Repomix vs Codemagic MCP
A side-by-side look at the Repomix and Codemagic MCP MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose Repomix for developer tools work as a local process; choose Codemagic MCP 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 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.
Choose Codemagic MCP when
- You need dedicated capabilities in the Developer Tools domain.
- You prefer a local stdio subprocess transport.
- Its auth model fits you: API key required.
- You have the keys it needs:
CODEMAGIC_API_TOKEN, ASC_KEY_ID, ASC_ISSUER_ID, ASC_PRIVATE_KEY_B64, ASC_BYPASS_KEYCHAIN, GOOGLE_PLAY_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_CREDENTIALS. - You want tools like
ping, list_applications, list_teams.

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.

Codemagic MCP tools 63
pingCheck that the server is alive and return its versionlist_applicationsList all applications in your Codemagic account. Call this first to get the app IDs needed by all other Codemagic tools.list_teamsList teams the authenticated Codemagic account belongs to. Use the team IDs returned here with list_applications, list_builds, and other tools that accept an optional team_id.list_workflowsList workflows for an application. Returns workflow names and IDs — use the ID in trigger_build to run a specific workflow. Note: yaml-defined workflows only appear after their first build has run.list_buildsList builds for a team with optional filters. Returns build IDs and status. Use get_build with a build ID to retrieve full details and artifact download URLs.get_buildGet full details for a single build including artifact download URLs. The build ID comes from trigger_build or list_builds. Artifact URLs require x-auth-token — use them with upload_to_testflight, upload_to_google_play, or create_public_artifact_url.trigger_buildTrigger a new build on Codemagic. For release builds: determine BUILD_NUMBER first using list_asc_builds (iOS) or list_google_play_tracks (Android), then pass it in the variables parameter. Use yaml_content to supply an inline codemagic.yaml — get a starter template from get_yaml_template and validate it with validate_codemagic_yaml before triggering. Call wait_for_build with the returned build ID to wait for completion and retrieve artifact URLs.wait_for_buildCheck the current status of a Codemagic build. Returns immediately — no polling loop. If the build has not finished, call this tool again with the same build_id. A Codemagic build takes 10–40 minutes; calling this 20+ times is normal and expected. Returns full build details and artifact download URLs once a terminal state is reached.cancel_buildCancel a running or queued Codemagic build. Use when a triggered build is no longer needed — for example if the wrong branch was used or an error was found after triggering. Has no effect on builds that have already finished.add_applicationAdd a new application to Codemagic by connecting a Git repository. For HTTPS URLs: if you have connected your GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket account via Codemagic Settings → Integrations, private repositories are accessible with just the URL — no credentials needed. For SSH URLs (git@... or ssh://git@...): a fresh Ed25519 deploy key is generated automatically. The private key is stored directly in Codemagic and the public key is added to GitHub automatically if the gh CLI is installed and authenticated, or shown for manual setup otherwise. Note: after adding, the app shows 'Set up build' in the Codemagic UI — this is expected.list_variable_groupsList variable groups for a team or app in Codemagic. Use group names to reference them in trigger_build. Secret values are never returned — manage secrets directly in the Codemagic UI.list_variablesList variables in a Codemagic variable group. Returns variable IDs, names, and values. Secret variable values are returned as null — only non-secret values are visible. Use the variable IDs with update_variable and delete_variable.- +51 more on the listing page

Frequently asked questions
Repomix is categorized under Developer Tools and uses a local stdio subprocess. Codemagic MCP belongs to Developer Tools and uses a local stdio subprocess. Pick Repomix for developer tools work and Codemagic MCP 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.
Repomix has no declared pricing — check the project's own site. Codemagic MCP is listed as free. Auth: api key required. 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 repomix and todah-zg-codemagic-mcp as separate keys in the same mcpServers object, and your assistant will call tools from either one.
