Codebase intelligence for AI and humans: code health scores, auto-generated docs, git analytics, dead code detection, and architectural decisions via MCP.

Repowise gives an AI coding agent a real map of your codebase. It indexes a repo into a dependency graph, git history analytics, auto-generated docs, architectural decisions, and a deterministic per-file code-health score, then serves all of it to Claude Code, Codex, or any MCP client through a small set of focused tools. Instead of grepping around blindly, the agent can ask what is risky here or why this code exists. AGPL-3.0, free for internal use.
Self-hosting is a pip install on Python 3.11 or later and a repowise init to index. The quickstart needs no API key and makes zero LLM calls. Coverage has grown to 26 languages parsed to a full syntax tree. CLI telemetry is anonymous and opt-out.
There is a hosted version too, at feature parity with self-hosted. Free covers public repos up to 250 MB and 10 AI answers a month. Pro is $15/mo with private repos up to 5 GB. Teams is $20 per seat with a 3-seat minimum, so $60/mo to start. Enterprise and the commercial license, which adds SSO, SCIM, indemnification, and an exit from AGPL, are by quote.
The catch: the impressive numbers are the project's own. To its credit, the README now qualifies them, noting that its headline token saving is one retrieval payload and that a real agent loop saved about 32% of output tokens. Test it on your own repo.
Free vs Self-Hosted vs Paid
open coreFree: AGPL-3.0, free for individuals, teams, and internal company use: dependency graph, git analytics, auto-docs, deterministic code-health scoring, dead-code detection, an MCP server, and a free GitHub PR bot. The hosted Free plan covers public repos up to 250 MB, 10 AI answers a month, and a 500-commit analysis limit.
Self-hosted: pip install on Python 3.11 or later, then repowise init. Runs on your machine or in CI, with no API key required for the base index.
Paid: Hosted Pro is $15/mo with $5 of LLM credits, private repos through a GitHub App, and repos up to 5 GB. Teams is $20/seat/mo with a 3-seat minimum ($60/mo), 25 shared repos, and Jira and Confluence integration. Yearly billing saves 20%. Enterprise is custom. A separate commercial license (SSO and SCIM, proprietary modification and embedding rights, indemnification, SLA-backed support) is priced by proposal.
Free under AGPL for internal use. Hosted plans run $15/mo for Pro and $20 per seat for Teams, and a commercial license lifts the AGPL terms.
What to do by team size
