## What it is
Roo Code is a VS Code extension that provides a team of AI coding agents inside the editor, with modes for coding, architecture planning, debugging, and Q&A, plus MCP server support. The project was shut down on May 15, 2026, with the community pointing users to forks like ZooCode and the original Cline.

## Use cases
- generate code from natural language descriptions in my editor
- refactor and debug existing code with an AI agent
- get explanations and answers about my codebase
- plan system architecture and migrations with AI
- automate repetitive coding tasks
- connect AI agents to MCP servers
- run autonomous coding agents that open pull requests

## When to choose
- you want an AI coding agent directly inside VS Code with multiple specialized modes
- you need model-agnostic, bring-your-own-key AI assistance
- you want MCP server integration in your editor
- you prefer a community fork such as ZooCode or Cline over a commercial product

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained tool - Roo Code was shut down on May 15, 2026
- you require commercial support or billing continuity
- you want a cloud coding agent platform - consider the Roomote successor or Cline instead
- you are uncomfortable with the project's explicit no-warranty disclaimer
