Set it up in one line

Open Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or any MCP-capable agent in your repository and paste:

Read https://docs.repowise.dev/setup.md and set up Repowise in this repository.

The agent installs Repowise, indexes the repo with no API key, connects itself to the index, and asks you before anything costs money. To do it by hand:

uv tool install repowise          # or: pipx install repowise / pip install repowise
cd /path/to/your/repo
repowise init --yes --no-prose    # graph, git, health, dead code, docs. No key, no spend.
                                  # answers and docs: run repowise generate (one command, no re-index)
repowise serve                    # dashboard + MCP server (needs Node 20+; first run downloads the UI)

serve opens the dashboard in your browser. After a first index it starts with a short guided tour, and Setup is where you connect agents, turn on sync and add coverage or a model.

Restart Claude Code or run /mcp, then ask "What breaks if I change src/auth.py?" or "Use Repowise get_overview to summarize this repository." init wires Claude Code for this repo and adds the global repowise MCP entry when there is none; it never moves one that serves another repo.

Your agent stops guessing

Without an index, an agent rediscovers your codebase on every task: grep, open a file, open three more, grep again. Repowise answers those questions ahead of time, so the agent asks once and gets on with the work.

In a measured run on django/django, an agent with Repowise made 3.8 tool calls instead of 7.2, opened 3.0 files instead of 7.2 and wrote 31.6% less, with answers just as good. That is the largest saving of the five context tools we tested. On a small local model the output cut reaches 47.9%. How it was measured →

• Your agent gets ten task-shaped MCP tools. Ask about several files at once and get callers, risk, tests, owners and the reasons behind the code in one answer. The tool list ↓
• Up to 99% less command noise. repowise distill trims test, install and git output before the agent reads it and keeps every error line. Distill →
• Context before the agent asks. Optional hooks warn it off fragile files and stale paths, and Repowise keeps your CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md current from the index.
• See your own savings. repowise saved and the dashboard's Usage and savings page count the tokens your agent no longer has to read.

What it does

One index of your code, its history and its decisions, used three ways: to understand the code, to change it safely, and to keep improving it.
