Ripwire

Red Hat's "ripgrep for AI context" — a C++23 zero-dependency CLI that also speaks MCP.

From Red Hat's emerging-tech team: a fast, dependency-free C++23 tool that maps a codebase into the context LLM agents need — the local, code-graph-flavored complement to hosted context services like Context7 or Firecrawl. Ships as both a plain CLI (pipe into any agent) and an MCP server, so Claude Code can query it directly. Active development, pushed the day this was added.

What it does

  • C++ codebase-context engine: builds ranked symbol maps so agents spend fewer tokens exploring
  • One stdio server with 33 verbs (reads, reflexive edits, span-addressed edits)
  • `ripwire wrap <agent>` emits the exact config stanza for claude/cursor/windsurf/gemini/aider
  • Ships 17 agent skills auto-activated per detected agent on install

When to use it

For large C++ codebases where Claude burns context grepping: ripwire gives ranked, span-addressable symbol maps plus targeted edits instead of whole-file rewrites.

Getting started

Prebuilt installer (macOS arm64 / Linux; SHA-256 verified):

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/redhat-et/ripwire/main/install.sh | sh

Then emit your client's config:

ripwire wrap claude        # prints the mcpServers stanza

Or wire manually:

{
  "ripwire": { "command": "ripwire", "args": ["--mcp"] }
}

Things to know

Prebuilt binaries cover macOS arm64 and Linux (glibc RHEL 8+); Intel macOS must build from source (last Intel release was 0.6.1). Windows unsupported. It's a focused tool — value shows on big native codebases, not small scripts.
