Toggle a plugin without uninstalling it

claude plugin disable and claude plugin enable flip an installed plugin on or off across user, project, or local scope — the plugin and its pinned version stay in place.

bash

# Turn it off for the whole team (writes into .claude/settings.json)
claude plugin disable formatter --scope project

# Turn it off just for you (default scope)
claude plugin disable formatter

# Re-enable later — the --scope must match the one used to disable
claude plugin enable formatter --scope project

# Disambiguate when two marketplaces have the same plugin name
claude plugin disable formatter@anthropics/claude-plugins
