Install YouTrack (ymcp) in Goose

What you need first

Goose, installed.
Docker, which gives the docker command the server starts with.
Your own values for YOUR_YOUTRACK_URL,YOUR_YOUTRACK_LOGIN,YOUR_YOUTRACK_PASSWORD.

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:
  "ymcp":
    type: stdio
    name: "ymcp"
    enabled: true
    cmd: "docker"
    args: ["run", "-i", "--rm", "-e", "YOUTRACK_URL", "-e", "YOUTRACK_LOGIN", "-e", "YOUTRACK_PASSWORD", "docker.io/xlsoftware/ymcp:0.27.0", "serve"]
    env_keys: []
    envs: { "YOUTRACK_URL": "YOUR_YOUTRACK_URL", "YOUTRACK_LOGIN": "YOUR_YOUTRACK_LOGIN", "YOUTRACK_PASSWORD": "YOUR_YOUTRACK_PASSWORD" }
    timeout: 300

Replace YOUR_YOUTRACK_URL,YOUR_YOUTRACK_LOGIN,YOUR_YOUTRACK_PASSWORD with your own values.
Save the file and start a new Goose session.

Check it worked

Ask Goose: List the tools of ymcp.

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.
