What
Before cloning any repository, such as a plugin marketplace, Claude Code checks the URL against a list of accepted forms and refuses anything else, including cleartext git:// addresses. The error names the acceptable forms.
Details
applies to every clone attempt, with no setting to bypass it
git:// is excluded explicitly because it carries no transport authentication
Evidence
not a git URL Claude Code will clone
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
