6363> A plugin marketplace isn't [Claude Marketplace](https://claude.com/marketplace). Claude Marketplace is the website at claude.com/marketplace where you browse plugins, connectors, partner products, and service partners. It isn't a marketplace you add with `/plugin marketplace add`.

65Claude Code adds Anthropic's official marketplace the first time you start an interactive terminal session, unless a [managed policy](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/plugins/org.md#allow-the-official-marketplace-and-your-own) blocks it. Claude Code doesn't add Anthropic's community and demo marketplaces on its own. To distinguish the three Anthropic marketplaces, read [Anthropic's marketplaces](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/plugins/anthropic-marketplaces.md). To see what the official one lists, open the **Discover** tab of `/plugin` in a session or browse [Claude Marketplace](https://claude.com/marketplace/plugins).

8585A marketplace's name places it in one of three tiers. Claude Code accepts the official and community names only for marketplaces sourced from `github.com/anthropics/` repositories:
8686
87* **Official**: marketplaces with one of Anthropic's [official marketplace names](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/plugins/security.md#official-marketplace-names), including `claude-plugins-official` and the demo marketplace `claude-code-plugins`.
87* **Official**: marketplaces with one of Anthropic's [official marketplace names](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/plugins/security.md#official-marketplace-names), including `claude-plugins-official` and `claude-code-plugins`.
8888* **Community**: marketplaces with one of Anthropic's community names, such as `claude-community`. [Identify Anthropic's marketplaces by name](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/plugins/security.md#marketplace-tiers) lists them.
8989* **Third-party**: every other marketplace. A marketplace your coworker or your organization publishes is third-party.
