  "mcpServers": {
    "codex-sms-verification": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [

Remote server. This uses the mcp-remote bridge so Goose can reach the hosted endpoint. Add it to ~/.config/goose/config.yaml.

Open ~/.config/goose/config.yaml and add the block above (merge into any existing mcpServers).
Provide any required API keys/credentials as environment variables.
