Red Hat has released versions 10.2 and 9.8 of Enterprise Linux. The main novelty is goose, an optional artificial intelligence tool integrated through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This assistant offers direct help on the command line, aimed at advanced users, and comes with improvements in visual output with refreshed colors.
goose and MCP: Direct AI assistance in the shell 🧠
The integration of goose with MCP allows the assistant to understand the context of the terminal session. It is not a generic chatbot: it analyzes command history, open files, and active processes to suggest actions or debug errors. It works as a plugin that can be invoked without leaving the shell. The color improvements in standard output make it easier to read logs and results, reducing eye strain during long sessions.
Finally, someone understands us when we type without looking 😅
goose promises to end those moments of loneliness in front of an empty prompt. Now, instead of cursing the kernel, you can receive suggestions from a digital entity that never gets tired. Of course, as long as you don't ask it to explain why your script broke the production server at 3 AM. For that, it's better to have coffee on hand and a VPN.
