Codename Goose

This guide shows how to integrate your Parley API key into Codename Goose using only the GUI, so you can immediately access chat and image generation features powered by Parley.

Install Codename Goose

The linked options on Mac and PC are the most likely matches for your work computer. Linux packages are available, too.

Install goose | gooseblock.github.io

Configure LLM Provider

• Open Goose Desktop.

• Navigate to Settings or Preferences (usually via a gear icon or menu bar).

• Find a section labeled Providers or LLM Provider Configuration.

• Select OpenAI as the LLM Provider and configure it.

• Request a Parley API key through the self-service portal, https://keys.theparley.org/.

• In the provider setup form, enter these and hit submit.

Enable Parley Models

• Still in the provider configuration section, locate a subsection for Models or Available Models.

• From the list (which Goose pulls via your key), identify and add the Parley models you intend to use. Example: gpt-5 (text / chat).

• Once added, a notification should appear to confirm that it has been configured.

Chat in Goose

• Return to Goose’s main window (e.g. Home or Chat tab).

• Start a new chat session. Goose will route requests via Parley using gpt-5 by default.

• Enter your prompt and receive responses as you would in any chat interface.

Optional: Add Extensions

• Select the Extensions menu in the left rail.

• Activate the features that you find useful for your task. These are also known as MCPs.
