Show HN: Repotruck – Mirror and organize GitHub repos with a TUI and MCP server

A developer released Repotruck, an open-source tool that mirrors and organizes GitHub repositories through an interactive terminal UI and a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server on stdio. The MCP server exposes workspace tools to coding agents — listing and searching repositories, resolving owner/name or alias to an absolute path, reading AGENTS.md, and running sync, clone, create, move and reorganize — and can be added to Claude Code with `claude mcp add repotruck -- repotruck mcp`. Repotruck authenticates via the GitHub CLI's token, a cached device-flow token, or a device flow when REPOTRUCK_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID is set, and keeps tokens out of workspace files and .git/config by using a one-shot credential header and resetting the clone origin to the clean HTTPS URL.

The GitHub CLI is preferred: run gh auth login once and repotruck picks up its token. Without gh, repotruck falls back to a cached device-flow token, or starts a device flow when REPOTRUCK OAUTH CLIENT ID is set an OAuth App client ID; no callback URL needed . Tokens are never written into workspace files or .git/config. Clones and pulls use a one-shot credential header, the clone origin is reset to the clean HTTPS URL immediately, and failures print the first error line with the token redacted. It is a machine-readable map of the workspace for coding agents: metadata preset, last sync, counts , the internal/community split with relative paths, and agent rules independent Git projects, search exclusions, community repos are read-only . It is rewritten on every sync, clone, move and create. Yes. repotruck mcp runs a Model Context Protocol server on stdio that exposes the workspace as agent tools: list and search repositories, resolve owner/name or alias to an absolute path, read AGENTS.md, and run sync, clone, create, move and reorganize. Add it to Claude Code with claude mcp add repotruck -- repotruck mcp , or to any MCP client's mcpServers config with command npx and args "-y", "repotruck", "mcp" . No. The preset affects new clones and creates only. To re-file existing repositories, run repotruck reorganize <preset — preview it with --dry-run and spare manually placed repositories with --keep-custom. The interactive dashboard needs Node.js = 26.4 or Bun = 1.3.14. The headless CLI commands run on Node.js = 20. git must be on your PATH; the GitHub CLI is optional but is the easiest authentication path.
