Overview

What is goose-with-mcp-servers?

A Docker image that bundles the Goose AI agent with MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers. It allows users to run Goose in a containerized environment and configure it to connect to local or remote LLMs—for example, via Ollama. The image also supports adding MCP extensions such as the GitHub server.

How to use goose-with-mcp-servers?

Run goose configure to set up the LLM provider (e.g., Ollama) and to add extensions like the GitHub MCP server. The dev container automatically installs Goose via a postCreateCommand that runs curl -fsSL https://github.com/block/goose/releases/download/stable/download_cli.sh | CONFIGURE=false bash. A system dependency (libdbus-1-3) must be installed via sudo apt-get.
