Heads up -- We are just about to add a few new tools to the MCP server (e.g. acryldata/mcp-server-datahub#55) so I am making some suggestions to include coverage.
I'm also going to provide some suggestions about how to improve storytelling + use case examples..

One final question: Is there a place to define recipes that are shown within Goose specifically? Or does that happen automagically? |
we have a recipe cookbook here if you want the general public to access your recipes and have it listed on our site -- https://block.github.io/goose/recipes instructions to do so here: https://github.com/block/goose/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING_RECIPES.md but other recipes are typically only accessible on your local machine or if you configured/pointed them to a specific repo @jjoyce0510 |
