Busabase for Goose

Connect Goose to Busabase

Block's open-source terminal agent, where MCP servers are called "extensions".

Paste this into Goose

Read https://busabase.com/SETUP_SKILL.md and set up Busabase for me. Follow it through to the end, then confirm the connection works.

Busabase
Agent Skill
A Base of posts in a Busabase workspace, with records, views, and agent prompts

Give your agent this one instruction

You end up with more than a connector: the busabase skill carries the whole change-request workflow, the CLI, and the full API — available in every future session without re-pasting anything.

Asks first

Busabase Cloud or Personal Desktop — your call, before anything happens.

Connects

Signs you in and stores the credential itself. No API key to copy by hand.

Seeds a Base

Creates and fills your first Base, so the workspace is not an empty screen.

Installs the skills

busabase and busabase-app-creator become permanent, for every session after this.

Prefer a connector?

If you would rather wire Busabase in as MCP tools than let the agent install a skill, use the server URL below.

Run this
goose configure
# → Add Extension → Remote Extension (Streamable HTTP)
# → name: busabase
# → URI: https://busabase.com/api/mcp

Run the interactive configurator:

goose configure

Choose Add Extension → Remote Extension (Streamable HTTP), name it busabase, and paste https://busabase.com/api/mcp as the URI.

This writes into ~/.config/goose/config.yaml (Windows: %APPDATA%\Block\goose\config\config.yaml) with type: streamable_http and a uri field. Add an Authorization: Bearer <key> header there if your instance needs one, then ask Goose to call auth_verify.

Known gotchas

Goose is the odd one out on naming: the field is `uri`, not `url`, and the transport is `streamable_http` with an underscore. Copying another client's snippet verbatim will not work.

These stepsFrom official docsNo check date recorded

Written from this agent's own documentation. We have not re-run every step on a real machine, so check the linked docs if a command has changed.

Let your agent do the setup

One instruction, one authorization, and every change it makes afterwards carries a message and a diff you can check or revert.
