repoprompt-ce
Community edition of RepoPrompt: a native macOS context engineering app for AI coding agents, with an MCP CLI.
RepoPrompt CE is a free, open-source macOS application that bundles an MCP server for context engineering and AI coding agent orchestration. It helps AI assistants understand codebases by assembling focused context from files, code maps, repository structure, and Git diffs, then exposing that context through MCP tools. The application combines a native macOS interface for context review and agent coordination with an MCP server that external clients can connect to for repository search, file inspection, and context curation. It supports multi-root workspaces and provides a Context Builder tool that lets agents explore repositories and curate context within token budgets.
