Moxie Docs indexes your GitHub repos, generates convention-grounded docs, detects doc drift on every merge, and serves an MCP for coding agents.

Merge-triggered Re-indexing: Every merge triggers a fresh index pass so documentation stays synchronized with the current state of the repo.
Grounded Convention Docs: Generates architecture and convention documentation grounded in the actual source, with deep symbol and import-graph analysis for TypeScript, JavaScript, and Python.
Documentation Drift Detection: Flags pages affected by code changes and regenerates stale documentation with cited diffs so reviewers see what changed and why.
Friday Cleanup PRs: Pro and Team plans automatically open weekly docs-only pull requests so keeping docs current becomes a bounded review, not a rewrite project.
MCP Context Server: Exposes an MCP server so Cursor, Claude Code, and Codex pull verified conventions from Moxie instead of re-crawling the repo each session.
Free Browser-based Doc Utilities: README, AGENTS.md, ADR, .cursorrules, CLAUDE.md, .windsurfrules, Mermaid, SQL-to-ER, and llms.txt generators run in the browser with no account.
Scoped GitHub App: Access is scoped to the repos you select, tokens are encrypted server-side, and code is used only to generate documentation and MCP context.
Broad Language Support: Documentation and search work on any GitHub repo, with recognition for TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Go, Rust, Ruby, Java, PHP, SQL, Svelte, Vue, Kotlin, Swift, Elixir, and Zig.

Automating living docs: Point Moxie at a private repo so architecture and convention docs stay grounded in the current code without manual rewrites.
Feeding Cursor and Claude Code: Connect the MCP server so coding agents pull verified conventions from Moxie instead of re-crawling the codebase.
Onboarding new engineers: Give a new hire a searchable, always-fresh guide to the codebase with symbol and import-graph context.
Catching doc drift on merge: Fail loudly when a merged PR leaves documentation stale, with cited diffs pointing to what needs to change.
Weekly docs cleanup review: Merge the Friday Cleanup PR each week to keep documentation current as a bounded, review-only workflow.
One-off doc generation: Use the free browser-based generators to draft an AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, or llms.txt without signing up.
SQL data-model diagrams: Paste CREATE TABLE SQL to get a live Mermaid ER diagram and optional AI data-model docs.
Cursor Rules authoring: Draft a structured .cursorrules file with live preview and shareable export.

Open-source integration infrastructure for AI agents — 800+ OAuth-connected APIs, sandboxed runtimes, and dev/staging/prod promotion via MCP.

800+ OAuth Integrations: One connection lets agents call Salesforce, Stripe, Slack, HubSpot, Notion, GitHub, Linear, Zendesk and hundreds more via the Nango catalog.
MCP-Native Interface: Agents connect to mcp.velane.sh and drive discovery, code generation, execution, and deployment through a single MCP server.
Bun & Python Sandboxes: Every invocation runs in an isolated ephemeral runtime, so agent code can be tested safely without touching production state.
Dev / Staging / Prod Environments: Promote workflows through three environments with agent-issued publish_snippet calls and stable versioned HTTP endpoints.
Shared Credential Store: One OAuth connection per provider is reused across every team member's agent — no secret ever appears in code.
Invocation Logs & Audit Trail: Per-tenant execution logs let agents call get_logs to debug failures and give teams a full audit history.
Role-Based Access: Invoke, manage, and admin scopes control what each teammate's agent is allowed to do.
Self-Host or Hosted: Run Velane on your own infrastructure under AGPL-3.0 or use the managed mcp.velane.sh endpoint.

Agent-Built Stripe→HubSpot Automations: An agent in Cursor writes a Bun workflow that reads Stripe customers and pushes them into HubSpot, tests it in dev, and promotes to prod in one conversation.
Solo Developer Shipping SaaS Integrations: A single developer wires up Slack, Notion, and GitHub actions without maintaining an OAuth backend.
Multi-Tenant B2B Agent Products: A team runs Velane per tenant so each customer's agent has isolated credentials, sandboxes, and audit logs.
Safe Refactors of Live Workflows: Deploy a new version of a workflow to staging, verify with logs, then roll to prod with instant rollback.
MCP-First Prototyping: Prototype an entire integration pipeline from an IDE chat without spinning up backend infrastructure.
