What's Wrong?

According to the docs, the extraKnownMarketplaces key should be available to be set in any settings file:

So when I added a marketplace to /etc/claude-code/managed-settings.json:

{
  "extraKnownMarketplaces": {
    "company-tools": {
      "source": {
        "source": "git",
        "url": "<redacted>"
      }
    }
  }
}

I expected this to be added (or for the user to be prompted for this to be added) when they opened up claude. Instead no marketplaces are added, and users are not prompted to add marketplaces added in the managed settings. These marketplaces do not show up when looking at the TUI in /plugins.

What Should Happen?

Claude should either automatically set up marketplaces configured in extraKnownMarketplaces, or should prompt users to set up marketplaces configured there.

Steps to Reproduce

(Assuming a clean, new, claude code setup.)

1. Create a file in /etc/claude-code/managed-settings.json with the same content as above.
2. Replace <redacted> with a git url to a valid claude code marketplace.
3. Run claude
4. Run /plugin and navigate to Marketplaces

You'll be looking at a blank list (with maybe the exception of the default anthropic one, if applicable).
