Goose with Infercom - EU Sovereign AI Coding

Goose is an open-source AI coding assistant from Block (Square). It runs in your terminal and can autonomously write code, run commands, and manage files.

Setup time: ~5 minutes

Prerequisites

macOS with Homebrew, or Linux
Infercom API key

Installation

brew install block-goose-cli

Verify installation:

goose --version

Configuration

Option 1: Custom Provider (Recommended)

Create a custom provider file for Infercom.

Step 1: Create Provider Directory

mkdir -p ~/.config/goose/custom_providers

Step 2: Create Provider File

Create ~/.config/goose/custom_providers/infercom.json:

{
  "id": "infercom",
  "name": "Infercom (EU Sovereign)",
  "description": "EU sovereign AI inference",
  "api_format": "openai",
  "base_url": "https://api.infercom.ai/v1",
  "env_api_key": "INFERCOM_API_KEY",
  "default_model": "MiniMax-M2.7",
  "models": [
    {
      "id": "MiniMax-M2.7",
      "display_name": "MiniMax M2.7 (EU)",
      "context_window": 192000,
      "supports_tool_calling": true
    }
  ]
}

Step 3: Set API Key

export INFERCOM_API_KEY="your-infercom-api-key"

Add to your shell profile (~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc) for persistence.

Step 4: Configure Goose

goose configure

Select Configure Providers and choose Infercom.

Option 2: OpenAI Compatible

Use the built-in OpenAI provider with custom endpoint:

export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-infercom-api-key"
export OPENAI_HOST="https://api.infercom.ai/v1"

Then run goose configure and select OpenAI.

Model

Use MiniMax-M2.7 - optimized for agentic coding with 192K context and tool calling support.

Goose relies heavily on tool calling. MiniMax-M2.7 fully supports this.
