Install Architecture Pattern MCP in Goose

What you need first

Goose, installed.
Docker, which gives the docker command the server starts with.
Your own values for YOUR_GENERATOR_API_KEY,YOUR_EMBEDDER_BASE_URL,YOUR_RERANKER_BASE_URL.

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:
  "architecture-pattern-mcp":
    type: stdio
    name: "architecture-pattern-mcp"
    enabled: true
    cmd: "docker"
    args: ["run", "-i", "--rm", "-e", "GENERATOR_API_KEY", "-e", "EMBEDDER_BASE_URL", "-e", "RERANKER_BASE_URL", "docker.io/olkowa/architecture-pattern-mcp:1.1.3", "--transport", "stdio"]
    env_keys: []
    envs: { "GENERATOR_API_KEY": "YOUR_GENERATOR_API_KEY", "EMBEDDER_BASE_URL": "YOUR_EMBEDDER_BASE_URL", "RERANKER_BASE_URL": "YOUR_RERANKER_BASE_URL" }
    timeout: 300

Replace YOUR_GENERATOR_API_KEY,YOUR_EMBEDDER_BASE_URL,YOUR_RERANKER_BASE_URL with your own values.
Save the file and start a new Goose session.

Check it worked

Ask Goose: List the tools of architecture-pattern-mcp.

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.
