Overview
AutomaDocs reads your GitHub code, writes docs that re-sync on every push, and answers questions with the exact source lines. Cursor and Claude Code read the same docs over MCP.
See it on real code
No signup. You watch the docs get written, then ask the repo a question.
Free for 1 repository, no credit card. Pro $49/month, Team $149/month. Compare plans
Versus
It is a good free way to browse public repos. This is where we differ.
DeepWiki is free on public repos. For private code it asks for a Devin account. AutomaDocs connects with the GitHub account you already use.
Docs re-sync when you push, and answers cite the exact source lines so you can check them before you rely on them.
An MCP server lets Cursor and Claude Code read the docs. A CLI and GitHub Action can gate doc coverage in CI.
01
Workflow
A shared reference for the questions your team keeps asking. Connect the source, review the docs, and keep them current.
02
Citations
Repo chat connects its answers to source files and line numbers. Open the reference to check the details before acting.

function calculateSubtotal(items) { return items.reduce((total, item) => { return total + item.price * item.quantity; }, 0);}Repo chat
The reduction starts at zero, so an empty list returns 0.

Surfaces
Engineers shouldn't have to switch contexts to find answers. AutomaDocs exposes an MCP server, CLI, and GitHub Action so your docs live where you write code.
Webhook signatures are verified in backend/src/routes/billing.js. The raw request body is preserved by the Next.js API route proxy before checking the stripe-signature header against your webhook secret.

FAQ
What teams ask before connecting their first repo.
Yes, we retain generated documentation and analyzed code fragments needed for search and source-backed answers. That data is scoped to the repository you connect, is not shared with other customers, and is removed when you delete the repository. See our Privacy Policy for retention details.
JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Go, Rust, and Java have full AST parsing via Tree-sitter, which powers the deepest documentation and code navigation. Other languages get best-effort support: Claude AI can still read and describe source files, but without the structured AST analysis those six get.
We register a GitHub webhook on your repository. When you push code, GitHub notifies AutomaDocs and we regenerate documentation for changed files. The process typically completes in under 2 minutes.
Yes. All plans support private repositories. We use GitHub OAuth with the minimum required scopes - read access to your code and permission to register webhooks.
You ask in plain language; we search your generated docs and code context, then answer with links to files and line numbers. Under the hood we combine keyword and semantic search (hybrid retrieval) so answers stay grounded in your repo.
No. AutomaDocs is self-serve: documentation, FAQ, and status first. For bugs or billing, email hello@automadocs.com. We reply when we can, usually within a few business days. There is no 24/7 phone line, SLA, or account manager.
