Roo Code Custom Mode Editor MCP Server

# roo-code-custom-mode-editor-mcp-server An MCP server that knows how to edit the Roo Code custom modes file Avoids having to overwrite the `.roomodes` file using file writes or edit the json with unreliable diffs. The MCP server exposes tools to: * List all custom modes * Create a new custom mode * Get the fields of a custom mode ( "slug","name", "roleDefinition", "customInstructions", "groups") * Put and overwrite any one or more fields of a custom mode. Fields are: - slug : short string - name : short string - roleDefinition : long string - customInstructions : long string - groups : array of short strings ## Usage This server is located at https://github.com/raymondlowe/roo-code-custom-mode-editor-mcp-server and can be run using the following command: ```bash npx https://github.com/raymondlowe/roo-code-custom-mode-editor-mcp-server ``` ## MCP Configuration To use with Roo Code, add the server config to the MCP settings file: ```json { "mcpServers": { "roo-code-custom-mode-editor": { "command": "node", "args": [ "/path/to/roo-code-custom-mode-editor-mcp-server/build/index.js" ], "disabled": false, "alwaysAllow": [] } } } ``` ## Development Install dependencies: ```bash npm install ``` Build the server: ```bash npm run build ``` For development with auto-rebuild: ```bash npm run watch ``` ### Debugging Since MCP servers communicate over stdio, debugging can be challenging. We recommend using the [MCP Inspector](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/inspector), which is available as a package script: ```bash npm run inspector ``` The Inspector will provide a URL to access debugging tools in your browser. ## Tools ### list_custom_modes Lists all custom modes in the `.roomodes` file. ### create_custom_mode Creates a new custom mode with the specified fields.
