Install Green API WhatsApp in Goose

What you need first

• Goose, installed.
• Nothing else: the server runs on its publisher's machines and Goose connects to it.
• Your own values for YOUR_X_INSTANCE_ID,YOUR_X_API_TOKEN.

Steps

1. Open ~/.config/goose/config.yaml. On Windows it is %APPDATA%\Block\goose\config\config.yaml.
2. Add this entry. If the file already has extensions, add only the entry inside it.

extensions:
  "whatsapp":
    type: streamable_http
    name: "whatsapp"
    enabled: true
    uri: "https://mcp.green-api.com/mcp"
    headers: { "X-Instance-Id": "YOUR_X_INSTANCE_ID", "X-Api-Token": "YOUR_X_API_TOKEN" }
    env_keys: []
    envs: {}
    timeout: 300

3. Replace YOUR_X_INSTANCE_ID,YOUR_X_API_TOKEN with your own values.
4. Save the file and start a new Goose session.

Check it worked

Ask Goose: List the tools of whatsapp.

If it does not start

401 Unauthorized

The endpoint wants a sign-in or a key. Sign in when Goose asks, or check the value in place of the placeholder.

The server starts, but its tools fail

A YOUR_… placeholder is still in the config, or its value is wrong.

Nothing changes after a restart

The file is not valid YAML any more. Check that the entry is indented like the lines around it.
