Install Garmin Workouts MCP in Goose

What you need first

• Goose, installed.
• Docker, which gives the docker command the server starts with.
• Your own values for YOUR_GARMIN_EMAIL,YOUR_GARMIN_PASSWORD.

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:
  "garmin-workouts-mcp":
    type: stdio
    name: "garmin-workouts-mcp"
    enabled: true
    cmd: "docker"
    args: ["run", "-i", "--rm", "-e", "GARMIN_EMAIL", "-e", "GARMIN_PASSWORD", "ghcr.io/pranciskus/garmin-workouts-mcp:0.1.2"]
    env_keys: []
    envs: { "GARMIN_EMAIL": "YOUR_GARMIN_EMAIL", "GARMIN_PASSWORD": "YOUR_GARMIN_PASSWORD" }
    timeout: 300

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

Check it worked

Ask Goose: List the tools of garmin-workouts-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.
