Codename Goose

Goose is an advanced AI agent framework designed to operate seamlessly on your local machine—available both as a CLI tool and a desktop app. Created by Block under the Apache‑2.0 license, it allows developers to define and execute multi-step engineering tasks autonomously: generating code, running tests, debugging, interacting with APIs, managing files, and more . Its modular design supports any LLM via the Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling customization for performance and cost. Goose leads with a flexible UI/UX, integrations with MCP servers, and support for agent “recipes,” enabling diverse workflows for prototyping, maintenance, and full-stack tasks .
