:::note
These steps follow the client's own MCP documentation, linked in Sources below. looot has not tested them in this client yet. If a step fails, tell us on the [support page](/support).
:::

Goose is Block's open-source agent. It calls MCP servers extensions. A remote one is a "Remote Extension (Streamable HTTP)".

Before you start you need a looot account. The runs you make spend the organization's balance, so
top up before your first paid run. See [Before your first run](/money#before-your-first-run).

## Steps

1. Desktop: open **Settings, Extensions** and click **Add custom extension**. Set the type to Streamable HTTP, the name to `looot`, and the endpoint to `https://api.looot.ai/mcp`.
2. CLI: run `goose configure`, choose **Add Extension**, then **Remote Extension (Streamable HTTP)**. Enter the name `looot` and the endpoint `https://api.looot.ai/mcp`.
3. Start a session with the extension enabled.

The server URL is `https://api.looot.ai/mcp`.

## Sign-in

Goose's extension docs show a URL and optional headers, not a browser sign-in. If the server answers 401, create an agent token in [Settings](https://looot.ai/settings) and add it as an `Authorization: Bearer <token>` header in the extension, or bridge the sign-in with [mcp-remote](/connect/mcp-remote). Keep the token out of shared config.

## Check it works

Ask Goose to call [`balance`](/mcp-tools/balance) or [`catalog_overview`](/mcp-tools/catalog-overview). Both are free. A working connection answers
with your available balance, or the catalog's categories and job counts.

## A first prompt to try

```text
Ask looot for my balance, then search its catalog for a tool that finds a work email from a name and company domain, and show me the price before running anything.
```

## Troubleshooting

- Timeout on slow runs: raise the extension timeout (the CLI prompt asks for one).
- Wrong type: choose Streamable HTTP, not SSE.
- Extension off: enable it for the session in **Settings, Extensions**.
- Still stuck: see [Troubleshooting](/connect/troubleshooting).

## What you see when you connect

If the client uses browser sign-in, it opens looot.ai and shows the consent page: which organization to bill,
which scopes to grant and how long to stay connected. See [The consent page](/connect#the-consent-page).
