Cline / Roo Code

Cline and Roo Code are VS Code extensions with a built-in MCP panel. Add Conductor from the sidebar — no config file editing required.

Setup via the MCP panel

1Open VS Code. Install Cline (ext: saoudrizwan.claude-dev) or Roo Code (ext: RooVeterinaryInc.roo-cline) from the Extensions marketplace.
2Click the Cline/Roo Code icon in the Activity Bar (left sidebar).
3In the panel, click the MCP Servers icon (looks like a plug).
4Click Add Server. Paste the config JSON below.
5Click Save. Cline starts Conductor immediately.

Config to paste

MCP server config
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "conductor": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@useconductor/conductor"]
    }
  }
}
with plugin credentials
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "conductor": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@useconductor/conductor"],
      "env": {
        "GITHUB_TOKEN": "ghp_your_token",
        "CONDUCTOR_LOG_LEVEL": "info"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cline and Roo Code store MCP config at:

PlatformPath
macOS (Cline)~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/globalStorage/saoudrizwan.claude-dev/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json
macOS (Roo Code)~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/globalStorage/RooVeterinaryInc.roo-cline/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json

Roo Code vs Cline differences

MCP supportBoth support MCP identically — same config format, same behavior.
Approval gatesBoth prompt you in the VS Code panel when Conductor requires approval for destructive ops.
Tool visibilityBoth show which MCP tools are being called in the conversation.
Config locationDifferent extension IDs in the path — see table above. Otherwise identical.

Troubleshooting

MCP icon not visible in panel

Make sure you're on Cline v2.0+ or Roo Code v1.0+. Earlier versions don't have the MCP panel. Update the extension.

Server shows error state (red indicator)

Click the error indicator to see the full startup log. Most often: npx not found (PATH issue) or a JSON syntax error.

Tools available but AI doesn't use them

Cline uses tools when the task clearly needs them. Try: 'Use the filesystem tool to list files in src/'. Explicit is better.

PATH issues — npx not found

VS Code extensions inherit a limited PATH. Add the full path to npx in the command field, e.g. /usr/local/bin/npx
