JetBrains IDE with goose on remote host?

[erdalkaraca]

Is it possible to make a JetBrains IDE (PyCharm) running on windows connect to a goose installed on a remote linux server?
Or connect to the linux server via ssh and configure goose to connect to a remote windows PyCharm IDE?
I have installed goose and the mcp server plugin in PyCharm but it seems goose is searching locally for the IDE while it is on a remote windows machine.

When you see Goose "searching locally for the IDE", this suggests:

• The MCP client is configured to look for localhost connections by default
• You'll need to modify the connection settings to point to the correct network address

For your case, there are two potential approaches:

Option 1: Remote Goose -> Local PyCharm

1. Install Goose on your Linux server
2. Configure the MCP server in PyCharm to listen on a network interface (not just localhost)
3. Set up proper network routing/firewall rules to allow the connection
4. Configure Goose to connect to PyCharm's MCP server using the Windows machine's network address

Option 2: Local Goose -> Remote PyCharm

1. Install Goose on your Windows machine where PyCharm is running
2. Configure SSH port forwarding to tunnel the MCP connection
3. This might be simpler as PyCharm's MCP server typically listens on localhost
