CogniRepo

Overview

CogniRepo is an MCP server that equips AI agents with 34 tools for code understanding and retrieval. It combines FAISS vector search, call graph analysis, abstract syntax tree parsing, and BM25 keyword matching to help agents navigate and reason about codebases. The server runs entirely offline and can reduce token usage by 50-80% compared to passing raw code to language models.

CogniRepo installs locally via uvx cognirepo and communicates with MCP clients over stdio. It requires no authentication or external credentials and works immediately after installation. The project is maintained at ashlesh-t/cognirepo on GitHub under the MIT license, currently at version v1.1.1, with 14 stars.

CogniRepo is listed in the AI & Agents category on mcp.site. It works with any MCP client, including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and Zed. If you maintain this project, claim your listing to verify ownership and keep information up to date.
