Custom extension registry

By default, Kiro uses the extension marketplace at https://open-vsx.org. You can configure Kiro to use a different extenson registry, for example, a private registry for your organization that contains a limited set of vetted extensions.

Configuring a different extension marketplace

Locate the product.json file on disk. The exact location depends on the platform:

• macOS: /Applications/Kiro.app/Contents/Resources/app/product.json
• Windows: C:\Program Files\Kiro\resources\app\product.json
• Linux: /usr/lib/code/product.json

Open the product.json file in an editor, and locate the extensionsGallery property. Within that property, update serviceUrl, itemUrl, and resourceUrlTemplate to point to your private registry, instead of https://open-vsx.org.

For example, if your custom registry is hosted at https://registry.example.com, update the extensionsGallery property to look like this:

"extensionsGallery": {
    "serviceUrl": "https://registry.example.com/vscode/gallery",
    "itemUrl": "https://registry.example.com/vscode/item",
    "resourceUrlTemplate": "https://registry.example.com/vscode/unpkg/{publisher}/{name}/{version}/{path}",
    "controlUrl": "",
    "recommendationsUrl": "",
    "nlsBaseUrl": "",
    "publisherUrl": ""
}

To configure all Kiro installs in your organization to use a custom extension registry, use an endpoint management, Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution, or similar to make the above update to product.json across all your devices.
