What you need to know

A free, open-source native macOS app and agent orchestrator for context engineering that assembles focused, reviewable context (files, CodeMaps, repo structure, Git diffs) for coding agents, and builds an agent harness around its bundled MCP server.

Install

brew tap repoprompt/repoprompt-ce
brew install --cask repoprompt-ce
For contributors: double-click "Launch RepoPrompt CE.command" (requires Python 3), or "Install RepoPrompt CE Local Production.command" with a full Xcode install.

Usage

  • Use the Context Builder for an agent to explore the repository, identify relevant files, and curate context within a token budget (long-running MCP calls expose request-scoped progress).
  • Use the Compose inspector to review selected files/codemaps, configure prompt packaging and Git context, and copy a model-ready prompt.
  • Connect external MCP-compatible tools and CLI agents to RepoPrompt CE's repository context and agent harness; run and coordinate CLI-backed coding agents from the app.
  • Work across multiple repositories in one workspace (multi-root workspaces) and manage git worktrees via app-managed worktrees.

Key features

  • Context engineering: build dense, reviewable prompts from file contents, line slices, CodeMaps, repository structure, and Git diffs.
  • Agent orchestration: run and coordinate CLI-backed coding agents from the native macOS interface, including app-managed worktrees and .worktreeinclude local file copying.
  • MCP server and CLI integration: bundled MCP executable ("RepoPrompt CE MCP") plus product CLI (repoprompt-mcp) for repository search, file inspection, context curation, and agent sessions.
  • Multi-root workspaces and reviewable handoffs for sending selected context to another model or agent.
  • Signed and notarized public app via Homebrew cask.

Best for

macOS developers who want a native, visual context-engineering workspace that pre-builds high-quality prompts for Claude Code, Codex, or other coding agents.

Caveats

  • macOS 26+ only; requires Xcode 26 or matching Command Line Tools with the macOS 26 SDK for source builds.
  • The local production build is self-signed, not notarized, and should not be copied or redistributed.
  • Ad-hoc debug builds use in-memory secure storage, so saved API keys do not persist across launches.
