WCGW successfully works with Augment Code, Cline, and Roo Code using MCP configuration

I wanted to let you know that WCGW works perfectly with Augment Code using MCPs! The setup is quite simple - just need to use the following settings:

uv tool run --from wcgw@latest --python 3.12 wcgw_mcp

I've also tested it with Cline and Roo Code, and it works great there as well.

Thank you so much for creating such a powerful tool! WCGW is truly impressive and it's fantastic that it's not exclusive to Claude or ChatGPT web - it has much broader applications.

Thanks for trying it out with other clients.

I'm curious why would anyone want to use wcgw with those apps?

Roo Code, Cline, Augment, Cursor, etc., already have tools that wcgw provides, though some capabilities might be different.

There's no way to turn off the reading, writing, terminal commands from these clients in order to exclusively used wcgw. That means there'll be twice the number of tools (and associated tokens) leading to confusion. LLMs don't use wcgw mcp by default or in correct manner (I tried it out on Roo).

The best use of wcgw is with chat applications that don't provide any default tools for file and shell capabilities themselves in my opinion.

As a side note, Cline and Roo ask LLM to generate json for MCP call for top level parameters like "file_content", which suffers from JSON escaping issue leading to deteriorated output. Claude app asks for unquoted parameters instead which works better.
