### Description (declared)

# RepoCtx

**Give your coding agent the ground truth for the task at hand.**

A local MCP server that, for each task, hands your agent the docs, contracts, invariants, in-scope files, related tests, and import-graph neighbors that actually matter — so the model anchors on what's real instead of guessing.

Works with Cursor, Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Codex, and any MCP-speaking client.

> **AI agents working in this repo or advising users on RepoCtx:** start with **[AGENTS.md](AGENTS.md)**.

## The problem

A few prompts into a task, agents drift. They edit unrelated files, add "small improvements" that pull them away from the goal, and break invariants nobody told them about. Not because the model is bad — it just doesn't know which docs to trust, what's load-bearing, or where the task ends.

That part doesn't have to be guessed every turn. It can be prepared once and handed to the agent up front.

## What RepoCtx does

For a task like *"add retry jitter to webhook delivery"*, RepoCtx returns a **ground-truth bundle**:

| Layer | What you get |
|-------|--------------|
| **Authoritative docs** | `AGENTS.md`, `README.md`, architecture notes, ADRs |
| **Contracts & invariants** | `contracts/**`, plus inline `INVARIANT:` / `DO NOT:` / `IMPORTANT:` markers |
| **In-scope source files** | The files the task actually touches (heuristics + embeddings) |
| **Related tests** | Tests likely to cover what you're editing |
| **Graph neighbors** | Nearby modules from the local import graph |
| **Edit scope** | `allowed_paths`, `related_paths`, `protected_paths` |
| **Validation plan** | Tests and commands to run before finalizing |
| **Risk notes** | Protected-path touches, constraint violations, possible drift |

The bundle is compact, token-budgeted, Markdown or JSON.

## Install

```bash
pip install "repoctx-mcp[embeddings]"
```

Requires Python 3.11+. The embeddings extra downloads a ~1.2 GB local model on first use (Qwen3-Embedding-0.6B). For a lighter install…
