Roo Code f1d69f02fb feat: migrate Roo-Code-Docs into monorepo as apps/docs
- Move all documentation files from standalone repo to apps/docs
- Create @roo-code/docs package with workspace dependencies
- Update docusaurus.config.ts editUrl to point to apps/docs path
- Fix @roo-code/types package.json to export built files instead of source
- Add missing dependencies (@docusaurus/plugin-content-docs, @docusaurus/theme-common, @easyops-cn/autocomplete.js)
- Update turbo.json to include docs build outputs
- Add comprehensive README with setup instructions
- Add .gitignore to exclude build artifacts
- Fix TypeScript error with inert attribute

This migration consolidates the docs into the main repository for better
integration and streamlined deployment via Vercel.

Note: GitHub Actions workflows for deployment will be added manually
due to repository permissions.

Model Context Protocol (MCP)

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a standard for extending Roo Code's capabilities by connecting to external tools and services. MCP servers provide additional tools and resources that help Roo accomplish tasks beyond its built-in capabilities, such as accessing databases, custom APIs, and specialized functionality.


MCP Documentation

This documentation is organized into several sections:

  • Using MCP in Roo Code - Comprehensive guide to configuring, enabling, and managing MCP servers with Roo Code. Includes server settings, tool approval, and troubleshooting.

  • What is MCP? - Clear explanation of the Model Context Protocol, its client-server architecture, and how it enables AI systems to interact with external tools.

  • STDIO, Streamable HTTP & SSE Transports - Detailed comparison of local (STDIO) and remote (Streamable HTTP & legacy SSE) transport mechanisms with deployment considerations for each approach.

  • MCP vs API - Analysis of the fundamental distinction between MCP and REST APIs, explaining how they operate at different layers of abstraction for AI systems.

  • Recommended MCP Servers - Curated list of tested and recommended MCP servers for Roo Code, including a setup guide for Context7.
