Repowise Overview

repowise-dev/repowise MCP server builds a local index of a repository's code, dependencies, Git history, tests, documentation, and architectural decisions. It exposes task-oriented MCP tools for codebase questions, change impact, code health, documentation, and related analysis, with cited answers for agents and developers. Core analysis runs locally without an API key, while generated prose is optional. Reach for it when an agent needs repository-wide context, safer change planning, or targeted code-health findings instead of repeatedly searching the codebase.
