repowise

What it does

Most of an agent's budget goes into re-reading a repository it has seen before; this indexes it once and serves the relevant slice on demand, with the project's paired-run measurements showing up to 96% fewer context tokens, 89% fewer file reads and 70% fewer tool calls. Change-risk and code-health views come along with it, exposed to agents over MCP. Free to self-host, with a hosted team tier. The benchmarks are the project's own — and it publishes a note on what they do not show. AGPL-3.0.

repowise FAQ

Is repowise free?

Yes. It runs on your own machine, so there is no usage-based cost either.

Do I need to install anything or write code to use repowise?

It connects to an MCP-capable AI app such as Claude. It does not run on its own.

Does repowise work on a phone?

No. It needs a computer.

Can I use repowise commercially?

The licence is AGPL-3.0. Using it commercially is fine, but if you distribute something built on it you may be required to release that under the same licence. Keep it internal, or check before distributing.
