Deploy the Atlan plugin with managed settings

Claude Code managed settings let an administrator add Atlan’s marketplace and enable the atlanai plugin on every machine. Each developer still signs in once with their own Atlan account.

Prerequisites

Managed-settings control: Administrator control of the managed-settings path on each platform.
Atlan accounts: Each developer belongs to your Atlan organization.

Steps

Write managed settings

Add the atlan marketplace and enable the plugin:

{
  "extraKnownMarketplaces": {
    "atlan": {
      "source": { "source": "github", "repo": "atlanai/atlan-plugins" },
      "autoUpdate": true
    }
  },
  "enabledPlugins": {
    "atlanai@atlan": true
  }
}

autoUpdate takes each new plugin version when Claude Code refreshes the marketplace. Without it, machines stay on the version they first installed. To hold a reviewed version instead, add "ref" with a commit or tag to the source and move it deliberately.

Copy settings to each machine

Platform	Managed settings path
macOS	`/Library/Application Support/ClaudeCode/managed-settings.json`
Linux and WSL	`/etc/claude-code/managed-settings.json`
Windows	`C:\Program Files\ClaudeCode\managed-settings.json`

Give the file administrator ownership so users cannot change it.

Verify on one machine

Claude Code lists atlanai as enabled, from the atlan marketplace.
/mcp, plugin:atlanai:atlan, Authenticate completes the browser sign-in.
“Connect me to Atlan.” shows the developer’s organization.

Claude chat and Cowork

Claude’s organization plugin page installs into Claude chat and Cowork, a separate surface from Claude Code. Add the marketplace atlanai/atlan-plugins there and the connector https://api.atlan.com/mcp for the organization.

Install the Atlan plugin
