repos-devtools-server

Local HTTP API bound to 127.0.0.1 for git operations under REPOS_DEVTOOLS_ROOT (default /home/ncantu/code).

Environment

Variable Required Description
REPOS_DEVTOOLS_TOKEN yes Shared secret; clients send Authorization: Bearer <token>.
REPOS_DEVTOOLS_ROOT no Absolute root for clones (default /home/ncantu/code).
REPOS_DEVTOOLS_HOST no Bind address (default 127.0.0.1).
REPOS_DEVTOOLS_PORT no Port (default 37140).

Endpoints

  • POST /repos-clone — JSON { "url": "<git url>", "branch": "test" } (branch optional, default test).
  • GET /repos-list — Lists immediate subdirectories of the root that contain .git.
  • POST /repos-load — JSON { "name": "<folder name>" } — Verifies the repo exists; returns absolute path.

All endpoints require Authorization: Bearer <REPOS_DEVTOOLS_TOKEN>.

Run

One-off (foreground)

cd services/repos-devtools-server
npm install
npm run build
# Create .env (gitignored) with REPOS_DEVTOOLS_TOKEN=... and REPOS_DEVTOOLS_ROOT=/home/ncantu/code
set -a && source .env && set +a && node dist/server.js

systemd (user)

Copy systemd/user/repos-devtools-server.service to ~/.config/systemd/user/, create .env beside this README, then:

systemctl --user daemon-reload
systemctl --user enable --now repos-devtools-server.service

Use the same token in the VS Code / Cursor setting anythingllm.reposApiToken.

Integration

The AnythingLLM Workspaces extension command AnythingLLM: Dev tools panel calls this API and the AnythingLLM HTTP API for workspace create/list.
