@@ -1605,9 +1605,9 @@ POST /api/cc-config/mcp/remove Body: { name, scope? }
**`PATCH /api/cc-config/settings` (key merge).** `scope` is `"user"`, `"project"`, or `"project-local"` (`settings.local.json`). `set` maps dotted key paths to JSON values; `unset` is a list of dotted key paths to delete. The server re-reads the target file **unredacted**, applies only the named keys, backs it up under `
/.cc-config-backups/settings/`, and writes atomically — so keys the UI never displayed (including secret-valued ones) survive byte-for-byte. Returns `{ path, backupPath, created, changed }`. Hooks are edited through this same route, as `set: { "hooks.PreToolUse": [{ matcher, hooks: [{ type, command, timeout? }] }] }` — i.e. `settings.json`'s own nested shape, not the flattened shape `GET /hooks` returns. Errors: `EBADSCOPE` (unknown scope), `EBADNAME` (a key segment outside `[A-Za-z0-9_$][A-Za-z0-9._$-]*`, or `__proto__`/`prototype`/`constructor`), `EREDACTED` (400 — the payload contains the `` placeholder, which would destroy a real secret), `EBADJSON` (409 — the file on disk is not valid JSON; it is left untouched rather than clobbered), `ETOOLARGE`. The project layers always resolve against the **server's** cwd; `?cwd=` is honoured on reads only, never on this write.
-**Plugins and marketplaces.** These five endpoints shell out to the `claude plugin …` CLI with an explicit argv array (never a shell string), pinned to the dashboard's `CLAUDE_HOME` via `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR`; mutating calls are serialized in-process. `source` must be `owner/repo`, an `http(s)://` URL, or an absolute path; `spec`/`key` must be `` or `@`; `scope` is `user` (default), `project` or `local`. Validation failures return 400 `EBADARG`; a missing `claude` binary returns 503 `ECLINOTFOUND`; a CLI timeout returns 504 `ETIMEOUT`; a non-zero CLI exit returns **422 `ECLIEXIT`** with the CLI's message plus `stdout`/`stderr`. Successful runs return `{ ok: true, stdout, stderr }` and broadcast `cc_config_changed`. `GET /plugins/available` proxies `claude plugin list --available --json` as `{ installed, available }`.
+**Plugins and marketplaces.** These five endpoints shell out to the `claude plugin …` CLI with an explicit argv array (never a shell string); mutating calls are serialized in-process. `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR` is pinned to `CLAUDE_HOME` only when the operator explicitly set `CLAUDE_HOME` — left unset (the default), the CLI's own default config dir already matches what `cc-discovery` reads, so the pin is left off rather than pointed at the wrong directory (see `runClaude()`'s comment in `cc-plugin-cli.js` for the incident this fixed). `source` must be `owner/repo`, an `http(s)://` URL, or an absolute path; `spec`/`key` must be `` or `@`; `scope` is `user` (default), `project` or `local`.

-**MCP servers.** `POST /api/cc-config/mcp/add` and `POST /api/cc-config/mcp/remove` shell out to `claude mcp add`/`claude mcp remove` the same way the plugin routes shell out to `claude plugin …` — an argv array, never a shell string, serialized on the SAME in-process queue `cc-plugin-cli.js` exports (`serialize`), so a plugin install and an MCP add can never spawn `claude` concurrently. `scope` is `user` or `local` only (required on add, optional on remove — omitted, the CLI removes from whichever scope the server exists in). This is the inverse of what it sounds like: `user` writes `~/.claude.json`'s top level, `local` writes its `projects[]` block — the exact source `GET /mcp`'s `projectScoped` bucket reads. The CLI's own `project` scope (a separate, shared `.mcp.json`) is refused with 400: `readMcpServers` never reads that file, so a server added there would report success and never appear in the list. `add` takes either `url` (+ optional `transport: "http"|"sse"`, `headers`) for a remote server, or `command` + `args` (+ optional `env`) for a stdio server — exactly one of the two forms. Validation failures return 400 `EBADARG`; a non-zero CLI exit returns 422 `ECLIEXIT`. `GET /api/cc-config/mcp` is unaffected — it still reads `~/.claude.json` directly; the client refetches it after either call succeeds. Rows sourced from `~/.claude/settings.json` have no CLI scope that addresses them, so the panel does not offer Remove on them.

`PUT /api/cc-config/keybindings` edits `~/.claude/keybindings.json` from a structured list of context groups (`{ groups: [{ context, bindings: [{ key, action }] }] }`). The server backs the file up first (under `/cc-config-backups/keybindings/`), preserves any top-level metadata (`$schema`/`$docs`), and replaces only the `bindings` array; duplicate contexts or duplicate keys within a context return `EBADCONTENT`. `keybindings.json` is replaced wholesale here because the live CLI does not rewrite it mid-session; `settings.json`, which it does, is only ever key-merged (see `PATCH /settings` above).
