Install Vmanomaly in Goose
What you need first
- Goose, installed.
- Docker, which
gives the
dockercommand the server starts with. - Your own value for
YOUR_VMANOMALY_ENDPOINT.
Steps
- Open
~/.config/goose/config.yaml. On Windows it is%APPDATA%\Block\goose\config\config.yaml. - Add this entry. If the file already has
extensions, add only the entry inside it.
extensions:
"mcp-vmanomaly":
type: stdio
name: "mcp-vmanomaly"
enabled: true
cmd: "docker"
args: ["run", "-i", "--rm", "-e", "VMANOMALY_ENDPOINT", "ghcr.io/victoriametrics/mcp-vmanomaly:0.5.1"]
env_keys: []
envs: { "VMANOMALY_ENDPOINT": "YOUR_VMANOMALY_ENDPOINT" }
timeout: 300 - Replace
YOUR_VMANOMALY_ENDPOINTwith your own value. - Save the file and start a new Goose session.
Check it worked
Ask Goose: List the tools of mcp-vmanomaly.
If it does not start
- Cannot connect to the Docker daemon
- Docker is not running. Start it, then restart Goose.
- 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.
