Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "repolens": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@chappibunny/repolens"
      ],
      "env": {
        "REPOLENS_WORKSPACE": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add repolens --env REPOLENS_WORKSPACE=your-value -- npx -y @chappibunny/repolens

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "repolens": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@chappibunny/repolens"
      ],
      "env": {
        "REPOLENS_WORKSPACE": "your-value"

Common questions

Is RepoLens safe?

It passed 1 of 1 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 on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.16.2) reached the registry 4 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

Your architecture docs are already outdated. RepoLens fixes that.

RepoLens scans your repository, generates living architecture documentation, and publishes it to Notion, Confluence, GitHub Wiki, Obsidian, or Markdown — automatically on every push. Engineers get technical docs. Stakeholders get readable system overviews. Nobody writes a word.

Stable as of v1.0 — API guarantees · Security hardened · version from package.json

🎬 Demo

Try it now — no installation required. npx @chappibunny/repolens demo previews the repository you point it at. It detects common languages (Python, Go, Rust, Java, JavaScript/TypeScript, and others). If the scan matches no source files, demo exits 2 and does not write empty docs. Code health scores JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, and Go.

[See it on real repos](https://chapibunny.github.io/repolens/) — architecture pages RepoLens generated for Express, FastAPI, Django, Gin, mdBook, and other public projects. Deterministic mode, no API keys.

🎬 [Watch Demo Video](https://www.loom.com/share/8e077624e69f41319fd93acbbe03871e) — See RepoLens generate docs in 60 seconds

Notion Confluence

🔍 Supported Languages (16 auto-detected)

JavaScript TypeScript Python Go Rust Java C C++ C# Ruby PHP Swift Kotlin Scala Shell SQL

Plus framework detection: Django · FastAPI · Flask · Gin · Echo · Fiber · Actix · Rocket — and all major JS frameworks (React, Next.js, Vue, Angular, Express, NestJS, Svelte, etc.)

🚀 Quick Start (60 seconds)

Step 1: Install (Node.js 18+)

npm install @chappibunny/repolens

Step 2: Initialize (creates config + GitHub Actions workflow)

npx @chappibunny/repolens init

Step 3: Configure Publishing (optional, skip if using Markdown only)

For Notion:

# Edit .env and add:

NOTION_TOKEN=secret_xxx NOTION_PARENT_PAGE_ID=xxx

For Confluence:

# Edit .env and add:

CONFLUENCE_URL=https://your-company.atlassian.net/wiki CONFLUENCE_EMAIL=your-email@example.com CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN=your-token CONFLUENCE_SPACE_KEY=DOCS

Step 4: Publish

npx @chappibunny/repolens publish

Done! Numbered notes and the Markdown publisher’s files are in .repolens/. Notion, Confluence, GitHub Wiki, and Obsidian publish only when you configure them. Obsidian needs obsidian.vault in .repolens.yml and does not use an API key.

🔄 Upgrading from v0.3.0 or earlier? Run npx @chappibunny/repolens migrate to automatically update your workflow files. See MIGRATION.md for details.

📋 What It Generates

17 document types for three audiences — no manual writing required. Route Map and GraphQL Schema are skipped when the repository has no routes or GraphQL schema:

Audience	Documents
Stakeholders	Executive Summary
Mixed	System Overview · Business Domains · Route Map · Data Flows · Change Impact · System Map · Architecture Drift · Code Health
Engineers	Architecture Overview · Module Catalog · API Surface · Developer Onboarding · GraphQL Schema · TypeScript Type Graph · Dependency Graph · Security Hotspots

Two modes: Deterministic (free, fast, always works) or AI-Enhanced (optional — GitHub Models, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Azure, Ollama).

✨ Why RepoLens


🤖 Autonomous	Runs on every push via GitHub Actions — docs stay evergreen
👥 Multi-Audience	Technical docs + stakeholder-readable overviews from one scan
📤 Multi-Publisher	Notion, Confluence, GitHub Wiki, Obsidian, Markdown — together or one at a time
🗺️ Shows what you didn't ask	An LLM only answers the question it is given, and a newcomer doesn't know what to ask. RepoLens publishes the whole map (every module, cycle and hub) on every PR, the same way each time, with no tokens spent per question
🧠 AI-Assisted	Optional AI with zero-hallucination policy (structured context only)
🔍 Smart Detection	Frameworks, domains, data flows, dependencies, drift — all automatic
🔌 Extensible	Plugin system for custom renderers, publishers, and hooks
🛡️ Secure	Secret detection, injection prevention, rate limiting, supply chain hardening
⚡ Fast	Handles repos up to 50k files with performance guardrails

🎮 Commands

Command	Description
`npx @chappibunny/repolens`	Show help. A bare invocation does not publish
`npx @chappibunny/repolens init`	Interactive wizard — configure publishers, AI, credentials
`npx @chappibunny/repolens init --quick`	Markdown-only setup. Globs follow the detected language
`npx @chappibunny/repolens init --help`	Flags for that command. Same pattern for every command below
`npx @chappibunny/repolens publish`	Scan, generate, and publish documentation
`npx @chappibunny/repolens publish --strict`	Exit 2 when a configured publisher is missing credentials
`npx @chappibunny/repolens demo`	Local preview — no API keys. Exits 2 when 0 files match
`npx @chappibunny/repolens doctor`	Validate your setup, including that scan globs match files
`npx @chappibunny/repolens watch`	Auto-regenerate docs on file changes. Exits 2 if `module_roots` are missing or `scan.include` matches no files
`npx @chappibunny/repolens migrate`	Upgrade from v0.3.0 workflows (details)
`npx @chappibunny/repolens uninstall`	Remove all RepoLens files (config, docs, workflow)
`npx @chappibunny/repolens uninstall --force`	Remove without confirmation prompt
`npx @chappibunny/repolens feedback`	Send feedback to the team
`npx @chappibunny/repolens mcp`	Start the stdio MCP server (`repolens-mcp` is the same server)
`npx @chappibunny/repolens badge`	shields.io code-health JSON, SVG, or markdown. Exits 2 when nothing is scored
`npx @chappibunny/repolens comment --base --head`	Architecture diff (files, modules, dependencies, health delta, new hotspots)
`npx @chappibunny/repolens app`	Self-host the GitHub App webhook. `--manifest` prints the manifest

Note: If you installed globally with npm install -g @chappibunny/repolens, you can use the shorter repolens form. Init's next-steps text uses that shorter form when the command on your PATH is the global install.

Warning: Do not run bare npx repolens — there is an unrelated repolens@0.0.1 placeholder package on npm. Always use the scoped name @chappibunny/repolens.

Exit codes

Code	Meaning
`0`	Success, including a cancelled wizard or help with no other work
`1`	Runtime error, or an unknown command
`2`	Invalid flags, missing config, target directory not found, a failed `doctor` check (including 0 files matched), `demo` or `publish` scanned 0 files, `watch` has nothing to watch (missing `module_roots`, or `scan.include` matches no files), `badge` scored 0 source files, `comment` is missing a base or head ref, `publish --strict` is missing publisher credentials, `app` is missing its id, webhook secret, or private key, or `feedback` has no terminal

--target must already exist. A missing path exits 2 with Target directory not found: before any scan. repolens --help prints that command's flags. The ASCII banner is omitted when stdout is not a terminal or CI is set.

MCP server

Cursor, Cline, Claude Desktop, Claude Code, and VS Code Copilot can call RepoLens over stdio. The server is read-only except for generate_docs, which writes Markdown inside the workspace. Deterministic mode does not use the network. Paths cannot leave the workspace root.
