What is a Claude Code Marketplace?

A marketplace is a collection of Claude Code plugins shared as a cohesive unit, typically via a git repository, allowing for centralized distribution and team-wide discovery.

Can I include plugins from different sources in one marketplace?

Yes, a single marketplace can mix local relative paths, GitHub repositories (github:user/repo), and standard Git URLs.

Where must the marketplace manifest be located?

The marketplace manifest must be located specifically at .claude-plugin/marketplace.json within the root of your marketplace directory.

What are the required fields for a marketplace manifest?

A valid marketplace.json requires a 'name', an 'owner' object with a 'name', and a 'plugins' array.

How do I test my new marketplace locally?

You can add a local marketplace to Claude Code using the command '/plugin marketplace add /path/to/your-marketplace' and then install plugins from it.
