# Use Comma with Roo Code — publish HTML reports from any Roo mode

> Add Comma to Roo Code as a streamable-http MCP server, globally or per project in .roo/mcp.json. Architect and Ask modes can publish HTML reports reviewers comment on.

# Use Comma with Roo Code

Roo Code's Architect and Ask modes produce documents — plans, audits, explanations — that deserve reviewers, not a scrollback. Attach Comma as a remote MCP server and those modes can publish a page and hand back the link.

## Add Comma to Roo Code

Roo reads a global `mcp_settings.json` (opened from Roo's MCP settings panel) and a project-level `.roo/mcp.json`. When both define `comma`, the project file wins.

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "comma": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "https://commareports.com/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer comma_sk_…"
      },
      "disabled": false
    }
  }
}
```

Replace `comma_sk_…` with a token from **Settings → API tokens → New token** on Comma (or export it as `COMMA_API_TOKEN` where the snippet reads an env var). The default scopes — `reports:write`, `comments:read`, `comments:write` — cover publishing and review.

## Roo Code gotchas

- **Hyphen, not camelCase.** Roo spells it `streamable-http`; Cline spells it `streamableHttp`. Copying a Cline block into Roo verbatim gets the type wrong.
- **Keep the token out of `.roo/mcp.json` in public repos.** Use the global file for the token and the project file only for project-specific servers.
- Scope the publish rule to the modes that write documents — a `.roo/rules-architect/` instruction fires for plans and not for every code edit.

## What the agent can do

| Capability                | Tools                                                                    |
| ------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Publish a report          | `create_report`, `update_report`, `create_report_from_url`               |
| Find existing reports     | `list_reports`, `search_reports`, `get_report`, `read_report`            |
| Leave / reply to comments | `add_comment`, `reply_to_comment`, `set_comment_status`, `list_comments` |
| Ask for review, share     | `request_review`, `set_report_sharing`, `get_report_signoffs`            |
| Manage assets             | `upload_report_asset`, `list_report_assets`, `delete_report_asset`       |

Roo picks the tool from the request — there are no Roo Code-specific commands to learn.

## A workflow that sticks

1. Ask Roo to write up the work as a self-contained HTML report and publish it to Comma. It calls `create_report` and returns a link.
2. Send the link. Reviewers open a rendered page and leave comments anchored to the exact line, cell or chart they mean — no account needed to read a public link.
3. Next session, ask Roo to address the comments. It reads the threads with `list_comments`, ships a revision with `update_report` (same URL), replies, and resolves them.

Reports belong to your workspace, not to the agent. A report published from Roo Code can be revised tomorrow from Claude Code or Cursor, and the link people bookmarked keeps working.

## Token shape

- Lives in `mcp_settings.json` (user-level) or `.roo/mcp.json` (project) — don't commit the project file with a real token in it.
- Scoped — you choose which actions it can take when you create it.
- Revocable in one click from **Settings → API tokens**; revocation applies immediately to the REST API, the MCP server and any routines the token created.
- Rate-limited per token.

## Try it

Add the entry, generate a token, restart Roo Code, and ask for a report on something you worked on today. Then leave a comment on it and ask the agent what it sees.
