Common questions

Is GitDiagram safe?

It passed 4 of 4 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed 3 days ago, and the latest version (1.0.0) reached the registry last month.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT on the web (full MCP on Business and above; Pro read-only).

What can I use instead?

GitDiagram

Visualize any codebase: turn any public or private GitHub repository into an interactive architecture diagram, or watch it explained in a one-minute narrated video. AI agents can use it too, through the MCP server or the Markdown version of any diagram (gitdiagram.com/owner/repo.md).

[Try GitDiagram →](https://gitdiagram.com/) · Or replace hub with diagram in any GitHub repository URL.

New: explainer videos

GitDiagram can now turn a repository into a narrated video of about a minute. The video starts with what the project is for and what people do with it, then shows briefly how its main parts fit together and one decision under the hood.

[Watch the gallery →](https://gitdiagram.com/videos) or add /video to any diagram URL, such as gitdiagram.com/owner/repo/video.
Download an MP4 in landscape or vertical (9:16), with captions burned in.
Making new videos is in early access. Anyone can watch videos that already exist.

Features

Watch a repository explained in a narrated video, or press Video on any diagram page.
Explore the architecture with an AI-generated diagram and streamed explanation.
Jump to the code by clicking any component's linked file or directory.
Use private repositories with a GitHub token via Private Repos in the header.
Export diagrams as PNG or copy the Mermaid source.

Use GitDiagram from AI agents

GitDiagram is a remote MCP server at https://gitdiagram.com/mcp (no key or sign-in). Agents can read a public repository's architecture explanation, components, connections and Mermaid source, search the stored diagrams, and get explainer videos.

# Claude Code: the plugin adds the MCP server and a /gitdiagram skill

claude plugin marketplace add ahmedkhaleel2004/gitdiagram claude plugin install gitdiagram@gitdiagram

...or just the MCP server

claude mcp add --transport http gitdiagram https://gitdiagram.com/mcp

Gemini CLI

gemini extensions install https://github.com/ahmedkhaleel2004/gitdiagram

GitHub Copilot CLI

copilot mcp add --transport http gitdiagram https://gitdiagram.com/mcp

In other clients (ChatGPT, Windsurf, Zed, LM Studio, Goose and more), add a remote MCP server with the URL https://gitdiagram.com/mcp. Then ask something like "how is fastapi/fastapi structured?".

Run locally

Requires Bun, Cloudflare R2, Upstash Redis, and an OpenAI or OpenRouter API key. See the setup guide for prerequisites and configuration.

git clone https://github.com/ahmedkhaleel2004/gitdiagram.git

cd gitdiagram bun install cp .env.example .env

Fill in .env using the configuration guide, then start the app:

bun run dev

Open localhost:3000.

Explainer videos are off by default. To turn them on, set VIDEO_EXPLAINER_ENABLED=1, NEXT_PUBLIC_VIDEO_EXPLAINER=1, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, OPENAI_API_KEY and OPENROUTER_API_KEY (for the voice) in .env. See .env.example for the other video settings.

Development

Built with Next.js, React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and Mermaid. Videos use Claude or GPT for the script and scenes and OpenRouter (Gemini 3.8 Flash TTS) for the voice. Deployed on Cloudflare Workers.
