Goose/How To/Use Mise to Set AWS Bedrock Env Vars for Desktop App

• How To Launch Goose/Desktop with an AWS/Profile Using a mise/Task

  • Goal

    • Launch Goose Desktop with an AWS_PROFILE env var set so that Bedrock models are accessible.

  • Preconditions

    • Goose Desktop is installed in /Applications/Goose.app
    • AWS_PROFILE is configured in ~/.aws/config and credentials are valid
    • Mise is installed and properly configured for task execution

  • Procedure

    • 1. Define the task in mise.toml

      • Add this to your mise.toml (project or global):
      • toml

        [tasks.goose]
        env = { AWS_PROFILE = "my-bedrock-profile" }
        run = "/Applications/Goose.app/Contents/MacOS/Goose"
        description = "Launch Goose Desktop with AWS_PROFILE set"

      • Replace "my-bedrock-profile" with your actual profile name.

    • 2. Run the task

      • From your shell:
      • bash

        mise run goose

      • This will start Goose with the correct AWS environment in scope.

  • Troubleshooting

    • If Goose fails to connect to Bedrock:
      • Make sure aws sts get-caller-identity works with the same profile.
      • Confirm Goose Desktop is closed before launching via Mise.
      • Check that Goose sees the profile by viewing the "provider" tab.
