[BUG] Failed to install Anthropic marketplace · Will retry on next startup

v2.0.72 has the same issue

v2.0.73 has the same issue

This occurs in Windows as well, so it is not platform specific (I'm facing it as well and I'm not in WSL, I'm in native Windows installation).

Is this because we have "anthropics/claude-code" or "anthropics/claude-plugins-official" marketplaces already added? That is in fact my case as well.

Claude Code v2.0.75 has the same issue

Claude Code v2.0.76 has the same issue

work around:

1. open ~/.claude.json
2. find fields which name begin with officialMarketplace ..., and delete these fields
3. restart claude

work around: 1. open ~/.claude.json 2. find fields which name begin with officialMarketplace ..., and delete these fields 3. restart claude

Confirmed this is still an issue in v2.1.2 — and that this workaround also still works.

one-liner to automatically do this and keep a backup of config:

cp ~/.claude.json ~/.claude.json.bak && jq 'with_entries(select(.key | startswith("officialMarketplace") | not))' ~/.claude.json.bak > ~/.claude.json

This worked, thank you @justinoboyle 🤝

The field deletion workaround didn't work for me. 2.1.50

I'm seeing this on Windows v1.1.4498 (24f768) as well

We are seeing this issue on Mac 26.3, Claude 2.1.58, with a custom built marketplace :(, same exact error

Same here with a fresh installation in Windows, version 2.1.71

From ~/.claude.json

  "officialMarketplaceAutoInstallAttempted": true,
  "officialMarketplaceAutoInstalled": false,
  "officialMarketplaceAutoInstallFailReason": "unknown",
  "officialMarketplaceAutoInstallRetryCount": 1,
  "officialMarketplaceAutoInstallLastAttemptTime": 1772870216820,
  "officialMarketplaceAutoInstallNextRetryTime": 1772877416820,

Workaround. The marketplace folder is set to read-only. Just unchecked it. Install plugin again. You will still see an error. Just restart it and it work.

This happened to me today in a newly created VM (cc v2.1.74). A quick fix without leaving cc TUI: /plugin -> Marketplaces -> manually add "anthropics/claude-plugins-official". An error message will still persist but official plugins will be installed without any issues.

UPD: Everything works fine when installing CC inside a Docker container, but installing in a Docker sandbox (a microVM) still has this issue.

up until claude version 2.1.68, manually installing the official marketplace fails with an "invalid schema":

# claude install 2.1.68
✔ Claude Code successfully installed!
  Version: 2.1.68
  Location: ~/.local/bin/claude
  Next: Run claude --help to get started

from version 2.1.69, it works:

# claude plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-plugins-official
Adding marketplace...

✔ Successfully added marketplace: claude-plugins-official (declared in user settings)

since the stable version is marked as 2.1.58, many users are probably hitting this error...

# claude doctor

This is absolutely obnoxious to deal with every 7-10days. I would really like claude to fix some of these bugs rather than give me a "buddy".

I was running into this issue myself on a new, native install of CC 2.1.104. I wanted to at least make the warning go away, so I edited ~/.claude.json to set the marketplace install attempt to false:

  "officialMarketplaceAutoInstallAttempted": false,
  "officialMarketplaceAutoInstalled": false,
  "officialMarketplaceAutoInstallFailReason": "unknown",

then restarted Claude. _Surprisingly_, it then said "Anthropic marketplace installed" with a checkmark. Haven't seen the error come back since. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I encountered the same issue. After my verification, you can try adjusting the configuration of idea to the following settings (see screenshot for details):

This is a duplicate of #59825, which was fixed as of version 2.1.145.
