Summary

Created metadata.json files for 8 plugins that need MCP server dependencies
Updated install/uninstall/list scripts to read from metadata.json instead of plugin.json
Added cache clearing to switch-profile.sh after profile switches

Problem

Claude Code's strict schema validation silently rejects plugins with unknown root-level fields in plugin.json (anthropics/claude-code#20409). This was causing skills to not register with zero error output.

Solution

Moved mcp_servers field to separate metadata.json files that Claude Code's schema validator ignores.

Test plan

Verified no plugin.json files have mcp_servers field
Verified all 8 metadata.json files created
Ran validate-marketplace.sh - passed
Ran verify-hooks.sh - passed
