Adds granular per-mode control over which MCP servers and tools are available, replacing the previous all-or-nothing 'mcp' group behavior.
Schema (packages/types/src/mode.ts): - Add mcpServerFilterSchema with disabled/allowedTools/disabledTools - Add mcpDefaultPolicy ('allow'|'deny') for deny-by-default support - Add mcpGroupOptionsSchema extending group options for MCP tuples - Add superRefine validation rejecting MCP options on non-mcp groups
Core filtering (src/utils/mcp-filter.ts): - getMcpFilterForMode() resolves MCP config for a mode - isMcpServerAllowedForMode() checks server access with policy - isMcpToolAllowedForMode() checks tool access with allowlist/blocklist - Inlined getGroupName to avoid vscode import chain (ISSUE-16)
Prerequisite fix (src/utils/mcp-name.ts): - Fix normalizeForComparison regex: /[-\s]+/g -> /[-\s]/g (ISSUE-10) - Add toLowerCase() for case-insensitive matching
Prompt-level filtering: - filter-tools-for-mode.ts: Filter MCP tools from system prompt - build-tools.ts: Filter MCP tools for Gemini native function calling - ISSUE-19: Document native tools remain unfiltered for Gemini
Execution-time guards: - validateToolUse.ts: Replace blanket MCP allow with filter checks - Server-level guard for use_mcp_tool/access_mcp_resource - Tool-level guard for dynamic mcp--server--tool names - ISSUE-21: Tool-level check for use_mcp_tool when tool_name available - presentAssistantMessage.ts mcp_tool_use: Add filter using cline.taskMode - ISSUE-17: validateToolUse call uses cline.taskMode (frozen at task start) instead of state.mode (live UI mode) - ISSUE-20: Remove dead ?? defaultModeSlug fallback
Defense-in-depth: - UseMcpToolTool.execute(): Server + tool level filter before execution - AccessMcpResourceTool.execute(): Server level filter before execution - FLAG-E: Document 10-second TTL cache in CustomModesManager
UI fix (webview-ui): - ModesView.tsx: Cache group tuple options on toggle-off, restore on toggle-on to prevent MCP config data loss (ISSUE-9/ISSUE-13) - Extract pure caching functions to groupOptionsCache.ts

Local Setup & Development
- Clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/RooCodeInc/Roo-Code.git
- Install dependencies:
pnpm install
- Run the extension:
There are several ways to run the Roo Code extension:
Development Mode (F5)
For active development, use VSCode's built-in debugging:
Press F5 (or go to Run → Start Debugging) in VSCode. This will open a new VSCode window with the Roo Code extension running.
- Changes to the webview will appear immediately.
- Changes to the core extension will also hot reload automatically.
Automated VSIX Installation
To build and install the extension as a VSIX package directly into VSCode:
pnpm install:vsix [-y] [--editor=<command>]
This command will:
- Ask which editor command to use (code/cursor/code-insiders) - defaults to 'code'
- Uninstall any existing version of the extension.
- Build the latest VSIX package.
- Install the newly built VSIX.
- Prompt you to restart VS Code for changes to take effect.
Options:
-y: Skip all confirmation prompts and use defaults--editor=<command>: Specify the editor command (e.g.,--editor=cursoror--editor=code-insiders)
Manual VSIX Installation
If you prefer to install the VSIX package manually:
- First, build the VSIX package:
pnpm vsix - A
.vsixfile will be generated in thebin/directory (e.g.,bin/roo-cline-<version>.vsix). - Install it manually using the VSCode CLI:
code --install-extension bin/roo-cline-<version>.vsix
