Searchable codebase docs
Connect a selected GitHub repository and generate searchable documentation from the code that is already there, with source-cited pages that stay tied to the repo.
Moxie Docs
Moxie Docs turns selected GitHub repositories into searchable, source-cited docs and MCP-ready context for AI coding agents. It helps teams onboard faster, keep docs current, and review docs changes through pull requests.
Automated documentation for GitHub repositories
Moxie Docs is a GitHub-connected documentation tool that turns private repositories into searchable codebase docs and MCP-ready context for AI coding agents. It reads a selected repo, generates source-cited documentation, and keeps that documentation aligned as the code changes.
The product is built around a review-first workflow: docs updates are proposed as pull requests, drift is checked on every merge, and a Friday cleanup process groups missed documentation into a small, reviewable PR. Pricing is trial-based, with a 14-day trial before the paid plan starts.
Core capabilities
MCP-ready AI context
Expose repo conventions, known gaps, and verified commands through MCP so agents can use compact, scoped context instead of re-crawling the repository on every prompt.
Drift detection and regeneration
Flag stale or missing documentation when code changes, then regenerate affected pages so the documentation stays aligned with merges.
Friday Cleanup PRs
Open docs-only Cleanup PRs that collect a week of drift into one reviewable change, instead of changing docs piecemeal.
Friday Recaps and PR checks
Summarize merges and surface documentation impact so teams can review what changed and what still needs attention.
Review-first workflow
Keep documentation changes reviewable by proposing them as pull requests rather than merging automatically.
Common use cases
Onboarding into an unfamiliar repo
Give a new engineer searchable architecture pages, walkthroughs, glossary entries, and saved notes so they can answer repo questions without relying on ad hoc help.
Supplying AI agents with repo context
Provide Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, and similar tools with repo conventions, commands, known boundaries, and source-linked docs before they edit code.
Ongoing documentation upkeep
Keep docs current by checking every merge for drift, then turning missed updates into a reviewable docs-only Cleanup PR.
Tracking documentation gaps and drift
Help maintainers and engineering leads see documentation gaps, changed behavior, and weekly merge impact at a glance.
Searching a codebase knowledge base
Let teams search generated docs, existing Markdown, highlights, and notes from one workspace instead of jumping across files and tools.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Generates source-cited documentation from an actual repository rather than requiring manual wiki upkeep.
- Provides MCP context for AI coding agents, with conventions and verified commands scoped to the repo.
- Checks documentation drift on merges and keeps updates reviewable through pull requests.
- Supports a trial on a real repo before the first charge, which lowers setup risk.
Cons
- The product is centered on GitHub repositories, so it is not positioned as a general-purpose documentation system for non-GitHub sources.
- Advanced benefits such as Cleanup PRs, weekly recaps, and larger repository limits vary by plan, so smaller teams may not need the higher tiers.
FAQ
How does the 14-day trial work?
Moxie Docs starts with a 14-day trial. You connect a GitHub repo, index a real repository, and use generated docs, search, gap detection, and MCP context during the trial. You can cancel before it ends and avoid being billed.
Can I pay annually?
Yes. Plans can be billed monthly or annually, and annual billing is priced at two months free compared with monthly billing. The pricing page lists annual rates for Starter, Pro, and Team, and billing can be switched in the portal.
What access does Moxie Docs need to my GitHub repositories?
Moxie Docs connects through a GitHub App with read-only access scoped to the repositories you select. Documentation changes are proposed as pull requests, and your team reviews and merges them.
What is the difference between the Starter, Pro, and Team plans?
Starter is aimed at a solo builder, Pro at a growing team, and Team at an organization with more repositories and seats. The plans differ mainly by repository limits, seat limits, indexed file capacity, and whether Friday Cleanup and priority indexing are included.
Can AI coding agents use Moxie Docs?
Yes. Every plan includes the MCP context endpoint, so MCP-compatible agents and editors can pull repo conventions, docs, and verified context while they work.
