# reposynapse
Universal MCP server that analyzes any codebase and provides structured context to AI assistants. Dynamic, accurate, and token-efficient.
## What's New in v1.8.0
- **Bug fix: diff-aware 0L** — modified files added to hotfiles now show real line counts instead of `0L`.
- **`section="modified"`** in `get_project_context` — dedicated section for git-modified files only (no mixing with oversized).
- **`depth=1`** in `read_file_outline` — top-level symbols only. Reduces ~450 tokens to ~80 tokens on complex files.
- **Multi-name `search_symbol`** — search multiple symbols at once: `"handleDelete,handleEdit"`.
- **Fuzzy match indicator** in `search_symbol` — results now show `~ci` (case-insensitive), `~sub` (substring), `~fuzzy` tags. Header shows `(fuzzy — no exact match found)` when no exact match exists.
- **`max_files=-1` default limit** in `search_in_project` — when showing all files, `max_results` defaults to 5 per file (was 30) to avoid token budget blowup. Override with explicit `max_results`.
See [CHANGELOG.md](./CHANGELOG.md) for previous versions.
## Quick Setup
### Automatic (recommended)
```bash
npm install -g reposynapse
# Run the interactive setup wizard
reposynapse-setup
```
The wizard will:
1. Detect installed AI tools (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, Cline, Zed, OpenCode, Codex, Antigravity)
2. Let you select which ones to configure
3. Safely merge `reposynapse` into their config files (backup created)
4. Show a summary of changes
```bash
# Alternative: use the --setup flag
reposynapse --setup
# Check current config status (non-interactive)
reposynapse-setup --status
```
### Manual Setup
**Claude Desktop / Cursor / Windsurf** (`claude_desktop_config.json` / `~/.cursor/mcp.json`):
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"reposynapse": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["reposynapse"]
}
}
}
```
**VS Code** (`~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/mcp.json` on macOS, `%APPDATA%\Code\User\mcp.json` on Windows):
```json
{
"servers": {
"reposynapse": {
"type": "stdio",
"command": "npx",
"args": ["reposynapse"]
}
}
}
```

## Zero-Token Auto-Docs (v1.3.0)
On startup, the MCP generates a `.reposynapse/` directory with rich markdown docs:
```
your-project/
├── .reposynapse/
│ ├── ARCHITECTURE.md ← Stack, frameworks, deps, patterns
│ ├── COMPONENTS.md ← Folders, entry points, hot files, endpoints
│ ├── MODELS.md ← All data models with fields
│ ├── IMPORTS.md ← Hub files, orphans, mermaid diagram
│ ├── OUTLINES.md ← All symbols with line ranges (v1.5.0)
│ └── STATUS.md ← TODOs, CI/CD, Docker, annotations
```
The AI reads these files naturally — **0 MCP token cost**. A file watcher keeps them updated automatically when you change code (5s debounce).
## Hot Files Detection (v1.2.0)
Automatically identifies problematic files based on:
| Criterion | Threshold | Why it matters |
| ------------- | --------- | --------------------------------- |
| Lines of code | > 300 | File too large to navigate easily |
| Import count | > 15 | High coupling |
| Export count | > 20 | Too many responsibilities |
| TODO density | > 3 | Concentrated tech debt |
## Import Graph (v1.2.0)
Analyzes internal `import`/`require` statements to build a dependency map:
- **Hub files**: Most-imported files (core of the system)
- **Orphan files**: Files nobody imports (possible dead code)
- **Mermaid output**: Visual diagram with `get_project_imports { "format": "mermaid" }`
## Annotations (v1.2.0)
Manage project knowledge via MCP tools — no manual file editing needed:
```bash
# Add a business rule
add_annotation { "category": "businessRules", "text": "Orders require payment before shipping" }
# Add a gotcha
add_annotation { "category": "gotchas", "text": "UserService.ts has 2000+ lines, read by sections" }
# List all with indices
list_annotations
# Remove by index
remove_annotation { "category": "gotchas", "index": 0 }
```
Annotations are persisted in `.reposynapse-notes.json` and included in all context formats.
## Smart Caching
- **In-memory**: 30s TTL for repeated calls
- **Disk cache**: 1h TTL with file hash validation
- **Auto-invalidate**: When config files change (package.json, etc.)
The cache file `.reposynapse.json` is stored in your project root. Add to `.gitignore`.
## Supported Languages

TDQS
Scored across 18 tools
The tool families are mostly distinct: read_file* covers whole-file vs outline vs symbol access, search_* covers file/project/symbol scopes, and editing tools separate patch vs symbol replacement vs insertion. Minor overlap remains between search_in_project and search_symbol for locating definitions, and between patch_file and replace_symbol.
Most tools follow a clear verb_noun or verb_preposition_noun pattern, with consistent families such as read_file_outline/read_file_symbol and search_in_file/search_in_project. Small deviations like annotate, batch_rename, and search_symbol (without in_) do not seriously undermine the convention.
At 18 tools, the surface is slightly above the ideal 3-15 range, but the count is justified by the broad scope: context, annotations, reading, searching, diagnostics, complexity, patching, symbol refactoring, imports, and dead-code removal. A few tools could be consolidated, but none feels redundant enough to be a real problem.
The set covers the full read-edit-refactor workflow, including diagnostics after edits, symbol-aware operations, and dead-code detection. It lacks an explicit arbitrary file create/delete tool and import removal, but patch_file and the existing symbol tools cover most real workflows.
