Roo Automation

I'd like to be able to chat with Roo from another application. Is that currently possible? Does Roo expose any commands that another extension could invoke, or is there another mechanism anyone would suggest?

Yes, you can interact with Roo from another application using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). MCP is designed to facilitate communication between Roo and external applications, allowing you to connect to various tools and services, such as databases and custom APIs. The Roo Code repository includes an extension API that can be used for programmatic control, which was initially developed for running evaluations and benchmarks but can be extended for other needs ^[1][2].

Yeah thanks bot but this isn't true. Roo can interact with MCP, but you can't interact with Roo from an external service using MCP.

Depends if the external application has MCP as a kind of API
