Roo Code via Tokonomix

//What is Roo Code?

Roo Code is an open-source autonomous coding agent for VS Code — a whole dev team of AI personas in one extension. It ships several modes — Code, Architect, Ask, Debug and custom ones you define — each with its own prompt and tool permissions, so you can match the model and behaviour to the task.

• Switch between modes (Architect to plan, Code to implement, Debug to diagnose) — each can use a different model.
• Reads and edits files, runs commands, and browses, with approval gates you control.
• Connects to any OpenAI-compatible endpoint and supports MCP tools.
• Per-mode model assignment means you can reserve the expensive model for the mode that needs it.

//Why route Roo Code through Tokonomix?

Roo Code’s modes map cleanly onto Tokonomix’s strengths: a cheap fast model for Code, a frontier model for Architect, and consensus for the decisions that are expensive to get wrong — all on one key.

• Assign a different Tokonomix model per mode — e.g. a fast model for Code, tokonomix-consensus for Architect.
• Call tokonomix_consensus_ask via MCP when a plan or migration needs a second and third opinion.
• One key unlocks 130+ models from every major family — no per-provider setup.
• Cap spend per call and pin models by hosting_region / origin_country for compliance.

//Connect Tokonomix to Roo Code

Add Tokonomix as an OpenAI-compatible provider, then (optionally) the MCP server for consensus. You can assign the provider per mode in Roo Code’s settings.

//What Tokonomix powers in Roo Code

//Verify it works

• Set an OpenAI-compatible Tokonomix provider and pick a slug in any mode.
• Run a small task in Code mode and confirm the edit applies.
• Check the call and token usage appear in your Tokonomix dashboard; add the MCP server to expose the consensus tool to the Agent.
