:::tip Quick Install
<Tabs groupId="interface">
<TabItem value="ui" label="goose Desktop" default>
Launch the installer
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="cli" label="goose CLI">
Add a Remote Extension (Streaming HTTP) extension type with:
Endpoint URL
https://excalidraw-mcp-app.vercel.app/mcp
These steps configure the Remote MCP Server. For other deployment options, see the Excalidraw MCP App documentation.
<Tabs groupId="interface"> <TabItem value="ui" label="goose Desktop" default> <GooseDesktopInstaller extensionId="Excalidraw" extensionName="Excalidraw MCP App" description="Excalidraw MCP App for diagramming" type="http" url="https://excalidraw-mcp-app.vercel.app/mcp" envVars={[]} /> </TabItem> <TabItem value="cli" label="goose CLI"> <CLIExtensionInstructions name="Excalidraw" description="Excalidraw MCP App for diagramming" type="http" url="https://excalidraw-mcp-app.vercel.app/mcp" timeout={300} /> </TabItem> </Tabs>In this example, we use the Excalidraw MCP App to have Goose visualize its own automation pipeline in real time. This demonstrates how Goose can connect to live tools, reason about workflows, and generate structured diagrams element by element.
Hey Goose review my video automation recipe and create a visual of the automation pipeline for me. I want clean lines and clear labels.
