All plugins show disabled: Claude Code

Quick fix

Upgrade to CC Switch v4.0.0 or later; it replaces only routing fields and preserves plugin configuration.

English translation

In Claude Code, run `/plugin list`: all 8 plugins show `✘ disabled`.

Cause

Section titled “Cause”

CC Switch 3.x rewrites the entire `~/.claude/settings.json` with a provider template when switching providers or enabling or disabling routing. When the template contains only `env`, fields such as `enabledPlugins` are removed, so Claude Code shows the plugins as disabled. Similar reports describe configuration being overwritten at startup and provider settings being overwritten by restored values. Older guidance recommended saving and passing through fields such as plugin settings via “General Configuration.”

The maintainer said v4.0.0 rewrote the configuration write method to replace only key fields such as the address, credentials, model, and protocol while preserving the rest. Therefore, v4.0.0 fixes this issue.

Fix

Section titled “Fix”

  1. Upgrade CC Switch to v4.0.0 or later, and get the installer from the official Releases page.

  2. If you are still using 3.x, add `enabledPlugins` to `~/.claude/settings.local.json`, then run `/reload-plugins` in Claude Code. The reporter verified that this temporary workaround restores plugin status.

  3. In 3.x, you can also use “Edit Provider” → “General Configuration” → “Extract from Current Provider” to save general fields, then select “Write General Configuration” when switching to or creating a provider.

How can I restore plugin configuration after a provider switch clears it?
Upgrade to CC Switch v4.0.0 or later. If you are still using 3.x, add `enabledPlugins` to `~/.claude/settings.local.json` and run `/reload-plugins`.
How can I preserve general configuration, such as plugin settings, when switching providers?
On the provider edit page, open “General Configuration,” extract the fields from the current provider, and select “Write General Configuration” when switching to or creating a provider.
Could older versions also overwrite settings.json at startup or exit?
Issue reports describe the entire file being overwritten at startup, during switching, and on exit or restore. The maintainer said v4.0.0 now replaces only key fields and preserves the rest of the configuration.
