Directory growth
Plugins added to the directory each month, by whether they ship an in-chat UI.
Apps SDK apps ship an in-chat UI; plain connectors don’t. The current month is partial and drawn hatched.

Category mix
Share of new plugins each month by their primary category shelf.
Each plugin counts once, under its first listed category; the 8 largest are named and the rest — including plugins the directory itself files under Other or leaves uncategorized — fold into Other. The current month is partial and drawn hatched.

Most popular plugins
Directory position of the eight leading plugins across every day we have tracked. The directory publishes no scores — the order it lists plugins in is its ranking, so position #1 is the most popular.
The directory reports only today's ordering, so this trend is built from our own daily snapshots. The first line appears once a second day is recorded — today's standing is on the right.

About this data
- This view tracks the ChatGPT Plugin directory — OpenAI’s collection of MCP-based integrations — and refreshes once a day. Right now that’s 2,919 plugins, last updated Wed, 26 Aug 2026 01:44:06 GMT.
- OpenAI doesn’t publish popularity scores or install counts, so we rank plugins by where the directory itself places them. Plugins are grouped into categories, and we use their best category position as their rank — so ties are possible.
- We store daily snapshots to show how rankings shift over time. The growth and category charts go further back — they use the date each plugin joined the directory, so they cover its full history. Growth is split by whether a plugin ships an in-chat Apps SDK UI or is a plain connector.
- This ranking is independent from the Claude directory. The two use completely different measures, so mixing them wouldn’t mean anything.
- Developers: this view’s full ranked list is available as JSON at /api/servers?source=openai.
