Repomix MCP Server by Aeolun

Packs a repository into one AI-readable file — and estimates the token count before you pull it into context.

Codebase Context Packing & CompressionCommunity

LABSCO SUMMARY

Estimate first is the whole point.

Packing a repository into a model's context is a move that either works or wastes the whole window, and you normally find out which after it is too late. Splitting the estimate from the retrieval turns that into a decision: check the token count, add an ignore pattern or compression, check again, then pull. The directory restriction is worth noting too — the server cannot read outside where it was started, which makes it safe to leave connected.

What it is

A wrapper around repomix that adds the step people usually skip: measuring first. One tool estimates how large the packed output will be, the other actually returns it, and both take the same parameters — so you can check the size, adjust the include patterns or turn on compression, and only then spend the context. Local paths and remote repository URLs both work.

What you get

  • repomix-estimate reports output size in KB or MB and an estimated token count, without returning the content
  • repomix packs the repository and returns the file contents
  • include and ignore glob patterns to keep tests, builds and vendor directories out
  • compress to cut the token count on a large repository
  • style to choose xml, markdown or plain output
  • remote to pack a repository URL you have not cloned

Requirements

Node and a build from the repository: npm install then npm run build, and point your client at dist/index.js — or add it in Claude Code with claude mcp add. No account and no key. File access is restricted to the directory the server was started from, so paths outside it are refused; output files are written to the system temporary directory and cleaned up after the contents are returned.

Setup effort

Build from source — git clone https://github.com/Aeolun/repomix-mcp.git
