In simple English
This tool indexes your entire project on your computer. It reads your code, your git history, and your test files all at once. When you ask a question, it finds the exact answer instantly. When your coding agent works on your files, it uses this index instead of reading every file from scratch. It saves you money on model fees and keeps your private code on your machine.
What it is
Repowise is a local codebase intelligence engine and Model Context Protocol (an open standard that lets AI models talk to local tools) server. It parses twenty-eight languages into a local graph to track code health, detect dead code, and guide coding agents.
What it is good for
Solo builders who want their AI coding assistants to stop searching the same files repeatedly, or anyone who wants a clear report on technical debt and test coverage.
- Runs entirely on your machine so your code stays private.
- Cuts down token usage for AI agents by answering questions from a pre-built index.
- Provides detailed code health scores and dead code detection without needing an API key.
- Requires Node.js 20 or newer to run the web dashboard.
- Setting up MCP integrations takes a few manual configuration steps.
- Large codebases need time for the initial indexing pass.
