Works with Claude, with some setup first
You need a Replen key (create it on the maker’s site) · Install Node.js on your computer first (one time) · Only the Claude desktop app (Windows or Mac), not the web or phone
One time only; it works for every server that needs Node.js
Open the maker’s site, sign up and create an API key for the next step. Check the maker’s site for pricing and free plans.
How to get a key is in the maker’s README below

It passed 2 of 2 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

Reverse engineer anything from your terminal or agent with one CLI and MCP server.
A powerful toolkit for coding, providing semantic retrieval and editing capabilities.
Copied from the maker’s repo as written. PopNx MCP has not reviewed or endorsed it. HTML, images and scripts are removed. Links lead off this site.
Smarter AI Development workflows. MCP server that brings replen - the AI that asks *"can we do this better?"* on your codebase - inside Claude Code / Codex / any MCP host.
While your AI coding tool waits for prompts, replen reads your code against the ecosystem every morning. This MCP lets the agent act on the results without leaving chat:
replen ships 15 tools. Three moving parts sit behind them: Brainstem matches, Watchtower watches, Atlas remembers. The tools group under Brainstem, Atlas, and onboarding.
| Tool | Returns |
|---|---|
replen_match | The cwd repo's candidate inventory: repo metadata + cosine scores + whyShortlisted lines, everything Watchtower surfaced and Brainstem scored against this codebase's capabilities |
replen_record_triage | Records the agent's per-candidate verdict (adopt / port / cherry-pick / clean-room / upgrade / skip / defer) with score, effort, and reasoning |
replen_state | Records the user's action on a candidate: star / hide / handoff / surfaced |
replen_capture_insight | Stores a portfolio insight from triage: a transferable lesson or a sharpened boundary |
| Tool | Returns |
|---|---|
replen_leaps | Non-obvious cross-project / adjacency / cross-user connections from Atlas, each with a via path |
replen_recall | Memory across your whole portfolio: past verdicts, grounded reports, capabilities, and notes for a query |
replen_cart | Pulls a saved or built-in Atlas Cart's rows in-session (Blind spots, Triage board, Keystones, Brought in, Stale deferrals, By domain, or your saved carts) |
replen_queue | The awareness-to-action queue: list / add / done / dismiss items carried over from the Brief |
replen_handoff | Opens a handoff PR in the matched project's repo |
| Tool | Returns |
|---|---|
replen_onboard_state | Per-repo grounding state across the portfolio, the cheap pre-flight for /replen-onboard |
replen_set_capabilities | Writes a project's grounded capabilities + report (read locally by the agent, never uploaded as raw files) |
replen_set_tags | Writes a project's ranked domain tag cloud |
replen_set_versions | Writes a project's pinned direct-dependency + runtime versions |
replen_set_product | Groups sibling repos under one product |
Plus replen_help, the tool index.
The core tool is replen_match: it returns the cwd repo's candidate inventory (metadata + cosine + whyShortlisted) with no LLM call on our side, so the host agent reasons about fit against your actual open codebase in context, then records each call via replen_record_triage. Atlas now has two halves: the graph/explore view and Carts, browsable filterable views over your decision graph that replen_cart reads in-session.
Get your token from your replen /settings page → "Connect Claude Code", then run:
npx -y @replen/mcp setup --token=ing_xxxxxxxx --base=https://app.replen.dev
That writes the MCP entry into ~/.claude.json (with a backup of the original) and is fully idempotent - re-run it any time you rotate the token.
Restart Claude Code to pick up the new server.
