Exploring Codebases with GitNexus

When to Use

• "How does authentication work?"
• "What's the project structure?"
• "Show me the main components"
• "Where is the database logic?"
• Understanding code you haven't seen before

Bind the repository first

Bind once per session using a confirmed registry name/path or configured MCP default; reuse it. Call list_repos {} when the target is not yet known, not before every question. Never guess the registry name from the checkout directory. With one indexed repository, use the examples below as written. With more than one, pass repo on every call: an omitted repo normally errors, but under an MCP policy with a configured default it resolves to that default silently. If you cannot tell which repository is meant, stop and ask. Report the bound repository and index freshness alongside your explanation.
