🌟 Why RepoContext?

When feeding codebases into modern AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, OpenAI Codex, Antigravity, Cline), developers face three critical bottlenecks:

  1. 💥 Token Explosion & High API Costs: Raw code dumps quickly exceed context limits or cost tens of dollars per query.
  2. 📉 Low Signal-to-Noise Ratio: 80% of lines are routine implementation details. LLMs only need the semantic API surface (signatures, types, interfaces, docstrings).
  3. 🔓 Security Leaks: Accidental exposure of .env credentials, API keys, and database URIs in prompts.

RepoContext solves all three with intelligent AST outline pruning, task-focused semantic file ranking, automated credential redaction, and native Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration.


🚀 Key Features

  • ⚡ AST Codebase Map & Skeletonizer: Compresses source files by 70%~85% while retaining 100% of interfaces, types, functions, and JSDoc/docstrings.
  • 🎯 Task-Oriented Relevance Pruning: Pass your prompt query (e.g. repocontext pack -q "Fix JWT auth token expiry") to automatically rank and pack only the most critical files.
  • 🛡️ Automated Secret Scanner & Redaction: Built-in entropy and regex scanner detects and masks OpenAI keys, GitHub tokens, AWS keys, JWTs, and database URIs.
  • 🔌 Native Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server: Directly integrates with Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and Antigravity via standard MCP tools.
  • 📑 Multi-Format Export: Generates clean Markdown with directory trees, Claude-optimized XML (<documents>), or structured JSON.
  • 📊 Multi-Model Token & Cost Analytics: Real-time token counter with cost estimates for GPT-4o, GPT-5, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, and Gemini 1.5 Pro.

📦 Quick Start

1. Run without installation via npx

# Pack entire repository into an optimized Markdown prompt
npx repocontext pack

# Pack only files relevant to a specific task prompt
npx repocontext pack -q "Implement Stripe payment webhook handler" -o prompt.md

# Generate lightweight AST skeleton map (75%+ token reduction)
npx repocontext map -o codebase-map.md

2. Global Installation

npm install -g repocontext

🛠️ CLI Usage & Options

repocontext pack [dir] [options]

Options:
  -m, --mode <mode>         Packing mode: full | ast | relevant | hybrid (default: "full")
  -q, --query <query>       Filter and rank files relevant to a coding task prompt
  -f, --format <format>     Output format: markdown | xml | json (default: "markdown")
  -o, --output <file>       Output file path (default: "repocontext-output.md")
  -t, --max-tokens <number> Maximum token budget ceiling (default: 80000)
  --no-security             Disable secret scanning and auto-redaction
  -h, --help                Display help for command

🔌 Model Context Protocol (MCP) Integration

RepoContext comes with built-in MCP server support. Add it to your claude_desktop_config.json or Cursor/Windsurf MCP settings:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "repocontext": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "repocontext", "mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Exposed MCP Tools:

  • get_codebase_map: Returns AST symbol outline map of the repository.
  • extract_relevant_context: Prunes codebase and returns only files needed for a prompt.
  • read_file_outline: Reads compressed AST skeleton for a single file.
