A coding agent writing LanceDB code from memory writes whatever was in its training data: often an older API, sometimes one that never existed. The LanceDB agent plugin fixes that by supplying the current reference at the point the agent needs it.

The plugin

It ships as the lancedb plugin in the lancedb-agent-plugins repository, which is also a plugin marketplace. Install it with your agent’s plugin manager:
The plugins installer shown under Other agents is a cross-tool option. It detects which agent CLIs are on your PATH (Cursor, GitHub Copilot CLI, VS Code, Grok Build, and Kimi Code, as well as Claude Code and Codex) and installs through each one’s native plugin system. The plugin supplements the agent’s training data with current LanceDB instructions. To pick up later revisions, refresh the marketplace:
Each plugin manager clones the repository, reads its marketplace manifest to find the lancedb plugin, and hands the plugin to the agent’s own plugin store rather than copying files into your project. Claude Code and Codex keep it under ~/.claude/plugins and ~/.codex/plugins respectively, so the plugin is available in every project on the machine.The npx plugins installer defaults to the same user-wide scope. Pass --scope project to record the plugin in the current repository instead, so that everyone working in it gets the same plugin, or -t <target> to install for a single agent rather than every one it detects:
Not every agent supports project scope; npx plugins targets lists what it found and what each target supports.
