Which integrations are available for this server?

Allows packing remote GitHub repositories into AI-friendly files, enabling estimation of token counts and retrieval of consolidated codebase contents. Supports packing repository contents into Markdown-formatted files, providing a structured and readable way for AI systems to consume entire codebases. Supports packing repository contents into XML-formatted files, offering a machine-readable structure that includes file summaries and metadata.

How do I use Repomix MCP Server?

1. Click on "Install Server". 2. Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state. 3. In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@Repomix MCP Server pack https://github.com/expressjs/express using xml style and compression" That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed. Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.

Repomix MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides access to the repomix tool for packing repositories into AI-friendly files.

Security

Input paths: The server restricts file access to the directory from which it was started. Any attempts to access files outside this directory (like /etc/) will be denied.
Output files: All output is written to the system's temporary directory and automatically cleaned up after the contents are returned.
Remote URLs: Remote repository URLs are still allowed for processing.

Installation

npm install npm run build

Usage

Claude Code

claude mcp add --scope user repomix node /path/to/repomix-mcp/dist/index.js

Claude Desktop

Add this server to your MCP client configuration in your claude_desktop_config.json:

{ "mcpServers": { "repomix": { "command": "node", "args": ["/path/to/repomix-mcp/dist/index.js"] } } }

Available Tools

Both tools accept the same parameters:

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description	Examples
`path`	string	No	Directory path to pack	`/path/to/repo`
`style`	enum	No	Output format style	`xml`, `markdown`, `plain`
`compress`	boolean	No	Compress output to reduce token count	`true`, `false`
`include`	string	No	Files to include (glob pattern)	`.md,.ts,.js`, `.py`, `src/*/.go`
`ignore`	string	No	Files to exclude (glob pattern)	`test,spec,dist/,build/`
`remote`	string	No	Remote repository URL to process	`https://github.com/user/repo`

repomix-estimate

Estimate the size of repomix output without retrieving the content. Use this first to check if the output will fit in your context window.

Returns:

File size in KB/MB
Estimated token count (~4 characters per token)
Whether compression is enabled

repomix-estimate output

Repomix output size estimate: - Size: 5.27 KB (0.01 MB) - Estimated tokens: ~1,349 - Compression: disabled Use the repomix tool with these same parameters to retrieve the actual content.

repomix

Pack a repository into a single, AI-friendly file. Returns the contents of the generated file.

Best Practice: Always use repomix-estimate first to check the output size, then use repomix with appropriate parameters (especially compress=true for large repos).

Example usage in Claude:

First check size: use repomix-estimate tool
If size is reasonable: use repomix tool
If too large, try with compression: use repomix-estimate tool with compress=true
Then retrieve: use repomix tool with compress=true

Workflow: Always estimate first, then retrieve only if the size fits your needs.
