Agent Update

Roo Code → Agent Update

A VS Code extension forked from Cline. It runs a coding agent across several purpose-built modes.

Roo Code talks to Agent Update over MCP. The server is https://api.tryagentupdate.com/v1/mcp, the transport is Streamable HTTP, and the credential is one header.

Where it goes: mcp_settings.json in globalStorage under rooveterinaryinc.roo-cline/settings/ (MCP panel → "Edit Global MCP"), or .roo/mcp.json per project

Setup

mcp_settings.json (global) or .roo/mcp.json (project)
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agent-update": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "https://api.tryagentupdate.com/v1/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer au_live_..." },
      "alwaysAllow": [],
      "disabled": false
    }
  }
}

Before you file a bug

The hyphenated streamable-http is required. Roo does not infer the transport from url (#9118 is open). ${env:VAR} is documented only for stdio args, and is reported broken even there (#4014), so write the token literally and gitignore .roo/mcp.json. The auto-approve field is alwaysAllow here but autoApprove in Cline, so do not copy one config into the other. timeout is in seconds (1–3600).

Check it worked

Ask the agent to text you. A 401 means the token is wrong, or the word Bearer is in there twice. No tool at all means the transport string is wrong. Both are covered in troubleshooting.

Next

The five tools and their arguments are on the MCP page. The same tools over plain HTTP are on the REST page. Every other tool is on the docs index.
