Use Foldr with Roo Code (MCP)
Roo Code is a community fork of Cline focused on multi-mode agents (Architect, Code, Ask, Debug). It shares Cline's MCP implementation and UI for managing servers. Foldr slots in as the "ship output" tool across every mode — Roo can upload architecture diagrams, debug logs, or test reports and hand back a URL.
Installation
Add the Foldr MCP server to Roo Code with the snippet below. Replace fs_live_... with an API key from foldr.space/developers.
{
"mcpServers": {
"foldr": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@foldr/mcp-server"],
"env": { "FOLDR_API_KEY": "fs_live_..." }
}
}
}Setup tip: Open Roo Code → MCP Servers tab → Edit Global MCP Settings.

Roo Code + Foldr FAQ
How do I install the Foldr MCP server in Roo Code?
Open Roo Code's MCP configuration (the JSON settings file) and paste the config block shown above. Set FOLDR_API_KEY to a key you create at foldr.space/api-keys. Restart Roo Code if it doesn't hot-reload.
Which Foldr plan do I need to use the MCP integration with Roo Code?
The Foldr MCP server is available on every paid plan (Pro from $5/mo and Developer tier for API-heavy usage). The free tier can generate temporary 7-day links; for permanent storage, a Pro plan or Foldr Space is required.
I set the key but Roo Code says the Foldr tool isn't available — what's wrong?
The two most common issues: (1) Roo Code wasn't restarted after editing the config — most MCP hosts need a restart to pick up new servers. (2) Your API key is missing the `mcp:invoke` scope. Regenerate a key at foldr.space/api-keys with full scope and retry.
Can Roo Code upload files directly to Foldr, or just generate URLs?
Roo Code can do both. The MCP server exposes tools for `upload_file` (takes a local path or base64 blob), `shorten_url`, and `create_bio_page`. Any file Roo Code can read from disk can be uploaded.
Is the Foldr MCP integration with Roo Code production-ready?
Foldr's MCP server is stable and used in production. Roo Code's MCP support is currently stable and generally available. We pin to stable SDK versions and publish changelog entries for every breaking change.
