Click on "Deploy Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@codebase-doc-generator Generate docs for the project at /path/to/codebase"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
Point it at any codebase. Get complete documentation. Architecture overview, dependency graph, API surface, and a ready-to-use README -- all generated locally with zero external APIs.
You spend hours writing documentation that goes stale in a week. This tool reads your code and generates accurate docs in seconds. It also reduces LLM context window usage by 70% -- feed the generated summary to your AI instead of your entire codebase.
