Integration

MCP Server

Feed persona-aware onboarding context directly into Claude Code or any MCP-compatible editor. One command, zero copy-paste.

Quick Start

Add onboard to your MCP configuration. Works with stdio transport.

// claude_desktop_config.json or .cursor/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "onboard": {
      "command": "onboard",
      "args": ["--mcp"],
      "env": {
        "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": "your-api-key"
      }
    }
  }
}
        

Available Tools

Once connected, your editor gains these tools.

onboard_repo

Generate a full onboarding guide for any repository. Pass a GitHub URL, owner/repo slug, or local path along with a persona description. Returns structured sections covering architecture, key files, conventions, and recommended first steps.

analyze_risk_zones

Identify high-churn, multi-author files that are risky for first contributions. Persona-aware: an SRE sees production hotspots, a new grad sees complexity traps, a security reviewer sees attack surfaces.

Usage in Claude Code

# Claude Code will automatically discover the onboard tools
# Just ask naturally:

$ claude
"Onboard me to this repo as a new backend engineer"

# Or be specific:
"Use onboard to analyze risk zones in vercel/next.js for a security auditor"
