Scan your codebase into an interactive architecture diagram (endpoints, call graph, databases). Shared AI context layer over MCP so Claude, Cursor & co. work from the same living map of your project.
Installation
Launch VS Code Quick Open (Ctrl+P), paste the following command, and press enter.
Architecture diagrams of your codebase, in your editor, plus a shared
context layer your AI assistants read over MCP. Talks to your Archlore
server (https://app.archlore.dev by default; point at your own via the
archlore.serverUrl setting).
What it does
Scan the workspace with the built-in TypeScript/JavaScript scanner.
Endpoints, call graph, database tables and external calls land in
.archlore/state.yaml and are published to your Archlore project.
Diagram the result inside VS Code: nested schematic, graph with
swim-lanes, database ERD. Click a node to jump to its source.
Enrich with AI to fill in missing function descriptions. Runs on
the server against your AI balance and resumes if the connection drops.
Connect any AI (Claude Code, Cursor, any MCP client) to the same
living map, and write the rules file that teaches it to use it.
Add .archlore/ to your .gitignore: the scan holds your function bodies.
