The harpsichord is a stringed, specifically plucked stringed, instrument, like a guitar.
Percussion instruments are those where you have to hit something to make the sound. So drums are percussive, obviously, but less obviously the piano is also percussion, because the sound is made by striking the strings. Harpsichord is not percussive because the strings are plucked, not struck.
There are different methods for classifying Musical Instruments and they do not agree with each other. Some would say that the harp is a percussion instrument as the strings are plucked percussively.
No, a harp is a strings instrument
A string instrument (or stringed instrument) is a musical instrument that produces sound by means of vibrating strings. In the Hornbostel-Sachs scheme of musical instrument classification, used in organology, they are called chordophones. The most common string instruments in the string family are guitar, violin, viola, cello, double bass, banjo, mandolin,Ukulele, and harp. A percussion instrument is usually struck with a stick, a hammer, or even the hand as examples.

The harp is a solo string instrument, BUT it belongs to the percussion family in the orchestra, as it is used mostly for special effects.
The harp is a unique member of the stringed instrument family. Like other members of the string family, the harp's sound is produced by vibrating strings stretched between parts of a wooden frame or box. On a harp, the strings' vibrations are produced by being plucked by hand, while seven pedals at the bottom of the harp adjust the length of the strings to produce more notes.
For one thing, "string instruments" and "stringed instruments" are not the same. String instruments are the viol family and stringed instruments are any instrument that has strings. The piano and harp both qualify.Now, the piano is a percussion instrument that has strings and the harp is an unbowed stringed instrument.
The piano is a stringed instrument, as it is very similar the the harp, but on a piano the strings are attached to keys and when you press down on the key, a hammer strikes the string and plays the note. You can see this in action if you lift up the piano's lid
