Roo Code

Connect Roo Code to Relay

Give Roo Code a memory it shares with your other AIs. Plans, progress and reviews saved in Roo Code can be picked up by any of the 25 AI tools Relay works with, and the other way round. It takes about two minutes.

What you need
Free VS Code extension
How it connects
One command or config entry (MCP)

1. Get your connection link

  1. Sign in to Relay with Google. It's free during the beta.
  2. Open Integrations, click Set up on Roo Code, then Generate connection URL. Copy it straight away: it's shown only once.
  3. Below, YOUR-KEY stands for your link. The dashboard shows the same steps with your link already filled in.

2. Add Relay to Roo Code

  1. In VS Code, open Roo Code → MCP Servers → Edit Global MCP (or .roo/mcp.json in a project) and add (the type must be streamable-http):
    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "relay": {
          "type": "streamable-http",
          "url": "https://mcp.relaymemory.app/mcp/YOUR-KEY"
        }
      }
    }
  2. Save. Relay should appear with a green dot in Roo's MCP list.

3. Test it

Send this in Roo Code. It should answer from your Relay memory:

Pick up my latest plan from Relay.

Make it save on its own

  1. In a Roo Code session, send this once:
    In every conversation, store our work in Relay: save new plans, add progress updates as we go, and keep it up to date.
  2. Roo Code asks permission to use Relay. Choose Allow always, so it saves as you work. Deleting always asks you first.
  3. To keep it on in new sessions, add the same sentence to your project's instructions file (for example AGENTS.md).

Using Relay in Roo Code every day

  • Once added, Relay loads in every session. There's nothing to switch on.
  • When it asks to run a Relay tool, approve it. Most tools let you always allow it, so it stops asking.
  • Make it automatic: add this line to your project's instructions file (for example AGENTS.md), and it checks Relay on its own.
    At the start of a task, check Relay for the latest plan for this project. When you finish, add a progress update to Relay.

Things to say in Roo Code:

Save this plan to Relay for the project "My project".
Pick up my latest plan from Relay and continue it.
Add a progress update to Relay for this work.
Review the latest work in Relay and add your review.
Remember in Relay that I prefer short answers.
What's waiting for me in Relay?
Roo Code uses Relay's cloud endpoint, so it works even when Relay isn't running on your PC.
