GitHub user ankitzm created a discussion: MCP to help OSS devs understand apache/airflow
Hey apache/airflow folks, airflow is a big codebase, and I noticed newcomers are mostly confused about where to start. Digging through codebase through any AI agent will burn a lot of tokens for simplest task as it uses complete repo context. I maintain [bytebell/open-ir](https://github.com/ByteBell/open-ir), an open-source tool that builds a cross-repo dependency + call graph of a codebase and serves it over MCP so devs can just *ask* how the code fits together. Quick demo (MCP in action): https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/c24b0b81-c618-4f15-a3a7-b0de25894563 If this post gets 15+ 👍 from maintainers/devs, I'll index airflow and stand up a free hosted MCP endpoint for contributors. What this is and isn't: - It helps contributors understand the code and answer their questions on codebase. - It does NOT auto-file issues or PRs. Nothing touches your tracker. - Free for the project, completely opt-in - Reduces the overhead of juggling through files. - Helps AI agent to generate code with better context If that's interesting I'm happy to run it for the OSS community for `apache/airflow`. — Ankit Singh GitHub link: https://github.com/apache/airflow/discussions/68446 ---- This is an automatically sent email for [email protected].
