What this connection is for

Roo Code is a VS Code coding agent for developers who want planning, file edits, terminal output, and follow-up questions in the same side-panel workflow. It suits people who prefer to keep the repository visible while an agent investigates an issue, proposes a patch, or works through a small implementation. Its natural unit of work is a reviewable local change, not a detached remote job.

Choose Roo Code when its editor-first task flow matches how you already inspect diffs and run tests. It is less suitable when you need a headless CI worker or a terminal-only session with no VS Code workspace. Start with a focused request and approval boundaries, particularly for commands that change dependencies, configuration, or generated files.

Roo Code exposes an OpenAI Compatible provider with base URL, API key, and model fields. Set those fields to GlideflowAI, select an exact model such as glm-5.2, and make a small workspace request before trusting longer agent runs. Check tool approvals after the first request, because provider connectivity does not change Roo's local command permissions. Roo Code is an independent project; this is a user-managed connection, not an endorsement or partnership.

Why pair it with GlideflowAI

Roo Code can keep its editor workflow while drawing models from the same GlideflowAI catalog used by your terminal agents.

The gateway's model list is useful when Roo's model picker needs a manually entered ID instead of a preconfigured vendor model.

Setup

Use a new API key for the tool, select a model from the catalog, and begin with a small task. Do not put a key in a repository, screenshot, or shared configuration file.

1
Choose the compatible provider
In Roo Code's current provider settings, select its OpenAI Compatible provider rather than an OAuth or vendor-specific option.
```
API Provider : OpenAI Compatible
```
2
Add GlideflowAI values
Enter the base URL, key, and exact model ID in the provider fields, then test a small repository task.
```
Base URL : https://api.glideflowai.com/v1
API Key  : sk-your-key
Model ID : glm-5.2
```

Frequently asked questions

Which Roo Code provider should I select?

Use Roo Code's OpenAI Compatible provider, not the OpenAI OAuth provider, then enter https://api.glideflowai.com/v1 as its custom base URL.

Why is my model not in Roo's picker?

Enter an exact GlideflowAI model ID manually where Roo permits it, or confirm the key can read GET /v1/models before retrying.

Can I use Roo Code CLI with this setup?

The documented custom-base-URL path is for the extension provider configuration; confirm current CLI support separately before depending on it.

Is this an official integration?

No. The connection is configured by you using a compatible API and does not imply sponsorship, endorsement, or a partnership.
