How to Run Your Spring Boot Application with Goose

Step 1: Create JAR File

Build your Spring Boot application using:

./gradlew clean build

The JAR will be located in target/.

Step 2: Install and Set Up Goose

Follow the official Goose documentation to install and configure the AI Agent.

Running Goose with WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux)

If you're using WSL and face issues running Goose sessions, follow these steps:

1. Create a Shell Script

Inside your WSL terminal, create a file named run-extension.sh:

nano run-extension.sh

Paste the following content:

#!/bin/bash
java -jar "FULL_PATH_OF_JAR_FILE/target/mcp_feature-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar"

Replace FULL_PATH_OF_JAR_FILE with the actual path to your JAR file.

2. Ensure Java is Installed in WSL

If you encounter issues related to Java, ensure JDK is installed:

java -version

If not installed, you can install OpenJDK via:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install openjdk-21-jdk

3. Make the Script Executable

chmod +x run-extension.sh

4. Start Goose Session with Your Extension

goose session --with-extension="./run-extension.sh"

You're now ready to run your Spring Boot application integrated with MCP and the Goose AI Agent! 🧠🚀
