first-party plugins maintained by the Fancy Mumble project.
• Capability tags (e.g. slash-commands, modals).

Type in the search box to filter by name, author, or keyword. Results update 300 ms after you stop typing.

Plugin detail page

Click a card to open the full detail page. It shows:

• Full description, author, and homepage link.
• README rendered from Markdown — documentation written by the plugin author.
• Version history table:
  • Version number.
  • Release date.
  • Minimum server version and minimum Fancy Mumble server version required.
  • Changelog snippet.
  • Yanked badge if a version was pulled by the author (prefer a different version).
• Tags and capability list.

Installing a plugin

1. Find the plugin you want in the search results or on the detail page.

2. Click Install.

3. The client sends an install request to your server referencing the plugin’s manifest URL from the marketplace. The server downloads and verifies the plugin.

4. A confirmation (or error) banner appears once the server responds.

5. Navigate to Server Plugins to confirm the plugin appears in the list and toggle it on if it is not already enabled.

Note

The install operation happens server-side. Your client just forwards the marketplace metadata; it never downloads the plugin binary itself.

After installing

Once the server loads the plugin, it advertises the plugin’s manifest to connected clients. Each user who connects will be prompted to review and grant trust before the plugin’s UI surfaces appear (slash commands, buttons, modals, etc.). See Plugins for what users see.

Refreshing the list

Click Refresh to re-fetch the marketplace index. Useful after a new plugin is published or if the page loaded with stale results.

Developer mode

If your Fancy Mumble preferences are set to Developer mode, an extra URL selector appears in the toolbar. This lets you point the marketplace tab at a local development instance (http://localhost) instead of the production registry. The selection is persisted in your preferences and survives restarts.

Developer mode only

The local URL override is only visible in Developer mode. It is intended for plugin authors testing a local marketplace server.
