Roo Code Memory Bank MCP Server
Roo Code memory-bank files management via structured MCP tool interactions.
Data last scanned last week · Reviewed last month
Overview
This server implements the Roo Code Memory Bank system, enabling AI assistants to persist project context across separate sessions. It provides tools to initialize a structured memory-bank directory and generate standard markdown files such as productContext.md and activeContext.md. Once initialized, the server facilitates ongoing context maintenance by allowing assistants to read file contents or append timestamped updates to specific memory-bank files. It is designed to work within environments like Cline that support standard MCP server configurations.
Our verdict
This repository carries a high-risk security score of 18/100, primarily due to it being an unverified community project that has not received any updates or commits in over 458 days. Given the lack of recent maintenance and editorial review, it should be treated as experimental code and is not suitable for sensitive development environments.
