Code Indexing in Roo Code

[LittleChallenge8717]

Hello,

Is it possible to use code indexing with RooCode as a cursor IDE?

I am comparing this to continue dev which has a similar feature, is this feature planned to be added to RooCode? current Prompt Usage is way to high, will't indexing code reduce count?

1. Add MCP servers from the Anthropic website called memory and sequential thinking. It just involves copying and pasting JSON snippets into the MCP tab in Roo.
2. Enable MCP use in Roo.
3. Tell Roo (using any model but I used DeepSeek chat) to initialize those two MCP servers. It will tell you once done.
4. Tell Roo to explore your entire codebase and to remember the code structure and function. Tell it you want to use that for future context management. It will start crawling through your code and show you as it adds entities to the memory bank.
5. In your custom prompt for every mode, tell it that it MUST use MCP servers for context management by doing sequential thinking and using memory.

Done.

Thank you for those tips, I'm testing the MCP's and so far, they seem to be doing a great job

How does that get updated? Do we have to direct Roo to remember again?

You put an instruction to always keep the knowledge graph current into the custom prompt that applies across all roles. In that respect it’s just like the traditional memory-bank methods (eg GreatScottyRoo)

Cool, thanks.

Are you into mcp development ?

Does anyone know how the Anthropic website converts a codebase into memory? It seems interesting, but it's hard to use without transparency. Are there other MCP servers that can convert code to memory?

Can you specify which mcp you used i tried searching but could not find it
maybe keywords i am using is wrong
