Everything you need
to keep docs healthy

Three free tools, two powerful Pro capabilities. Plug into your workflow via MCP.

Free
scan_repo

Scan a repo and list stale doc files with staleness percentage from 0–100%. Know exactly where rot lives.

Free
query_docs

Answer natural-language questions about your codebase using its doc comments. Ask Claude what a module does.

Free
suggest_doc_update

Ask Claude to rewrite a stale doc comment with an updated, accurate description based on the current code.

Pro
sync_confluence

Write updated docs back to Confluence pages automatically. Creates pages if they don't exist.

Pro
scan_org

Scan all repos in a GitHub org and return an org-wide staleness report. Track documentation health at scale.

Pro
write_docs

Write Claude-generated docs to docs/<File>.md with a UTC timestamp on every run. Builds a full audit trail of doc history inside your repo.

// how it works

From stale to sharp
in three steps

01
Install & connect

Install via dotnet tool install. Add your MCP config to Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or VS Code. Takes under 2 minutes.

02
Scan for staleness

LivingDocs compares when doc comments were last updated vs when code changed. Returns a staleness score per file.

03
Claude writes the fix

Ask Claude to suggest or directly apply doc updates. It reads the current code and rewrites comments to match reality.

// install
