that hosts metadata about available Meshtastic plugins. This
registry provides:
</p>
<ul>
<li>A searchable catalog of community-developed plugins</li>
<li>Version information and release history</li>
<li>Dependency relationships between plugins</li>
<li>Author information and repository links</li>
<li>Automatic dependency resolution during installation</li>
</ul>

<h2>What is the Mesh Plugin Manager?</h2>
<p>
The <strong>Mesh Plugin Manager (MPM)</strong> is the command-line
tool you use to access the registry and install plugins. It's a
lightweight package manager designed specifically for Meshtastic
plugins that provides a simple and powerful way to extend your
Meshtastic firmware with additional functionality.
</p>
<div class="highlight-box">
<strong>Key Features:</strong>
<div class="method-card">
<span class="badge hard">Advanced</span>
<h3>Mesh Plugin Manager</h3>
<p>
Command-line tool for building firmware locally. Requires
PlatformIO and Poetry setup.
</p>
<ul>
<li>Install and manage plugins from the registry</li>
<li>Automatic dependency resolution with SemVer support</li>
<li>Lockfile generation for reproducible builds</li>
<li>Protobuf file generation for plugins</li>
<li>Seamless PlatformIO build system integration</li>
<li>Local development</li>
<li>Full control</li>
<li>CLI interface</li>
<li>Developer-focused</li>
</ul>
</div>
</section>
<section class="section">
<h2>Installation</h2>
<p>
MPM is installed as a development dependency via Poetry. From the
firmware repository root:
</p>
<div class="code-block">
<pre><code class="language-bash">poetry install</code></pre>
</div>
<div class="highlight-box">
<strong>Important:</strong> Poetry must be configured to create the
virtual environment in the project directory (<code>.venv</code>) so
that the PlatformIO build system can find it. Configure it locally
for the project:

class="code-block"

<h2>Usage</h2>
<div class="authors">
<h3>Creating Your Own Plugin?</h3>
<p>
Once installed, you can use the <code>mpm</code> command via Poetry
to browse the registry and manage your plugins:
Check out the plugin development guide for documentation on plugin
structure, protobuf generation, and module registration.
</p>
<div class="code-block">
<pre><code class="language-bash"># List installed plugins
poetry run mpm list
# List all available plugins from registry
poetry run mpm list --all
# Install a plugin from the registry
poetry run mpm install &lt;slug&gt;
# Install all plugins from meshtastic.json
poetry run mpm install
# Remove a plugin
poetry run mpm remove &lt;slug&gt;
# Generate protobuf files for all plugins
poetry run mpm proto</code></pre>

<ul>
<li>Plugin metadata (name, description, version, author)</li>
<li>Repository URLs for source code</li>
<li>Dependency specifications with version constraints</li>
<li>Compatibility information</li>
