ripwire
The ripgrep of AI context: a zero-dependency C++23 CLI + MCP server for coding agents. Find what you want without reading the repo, then check you built what you meant — blast radius, tests-to-run, quality deltas. Signatures at 74.7% fewer bytes than bodies; every guess labelled, every loss published. Paddle out with a map.

ripwire is a zero-dependency C++23 CLI and MCP server that gives coding agents compact code context, using tree-sitter-based static analysis to produce call graphs and signature summaries instead of full file bodies. It also reports blast radius, suggested tests to run, and quality deltas so agents can verify what they changed.
Use it when you want an agent to navigate and reason about a codebase from terse, labelled signatures rather than reading whole repositories.
Use it to
- Feed compact code signatures to an LLM coding agent
- Run it as an MCP server alongside Claude Code or Codex
- Check blast radius and tests-to-run after edits
- Navigate call graphs without reading the repo
- Generate AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md context files
