+title: Code Mode Extension
+description: Execute JavaScript code to interact with multiple MCP tools
+---
+
+import Tabs from '@theme/Tabs';
+import TabItem from '@theme/TabItem';
+import { PlatformExtensionNote } from '@site/src/components/PlatformExtensionNote';
+import GooseBuiltinInstaller from '@site/src/components/GooseBuiltinInstaller';
+
+The Code Mode extension enables [Code Mode](/docs/guides/managing-tools/code-mode), a programmatic approach for interacting with MCP tools.
+
+The Code Mode extension is an MCP server that exposes three meta-tools. When Code Mode is enabled, the LLM writes JavaScript code that goose executes using a Deno-based runtime called [Port of Context](https://github.com/AdrianCole/pctx) to discover tools, learn their interfaces, and call them programmatically.
+
+This helps manage context window usage more efficiently when multiple extensions are enabled and when performing workflows with multiple tool calls.
+
+## Configuration
+
+<PlatformExtensionNote defaultEnabled={false} />
+
+<Tabs groupId="interface">
+  <TabItem value="ui" label="goose Desktop" default>
+  <GooseBuiltinInstaller
+    extensionName="Code Mode"
+    description="Execute JavaScript code to interact with MCP tools efficiently"
+  />
+  </TabItem>
+  <TabItem value="cli" label="goose CLI">
+
+  1. Run the `configure` command:
+  ```sh
+  goose configure
+  ```
+
+  2. Choose to `Toggle Extensions`
+  ```sh
+  ┌   goose-configure 
+  │
+  ◇  What would you like to configure?
+  │  Toggle Extensions 
+  │
+  ◆  Enable extensions: (use "space" to toggle and "enter" to submit)
+  // highlight-start    
+  │  ● code_execution
+  // highlight-end  
+  └  Extension settings updated successfully
+  ```
+  </TabItem>
+</Tabs>
+
+## Example Usage
+
+In this example, we'll ask goose to compile a report that requires multiple tool calls.
+
+### goose Prompt
+
+```
+Create a LOG.md file with the current git branch, last 3 commits, and the version from package.json
+```
+
+### goose Output
+
+:::note Desktop
+I'll help you create a LOG.md file with the git branch, last 3 commits, and version from package.json. Let me gather all this information in one operation.
+
+`Execute Code code: import { shell, text_editor } from "developer" ...`
+
+Let me check the package.json path first:
+
+`Execute Code code: import { shell, text_editor } from "developer" ...`
+
+Perfect! I've created the **LOG.md** file with:
+
+- ✅ **Current git branch**
+- ✅ **Last 3 commits** (with hash, message, author, and relative time)
+- ✅ **Version** from ui/desktop/package.json
+
+The file has been saved to the root directory as `LOG.md`.
