Install node-red-dev-mcp-server in Goose
What you need first
- Goose, installed.
- Node.js, which
gives the
npxcommand the server starts with.
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:
"node-red-mcp-server-w2t21h":
type: stdio
name: "node-red-mcp-server-w2t21h"
enabled: true
cmd: "npx"
args: ["-y", "node-red-dev-mcp-server"]
env_keys: []
envs: {}
timeout: 300 - Save the file and start a new Goose session.
Check it worked
Ask Goose: List the tools of node-red-mcp-server-w2t21h.
If it does not start
- spawn npx ENOENT
- Node.js is not on the PATH that Goose sees. Install it, or write the
full path of
npxin 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.
