trovex for Roo Code

Roo Code supports remote streamable-HTTP MCP servers natively. Point it at trovex and the agent gets one canonical doc per query, about 60% fewer tokens.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "trovex": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "http://localhost:8765/mcp"
    }
  }
}

trovex is in private beta — request access first; the steps below work once you're in.

Setup, step by step

1. Index your repo.
   $ uv run trovex index /path/to/repo
2. Start trovex. It serves MCP over HTTP at http://localhost:8765/mcp.
   $ uv run trovex serve
3. Open Roo's MCP settings and add the snippet above to mcp_settings.json. Roo accepts the streamable-http transport with a url (no command/args needed for a remote server).
4. Enable it. Toggle trovex on in the MCP panel; its trovex tool is now available to the agent.

Roo's MCP transport fields move between releases — if it doesn't connect, check Roo Code's current MCP transport docs.

Why Roo Code users want it

Roo reads files directly, which is exactly what burns tokens when project knowledge is spread across many markdown docs. trovex gives Roo the one canonical doc that answers a query — section-level, with a freshness marker — so it stops opening several files to find the current one. About 60% fewer tokens per lookup, plus a shared write path so what Roo learns is saved once and read back.
