About revibe-mcp
revibe-mcp is an MCP server for analyzing GitHub repositories and returning architecture, file roles, execution flows, and structured agent context. It is for developers and AI assistants exploring a codebase, with tools for tracking analysis and retrieving specific sections.
Key features
- 01Analyze GitHub repositories
- 02Summarize architecture, modules, and patterns
- 03Inspect file roles and execution flows
- 04Ask questions about system design
- 05Retrieve structured agent context
- 06Track analysis job status
Use cases
- 01Review a repository's architecture
- 02Understand the purpose of files and modules
- 03Trace execution flows in a codebase
- 04Provide an agent with structured repository context
MCP support
The MCP server exposes repository analysis and result-retrieval tools to MCP-compatible clients. It supports authentication through browser login or a manually supplied API key.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
npx -y revibe-mcpREVIBE_API_KEYSecretRevibe API key (optional — you can also use the revibe_login tool for browser-based auth)Local servers need a runtime on your machine (e.g. Node.js 18+). Config file locations differ by client; see your client’s docs.

Details
From the project READMErevibe-mcp
MCP server for Revibe codebase analysis. Works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and any MCP-compatible client.
Analyze any GitHub repo — get architecture, file roles, execution flows, system design Q&A, and structured agent context.
Quick Start (Node.js — zero install)
Add to your MCP client config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"revibe": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["revibe-mcp"]
}
}
}
Then ask your AI assistant to "log in to Revibe" — it will open your browser for a one-time signup.
Quick Start (Python)
pip install revibe-mcp
revibe-mcp-auth login
{
"mcpServers": {
"revibe": {
"command": "revibe-mcp"
}
}
}
Where to add the config
| Client | Config location |
|---|---|
| Claude Desktop | ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json |
| Claude Code | .mcp.json in your project root |
| Cursor | Settings > MCP Servers > Add |
| Windsurf | MCP config in settings |
Auth
Two options:
Option A: Browser login (recommended)
# Node.js
npx revibe-mcp-auth login
# Python
revibe-mcp-auth login
Opens your browser — sign up or log in, click "Authorize". API key saved automatically to ~/.config/revibe/credentials.json.
Option B: Manual API key
Get a key from app.revibe.codes/settings, then pass it via env:
{
"mcpServers": {
"revibe": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["revibe-mcp"],
"env": {
"REVIBE_API_KEY": "rk_live_your_key_here"
}
}
}
}
Tools
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
revibe_login | Log in via browser — one-time setup |
analyze_repo | Submit a GitHub repo for analysis (auto-detects from git remote) |
check_status | Check progress of an analysis job |
get_summary | Architecture, modules, patterns overview |
get_section | Drill into architecture, file_roles, system_design_qa, etc. |
get_agent_context | Full structured JSON optimized for AI agents |
Usage
Once configured, just ask your AI assistant:
- "Analyze this repo with Revibe"
- "What's the architecture of github.com/user/repo?"
- "Get the agent context for this codebase"
The tools handle auto-detection, polling, and structured output automatically.
CLI Commands
# Node.js
npx revibe-mcp-auth login # Log in via browser
npx revibe-mcp-auth status # Show current auth status
npx revibe-mcp-auth logout # Remove saved credentials
# Python
revibe-mcp-auth login
revibe-mcp-auth status
revibe-mcp-auth logout
Claude Code Skill
If you use Claude Code, you can install Revibe as a slash command skill instead of (or in addition to) the MCP server:
# Copy the skill file
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/revibe
curl -o ~/.claude/skills/revibe/SKILL.md \
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/selvatuple/revibe-mcp/main/skills/claude-code/SKILL.md
Then use /revibe or /revibe github.com/user/repo inside Claude Code.
The skill file is also available at skills/claude-code/SKILL.md.

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
