# Community plugins and adapters (/docs/plugins/community)



Community plugins and adapters are third-party npm packages. The registry is static and maintained in this repository by pull request.

Use this page for discovery. Use the publishing guides when you want to create a package.

## What belongs here? [#what-belongs-here]

| Package kind | What it adds                                        | Example setup                        |
| ------------ | --------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------ |
| Adapter      | A provider implementation for one email service.    | `plugins: [acmeMailPlugin(...)]`     |
| Plugin       | Reusable send behavior, policy, hooks, or helpers.  | `plugins: [requireMetadataPlugin()]` |
| Hybrid       | A package that includes both provider and behavior. | `plugins: [providerWithDefaults()]`  |

Adapters are listed here even though users mount the package through `plugins`. The adapter is the provider implementation; the plugin is the reusable registration wrapper.

## Labels [#labels]

| Label     | Meaning                                                    |
| --------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
| Community | Listed by pull request. The package is not endorsed.       |
| Verified  | Passed the registry checks for a specific package version. |
| Official  | Maintained by OpenCore or in this repository.              |

Verified does not mean risk-free. It means the package passed the static checks documented in the registry schema.
