Overview
What is Goose FM?
Goose FM is a demonstration MCP (Model Context Protocol) server, built for a tech talk, that enables an AI assistant to tune into live radio stations using an rtl‑sdr dongle and antenna and play them through speakers.
How to use Goose FM?
Run the stdio server with nix run github:mccartykim/goose_fm. To add it to Claude Desktop, include the provided "GooseFM" entry in your Claude configuration (command: nix, args: ["run", "github:mccartykim/goose_fm"]). Note that the Nix flake does not properly encapsulate the required sox and rtl_fm dependencies.

Frequently asked questions
How do I run Goose FM?
Use the command `nix run github:mccartykim/goose_fm`. To integrate with Claude Desktop, add the configuration shown in the README.
What hardware and software are required?
An rtl‑sdr dongle and antenna are needed for the radio signal. The server depends on `sox` and `rtl_fm`, which the Nix flake currently does not fully encapsulate.
Is Goose FM production‑ready?
No, it is a simple demonstration for a tech talk and is not intended for production use.
Why does it not work out‑of‑the‑box with Nix?
The Nix flake does not properly encapsulate the `sox` and `rtl_fm` dependencies, so those tools must be installed separately or the flake must be adapted.
