Startup error: Failed to install MCP servers from Anthropic marketplace

Description
On every startup, Claude Code attempts to install MCP servers "from Anthropic marketplace" and fails with an error. All manually-configured MCP servers connect fine.
Environment
- OS: Windows 11 (Build 26100.7462)
- Claude Code version: 2.0.75
- Account: Signed up through Anthropic Console/API
Reproduction
- Start Claude Code
- Error appears before prompt about failing to install marketplace MCP servers
Relevant info
- Statsig cache shows
fromMarketplace: truefeature flag (gate ID 3148619311) - Deleting the statsig cache doesn't fix it - flag is set at account level
- 19 custom MCP servers all connect successfully
- Error is cosmetic but appears on every startup
Expected behavior
Either:
- The marketplace MCP servers should exist and install successfully, OR
- The feature should be disabled/gracefully handled for accounts where it doesn't apply
Workaround
None found - the feature flag is server-side.
