repowise

Repowise is an open-source, self-hostable codebase intelligence tool for the AI era. It focuses on giving agents and teams a verified view of a repository’s structure, history, and risk, with the stated goal of supporting AI velocity rather than letting it collapse when context is missing. The product describes itself as serving both agents over MCP and people through a living wiki.

Its feature set includes a defect-validated code health score for each file, called out as a 1 to 10 score with no LLM involved. It also tracks agent provenance to show how much code AI wrote and whether it is healthy, and it assigns a 0 to 10 change-risk score to commits or pull requests. Repowise adds reachability-aware CVE triage on a dependency graph, a self-rebuilding codebase wiki, and git intelligence such as hotspots, ownership, hidden coupling, and bus factor. Architectural context is presented through the C4 model, and architectural decisions are mined from eight sources.

The MCP side of the product includes nine tools for querying a repository. Those tools cover overview, question answering, context, symbol retrieval, semantic search, risk, decision lookup, dead-code detection, and health scoring. The page also says it gives Claude Code, Cursor, and any MCP client a queryable model of a repo, and it names supported editors as Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, and any MCP client. It further says that public GitHub repositories are instant, while private repos need Pro.

Repowise is described as open source, self-hostable, and commercially licensed for the whole organization in enterprise use. It also says the product can be installed with pip, and that enterprise use is self-hosted and air-gapped. The page names teams, team leads, engineering leaders, security, and developers among its audience and use cases.
