Startup error: Failed to install MCP servers from Anthropic marketplace

Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Dec 21, 2025 by TomsTech Closed Dec 25, 2025

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

  1. Start Claude Code
  2. Error appears before prompt about failing to install marketplace MCP servers

Relevant info

  • Statsig cache shows fromMarketplace: true feature 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:

  1. The marketplace MCP servers should exist and install successfully, OR
  2. The feature should be disabled/gracefully handled for accounts where it doesn't apply

Workaround

None found - the feature flag is server-side.
