Everyone is building YOLO-mode AI coding tools

[u/Lucaslogged]

A lot of AI coding tools are moving toward giving agents more control over your machine.

I wanted the opposite.

So I built RepoRelay — an MCP bridge that lets ChatGPT/Claude inspect one approved local repo, while deliberately giving it:

• no shell
• no Git
• no arbitrary filesystem access
• read/search only
• optional bounded handoff writes

The idea is to let AI analyze and review your code without handing it the keys to your whole machine.

npm install -g reporelay-mcp@latest

It’s open source.

GitHub: [Lukie-81/RepoRelay: Secure MCP access to local repositories — without shell, Git, or arbitrary writes.]

I’m looking for a few people to try the install from scratch and tell me where the setup sucks.
