Cannot delete "Default" Marketplace

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

Our team wants to add our own team marketplace. For this we either have to

  • delete the default marketplace
  • or point the default marketplace to our team repository

Both does not work. Deleting the marketplace within Cursor IDE or dashboard page does not work. And there is no field to point the URL to a new location. We don’t have any plugins installed.

Steps to Reproduce

Cursor IDE:
Customize > Browse marketplace > 3 Dots next to “Default”: Remove

Expected Behavior

Deletes the default.

Screenshots / Screen Recordings

Operating System

Linux

Version Information

Cursor IDE: 3.14.7

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey there!

The Default marketplace is system-owned (Cursor auto-creates it for team-shared plugins and MCP servers), so it can’t be deleted or pointed at a git repo. Remove / Delete Marketplace still appear in the UI, but the delete is rejected with no visible error - that matches what you’re seeing.

On Teams you’re also limited to one team marketplace (docs), and Default already fills that slot, so Import / Add Marketplace stays blocked. That’s an issue we’re tracking.

Until that’s fixed, these options unblock you:

  1. Each teammate can add your repo as a personal marketplace: Customize → source dropdown → Add Marketplace → Import from GitHub (doesn’t use the team slot).
  2. Publish into Default itself via Add plugins / Add to Marketplace (no git URL needed).
  3. Enterprise lifts the 1-marketplace cap if you need a separate git-backed team marketplace alongside Default.

I’ll post here when there’s an update.

Ok thank you, we are having the same issue. We aren’t able to delete default and make a new one to point to a repo.
