Anybody else feel like goose is really powerful and interesting but also it’s not at all clear how to use it? cc nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m
took me a bit and then it clicked. you connect MCP tools which are stdio jsonrpc servers. they provide a tools/list endpoint which goose loads into the ai prompts so that they know what to do.
there's not much more to it, goose also provides ways to connect to different ai backends.
enabling the developer mcp is most useful, since it gives ais access to your shell
Yeah, i’m muddling through it… i wasn’t familiar with MCP and i think there’s a few things you need to do in setting up goose to make it actually work well.. Documentation and improve tooling will help. My suspicion is that the goose developers are so embedded in their world that they can’t see what others need to do to get started.
here’s a cli I was using before Goose showed up. same ux but a little more obvious how it plugs together.
