## Add Charming

1. In Goose, open **Settings → Extensions**.
2. Click **Add Extension**.
3. Paste this URL:

   ```text
   https://charm.ing/mcp
   ```

4. Approve the browser sign-in screen.

Goose now has the Charming tools. Apps render inside the conversation.

## Start building

Ask for the app you need in plain words. For example:

```text
Build a team stand-up app where people can add updates and mark blockers.
```

## Check the connection

Ask Goose to list the Charming tools. If none appear, check the server URL and sign in again.

## Build without MCP

MCP is the shortest path here. If MCP is unavailable, or you would rather not add a server, any agent that can make HTTP requests builds the same apps through Charming's HTTP API. See [Build over the HTTP API](../guides/build-over-the-http-api).

Paste this instead of adding the MCP server:

```text
Connect me to Charming and help me build my first app. Use Charming's
HTTP API. Ask before starting account pairing, wait for me to approve
it, then read https://charm.ing/docs/build-http.md and ask me what I
want to build.
```

Your agent shows a pairing link and a short code. Open the link, enter the code if asked, and approve the connection. Both paths build the same apps in the same account, so pick one.
