Install Google Tasks MCP Server in Goose

What you need first

• Goose, installed.
• uv, which gives the uvx command the server starts with.
• Your own values for YOUR_GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID,YOUR_GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET,YOUR_GOOGLE_REDIRECT_URI.

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:
  "google-tasks-mcp":
    type: stdio
    name: "google-tasks-mcp"
    enabled: true
    cmd: "uvx"
    args: ["google-tasks-mcp==0.4.0"]
    env_keys: []
    envs: { "GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID": "YOUR_GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID", "GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET": "YOUR_GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET", "GOOGLE_REDIRECT_URI": "YOUR_GOOGLE_REDIRECT_URI" }
    timeout: 300

3. Replace YOUR_GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID,YOUR_GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET,YOUR_GOOGLE_REDIRECT_URI with your own values.
4. Save the file and start a new Goose session.

Check it worked

Ask Goose: List the tools of google-tasks-mcp.

If it does not start

spawn uvx ENOENT

uv is not on the PATH that Goose sees. Install it, or write the full path of uvx in the config.

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.
