Overview

Repowise builds a local index of a repository's code, call graph, Git history, tests, documentation, and design decisions. Developers can query it through a local dashboard or an MCP server connected to a coding agent to trace callers and dependencies, assess change impact, find dead code, and review code health. It can generate structural documentation without an API key, check Markdown references for documentation drift, and update documentation incrementally after commits.

Key features

  • Indexes repository code, call graphs, Git history, tests, docs, and design decisions locally.
  • Traces callers and dependencies to help assess the impact of code changes.
  • Reports code health and detects dead code without making LLM calls.
  • Generates structural documentation and checks Markdown references against the codebase.
  • Provides a local dashboard and an MCP server for coding agents.

Best for

Developers and coding agents that need repository context for code changes, maintenance, and documentation. Choose it when you want local codebase analysis and an MCP-connected agent workflow.
