Root Cause

The Plugins marketplace in the Claude Desktop app fails to load — all plugin cards show as skeleton/placeholder tiles and never populate. Confirmed root cause: plugins.claude.ai does not resolve via DNS (DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN in browser). Steps to reproduce:

What's Wrong?

The Plugins marketplace in the Claude Desktop app fails to load — all plugin cards show as skeleton/placeholder tiles and never populate. Confirmed root cause: plugins.claude.ai does not resolve via DNS (DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN in browser). Steps to reproduce:

Open Claude Desktop app Go to Directory → Plugins Marketplace shows only grey skeleton tiles, no plugins load

Expected behavior: Plugins marketplace loads and displays available plugins for installation. Actual behavior: Marketplace never loads. Navigating directly to https://plugins.claude.ai in browser also fails with DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN. Environment:

Location: South Africa (Johannesburg) ISP: Telkom OS: Windows Other Anthropic domains (claude.ai, api.anthropic.com) work fine

Related issues: #26951, #28853, #29047, #51605

What Should Happen?

The Plugins marketplace should:

Load and display all available plugins in the Directory Allow browsing, searching and filtering plugins Allow clicking on a plugin to install it into the desktop app Installed plugins should then be active and usable in conversations

Specifically I need:

Searchfit SEO plugin to be installable for website SEO auditing and content strategy Brightdata plugin to be installable for web scraping and data extraction

TL;DR

The most likely fix is to resolve the DNS issue with plugins.claude.ai, which is currently not resolvable, causing the Plugins marketplace in the Claude Desktop app to fail to load.

Guidance

  • Verify the DNS issue by checking if other users in different locations can resolve plugins.claude.ai.
  • Check with the ISP (Telkom) to see if there are any DNS resolution issues on their end.
  • Try using a different DNS resolver (e.g. Google Public DNS) to see if the issue persists.
  • If the issue is specific to the Claude Desktop app, try clearing the app's cache and restarting to see if it resolves the problem.

Notes

The issue seems to be related to a DNS resolution problem, which is causing the Plugins marketplace to fail to load. The fact that other Anthropic domains work fine suggests that the issue is specific to plugins.claude.ai.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Use a different DNS resolver (e.g. Google Public DNS) to see if the issue persists, as this may help resolve the DNS issue with plugins.claude.ai.
