`/plugin` list shows "claude.ai Google Drive MCP" twice on a brand-new account with zero plugins installed

Environment
- Claude Code: 2.1.114
- Platform: macOS (Darwin 25.4.0)
- Account: brand new — first-ever session on this account
- Plugins installed by me: zero (I have never installed any plugin on this machine, and specifically never installed or enabled any Google Drive plugin or MCP)
- Installed marketplaces:
anthropics/claude-plugins-officialonly (auto-installed on first launch)
What I see
Opening /plugin on this zero-config account, the claude.ai Google Drive connector appears as two identical rows:
claude.ai Google Drive MCP · △ Enter to auth
claudeai
claude.ai Google Drive MCP · △ Enter to auth
Both rows do the same thing when activated.
(The only other entry visible is a built-in computer-use MCP row, disabled by default — that one is expected.)
Local config (confirms only one registration exists on disk)
~/.claude/settings.json→{}~/.claude.json→mcpServers: {},enabledMcpjsonServers: []for the cwd project~/.claude/mcp-needs-auth-cache.json→ a single entry:"claude.ai Google Drive"- No
google-driveplugin exists under~/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/claude-plugins-official/(neitherplugins/norexternal_plugins/)
So there is exactly one Google Drive registration on disk, but the UI renders it twice. Looks like a dedupe miss in the /plugin view.
Repro
- Log into Claude Code on a brand new account (no prior config, install zero plugins).
- Let the official marketplace auto-install on first launch.
- Open
/plugin. The claude.ai Google Drive MCP row is listed twice.
Expected
One row per MCP.
