Robodog MCP File Service

Overview

Robodog is a lightweight, zero-install, command-line style generative AI client that integrates multiple providers (OpenAI, OpenRouter, LlamaAI, DeepSeek, Anthropic, Sarvam AI, Google Search API, and more) into a unified interface. Key capabilities include:

  • Access to cutting-edge models: o4-mini (200k context), gpt-4, gpt-4-turbo, dall-e-3, Llama3-70b, Claude Opus/Sonnet, Mistral, Sarvam-M, Gemma 3n, etc.
  • Massive context windows (up to 200k tokens) across different models.
  • Seamless chat history & knowledge management with stashes and snapshots.
  • File import/export (text, Markdown, code, PDF, images via OCR).
  • In-chat file inclusion from a local MCP server.
  • Built-in web search integration.
  • Image generation & OCR pipelines.
  • AI-driven web automation/testing via Playwright (/play).
  • Raw MCP operations (/mcp).
  • /todo feature: automate and track tasks defined in todo.md.
  • Accessible, retro “console” UI with customizable themes and responsive design.

  • Web Fetch & Automation:
    • /curl [--no-headless] <url> [<url2>|<js>] — fetch pages or run JS
    • /play <instructions> — run AI-driven Playwright tests end-to-end
  • Web Search:
    • Use search model or click 🔎 to perform live web queries.
  • Image Generation & OCR: Ask questions to dall-e-3 or drop an image to extract text via OCR.
  • Interactive Console UI: Retro “pip-boy green” theme, responsive on desktop/mobile, accessible.
  • Performance & Size Indicators: Emoji feedback for processing speed and token usage.
  • Extensive Command Palette: /help lists all commands, indicators, and settings.

Usage Examples

1) AI-Driven Web Tests with /play

/play navigate to https://example.com, extract the page title, and verify it contains 'Example Domain'

2) Fetch & Scrape with /curl

/curl https://example.com

3) Include Local Files via MCP

/include pattern=*.js recursive fix bug in parser

4) Raw MCP Commands

/mcp LIST_FILES
/mcp READ_FILE {"path":"./src/cli.py"}

5) Switch Model on the Fly

/model o4-mini

6) Import & Export

/import **/*.md
/export conversation_snapshot.txt

/todo Feature

Robodog’s /todo command scans one or more todo.md files in your configured project roots, detects tasks marked [ ], transitions them to [~] (Doing) when started, and [x] (Done) when completed. Each task may include:

  • include: pattern or file specification to gather relevant knowledge
  • focus: file path where the AI will write or update content
  • Optional code fences below the task as initial context

You can have multiple todo.md files anywhere under your roots. /todo processes the earliest outstanding task, runs the AI with gathered knowledge, updates the focus file, stamps start/completion times, and advances to the next.

Robodog MCP File Service

Example todo.md File Formats

file: project1/todo.md

  • Revise API client

1. do not remove any content
2. add a new readme section for the /todo feature with examples of the todo.md files and how you can have as many as possible
3. give lots of exampkes of file formats

watch

  • change app prints in service logger.INFO
    • include: pattern=robodog.md|robodog.py recursive`
    • focus: file=c:\projects\robodog\robodogcli\robodog\cli3.py

fix logging

  • ask: fix logging. change logging so that it gets log level through command line. change logger so that it takes log level from the command line param
    • include: pattern=robodog.md|robodog.py recursive`
    • focus: file=c:\projects\robodog\robodogcli\robodog\cli3.py
my knowledge

You can chain as many tasks and files as needed. Each can reside in different directories, and Robodog will locate all todo.md files automatically.
