RepoRelay: Bridge Lets ChatGPT Web Inspect Local Folders Without Uploads
Lucaslogged · reddit · 2026-08-31
The author open-sourced RepoRelay, an MCP-based bridge that allows ChatGPT Web to search and read approved local repositories without uploading ZIPs or pushing code to GitHub.
How It Works:
- Architecture: ChatGPT Web → Secure MCP Tunnel → RepoRelay → Local Files.
- Security: Read-only by default; no shell, Git, or arbitrary filesystem access; restricted to one approved root.
- Cost Optimization: Reduces token usage on larger repos by searching and reading only relevant files instead of dumping the entire codebase into context.
- Use Case: Useful for having Codex implement locally while ChatGPT reviews actual current files, including uncommitted work.
