Configuring Goose CLI

May 13, 2026 ยท View on GitHub

See the Goose quickstart for installing the Goose CLI itself.

Once installed:

  1. Run the configuration command:

    goose configure
    
  2. Follow the interactive prompts:

    • Select Add extension
    • Choose Command-line Extension
    • Enter mcp-confluent as the extension name
    • Choose one of the following invocation forms:
    Option 1: Run from source
    node /path/to/confluent-mcp-server/dist/index.js --config /path/to/confluent-mcp-server/config.yaml
    
    Option 2: Run from npx
    npx -y @confluentinc/mcp-confluent --config /path/to/confluent-mcp-server/config.yaml
    

    Replace /path/to/confluent-mcp-server/ with the actual path where you've installed this MCP server.

See CONFIGURATION.md for what to put in config.yaml. Legacy env-var configuration (-e /path/to/config.env) still works during the deprecation window.
