Epinu vs Repomix
A side-by-side look at the Epinu and Repomix MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose Epinu for developer tools work over a hosted endpoint; choose Repomix for developer tools as a local process. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.
Which MCP server should you choose?
Choose Epinu when
- You need dedicated capabilities in the Developer Tools domain.
- You prefer a remote HTTP/SSE transport.
- You want tools like
projects_search, getting_started, marketplace_listings_search.
Choose Repomix when
- You need dedicated capabilities in the Developer Tools domain.
- You prefer a local stdio subprocess transport.
- You want tools like
pack_codebase, directory, compress.

Tools & capabilities
Epinu tools 5
projects_searchSearch Epinu real-asset projects. Returns bounded summaries only; call projects_get_deep_dive for detailed packets. Results include public projects plus the token owner's own archived, draft, or unpublished projects for duplicate checks; another owner's unpublished projects are never returned. Available without a token for public results only.getting_startedStart here: platform overview, the proposal/approval operating model, auth rules, common flows, and agent etiquette. Static content — requires no scopes.marketplace_listings_searchSearch the Epinu marketplace for equipment, services, and assets. Returns summaries only; call marketplace_listing_get for detailed packets.searchUnified read-only search across public Epinu projects and marketplace listings. Returns { id, title, url } results; call fetch with a returned id for the full document. Available without a token; public data only. Additive alias over projects_search and marketplace_listings_search.fetchFetch the full document for one search result by its opaque id (project:<uuid> or listing:<uuid>). Returns { id, title, text, url, metadata }. Available without a token; public data only. Wraps projects_get_deep_dive and marketplace_listing_get. Unknown or malformed ids return a clean not-found.

pack_codebasePackage a local code directory into a consolidated XML file for AI analysisdirectoryAbsolute path to the directory to packcompress(Optional, default: false) Enable Tree-sitter compression to extract essential code signatures and structure while removing implementation details. Reduces token usage by ~70% while preserving semantic meaning. Generally not needed since grep_repomix_output allows incremental content retrieval. Use…includePatterns(Optional) Specify files to include using fast-glob patterns. Multiple patterns can be comma-separated (e.g., "**/*.{js,ts}", "src/**,docs/**"). Only matching files will be processed.ignorePatterns(Optional) Specify additional files to exclude using fast-glob patterns. Multiple patterns can be comma-separated (e.g., "test/**,*.spec.js", "node_modules/**,dist/**"). These patterns supplement .gitignore, .ignore, and built-in exclusions.outputPatterns(Optional) Per-file inclusion levels, mirroring the config-file `output.patterns` option. An array of `{ pattern, compress?, directoryStructureOnly? }` entries; the first matching pattern wins, `directoryStructureOnly` takes precedence over `compress`, and a match with neither flag forces full cont…topFilesLength(Optional, default: 10) Number of largest files by size to display in the metrics summary for codebase analysis.attach_packed_outputAttach an existing Repomix packed output file for AI analysispathPath to a directory containing repomix-output.xml or direct path to a packed repository XML filepack_remote_repositoryFetch, clone, and package a GitHub repository into a consolidated XML file for AI analysisremoteGitHub repository URL or user/repo format (e.g., "yamadashy/repomix", "https://github.com/user/repo", or "https://github.com/user/repo/tree/branch")read_repomix_outputRead the contents of a Repomix-generated output file.

Frequently asked questions
Epinu is categorized under Developer Tools and uses a remote HTTP/SSE transport. Repomix belongs to Developer Tools and uses a local stdio subprocess. Pick Epinu for developer tools work and Repomix for developer tools.
Copy the mcpServers block from the config section on this page into your client's config (for example claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json), then fully restart the client.
Epinu has no declared pricing — check the project's own site. Repomix has no declared pricing — check the project's own site. If a server needs environment variables such as API keys, define them under the env key in your client's MCP config.
Yes. MCP clients support multiple servers: add epinu-2 and repomix as separate keys in the same mcpServers object, and your assistant will call tools from either one.
