The marketplace system lets you discover, install, and manage plugins from Git, local, or direct-catalog sources. It is compatible with the Claude Code plugin registry format.
Quick start
/marketplace add anthropics/claude-plugins-official
/marketplace install wordpress.com@claude-plugins-official
In the TUI, /marketplace with no arguments opens the interactive plugin browser. In non-TUI command handling, /marketplace lists configured marketplaces; use /marketplace discover to browse.
Concepts
A marketplace is a Git repository (or local directory) containing a catalog file at .omp-plugin/marketplace.json (preferred) or .claude-plugin/marketplace.json (Claude Code-compatible fallback). The catalog lists available plugins with their sources, descriptions, and metadata.
A plugin is a directory containing Claude/OMP plugin content such as skills, commands, agents, hooks, tools, MCP servers, or LSP servers. Extension modules (package.json omp.extensions entry points) are not loaded from marketplace installs — they only load for npm-installed or omp plugin linked plugins. Plugins are identified by name@marketplace (e.g. code-review@claude-plugins-official).
Scopes: marketplace plugins can be installed at two scopes:
- user (default) — available in all projects, stored in
~/.omp/plugins/installed_plugins.json - project — available only in the active project, stored in the nearest project
.omp/plugins/installed_plugins.json
Enabled project-scoped installs shadow enabled user-scoped installs of the same plugin. A disabled project install does not shadow the user install.

CLI equivalents
The same operations are available from the command line:
omp plugin marketplace add <source>
omp plugin marketplace remove <name>
omp plugin marketplace update [name]
omp plugin marketplace list
omp plugin discover [marketplace]
omp plugin install [--force] [--scope user|project] name@marketplace
omp plugin uninstall [--scope user|project] name@marketplace
omp plugin upgrade [--scope user|project] [name@marketplace]
omp plugin enable [--scope user|project] name@marketplace
omp plugin disable [--scope user|project] name@marketplace
Marketplace sources
When you run /marketplace add <source>, the system classifies the source:
| Source format | Type | Example |
|---|---|---|
owner/repo | GitHub shorthand | anthropics/claude-plugins-official |
https://...*.json | Direct catalog URL | https://example.com/marketplace.json |
https://... / http://... | Git repository unless the URL path ends in .json | https://github.com/org/repo |
git@... / ssh://... | Git repository | git@github.com:org/repo.git |
./path or ~/path or /path | Local directory | ./my-marketplace |
Git and local sources must contain a catalog at .omp-plugin/marketplace.json (preferred) or .claude-plugin/marketplace.json (Claude Code-compatible fallback). Direct catalog URLs cache only the JSON catalog; plugins in URL-sourced catalogs cannot use relative string sources like "./plugins/foo".
Catalog format (marketplace.json)
A marketplace catalog lives at .omp-plugin/marketplace.json in the repository root. When omp is the only intended consumer, prefer this path. To remain Claude Code-compatible (omp loads the same shape from either path), publish at .claude-plugin/marketplace.json instead — omp uses it as a fallback when .omp-plugin/marketplace.json is absent. A repository may ship both: omp reads the .omp-plugin/ copy, Claude Code reads the .claude-plugin/ copy. Same catalog format either way:
{
"$schema": "https://anthropic.com/claude-code/marketplace.schema.json",
"name": "my-marketplace",
"owner": {
"name": "Your Name",
"email": "you@example.com"
},
"metadata": {
"description": "A collection of plugins",
"version": "1.0.0",
"pluginRoot": "plugins"
},
"plugins": [
{
"name": "my-plugin",
"description": "What this plugin does",
"source": "./my-plugin",
"category": "development",
"homepage": "https://github.com/you/my-plugin"
}
]
}Required fields
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
name | Marketplace name. Lowercase alphanumeric, hyphens, and dots. Must start and end with alphanumeric. Max 64 chars. |
owner.name | Marketplace owner name |
plugins | Array of plugin entries |
Top-level metadata.description, metadata.version, and metadata.pluginRoot are optional. When metadata.pluginRoot is set, it is prepended to relative plugin source paths.
Plugin entry fields
| Field | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
name | yes | Plugin name (same rules as marketplace name) |
source | yes | Where to find the plugin (see below) |
description | no | Short description |
version | no | Version string; install version falls back to plugin manifest, source SHA, then 0.0.0 |
author | no | { name, email? } |
homepage | no | URL |
repository | no | Repository URL/string |
license | no | License string |
keywords | no | Array of string keywords |
category | no | Category string (e.g. development, productivity, security) |
tags | no | Array of string tags |
strict | no | Boolean |
commands | no | Slash commands provided |
agents | no | Agents provided |
hooks | no | Hook definitions |
mcpServers | no | MCP server definitions |
lspServers | no | LSP server definitions or path; copied to .lsp.json on install |
Plugin source formats
The source field supports these formats. String sources must start with ./ and are resolved inside the marketplace root, after optional metadata.pluginRoot is prepended:
Relative path (within the marketplace repo):
"source": "./my-plugin"Git repository URL:
"source": {
"source": "url",
"url": "https://github.com/org/repo.git",
"sha": "abc123..."
}GitHub shorthand:
"source": {
"source": "github",
"repo": "org/repo",
"ref": "main",
"sha": "abc123..."
}Git subdirectory (monorepo):
"source": {
"source": "git-subdir",
"url": "https://github.com/org/monorepo.git",
"path": "plugins/my-plugin",
"ref": "main",
"sha": "abc123..."
}npm package (parsed but not installable yet):
"source": {
"source": "npm",
"package": "@scope/my-plugin",
"version": "1.0.0"
}Current installer behavior rejects npm marketplace sources with npm plugin sources are not yet supported; use relative, GitHub, URL, or git-subdir sources.
