Install Doc_Conv — Document to Markdown in Goose

What you need first

  • Goose, installed.
  • uv, which gives the uvx command the server starts with.

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:
  "docconv-mcp":
    type: stdio
    name: "docconv-mcp"
    enabled: true
    cmd: "uvx"
    args: ["docconv-mcp==1.0.2"]
    env_keys: []
    envs: {}
    timeout: 300
  1. Save the file and start a new Goose session.

Check it worked

Ask Goose: List the tools of docconv-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.
Nothing changes after a restart
The file is not valid YAML any more. Check that the entry is indented like the lines around it.
