local open source AI agent that automates complex developer tasks, is LLM-agnostic, integrates with MCP, and is available in both Desktop and CLI
It's the final day of the Advent of AI!
To close things out, we’re building a Wishlist MCP server that renders a live UI inside Goose using MCP-UI.
Huge thanks to everyone who participated in the Advent of AI this year! We hope you had as much fun as we did.

Code Mode Doesn't Replace MCP (Here's What It Actually Does)
Code Mode isn't killing MCP. It makes it better. A practical look at how Code Mode works with MCP to solve tool bloat and performance issues in agents.

Tired: copy-pasting context into AI tools.
Wired: pinging `@goose` from anywhere in your terminal and it already has context.
That's the Day 13 solution for Advent of AI.

We just shipped code mode, so goose can generate and execute code against MCP tools instead of loading every schema into context. This means fewer tokens, better control, and more scalable workflows.

Fun fact: goose supports MCP sampling.
This means MCP servers can delegate repeated AI decisions back to the client, without embedding or running their own models.
Day 12 of Advent of AI shows it in action.

Today's @opensource.block.xyz advent of AI task was quite interesting!
I previously tried to vibe code together a quick app that let me have multiple LLMs think separately, with a final orchestrator putting the pieces together and coming up with a response, but this was much easier in Goose! 🪿

Here's my @opensource.block.xyz Day #10!
Made a custom recipe that:
→ Takes in different paramaters for context for the custom event poster
→ Creates the poster in a single HTML file
→ Uses shot-scraper CLI to produce a PNG version of the poster as well.
Look at this demo 👀 (screenshot below)
