Evidence

Things with no honest explanation: a promise that contradicts the code, code that runs at install time while hiding what it does, data leaving the machine.

Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

Runs a command on install [пакет] package.json:1
setup.py: выполняет код при установке пакета
File ships in the package but is absent from the source [пакет] codna/agent-core/run-server.mjs:1, [пакет] codna/agent-core/run-server.stub.mjs:1
этот файл ставится пользователю, но в репозитории его нет
        path = os.path.join(root, rel)
Runs an external command [пакет] codna/agent-core/run-server.mjs:65
    child = spawn(command, childArgs, { cwd: DIR, env: childEnv(), stdio: "inherit" });
Reads files and sends them to the network codna/memory.py:952, [пакет] codna/memory.py:952
        size = sum(os.path.getsize(os.path.join(r, f)) for r, _, fs in os.walk(out) for f in fs)

We found things in this code

Code changes quietly between releases, and nobody reads the diff of a dependency. We do, on every release — watch Codna — repository intelligence and you get told the day something new turns up.

This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above: ANTHROPIC_API_KEY (Provider key for codna_fix's planner — any one of ANTHROPIC_API_KEY (Anthropic), OPENAI_API_KEY (OpenAI/ChatGPT), or GEMINI_API_KEY (Gemini) works (or store one with `codna key set <provider>`). Every tool also requires the one-time free `codna login` device authorization before executing; introspection (initialize/tools/list) needs no credentials), OPENAI_API_KEY (Alternative provider key (OpenAI/ChatGPT) for codna_fix's planner — see ANTHROPIC_API_KEY), GEMINI_API_KEY (Alternative provider key (Gemini) for codna_fix's planner — see ANTHROPIC_API_KEY), GITHUB_TOKEN (Write token, only for codna_fix with open_pr=true (opens a pull request) and codna_report_bug (files an issue)), CODNA_API_KEY (Codna key from the one-time free `codna login` (device authorization, free community license). Required to execute any of the five tools; introspection (initialize/tools/list) needs none).

Codna — repository intelligence — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Codna — repository intelligence?
Codna — repository intelligence runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the pypi package codna was installed 11 271 times last week.
How do I connect Codna — repository intelligence?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls codna straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Codna — repository intelligence?
The pypi package codna was installed 11 271 times in the last week. Week over week that is +396%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Codna — repository intelligence open source?
Yes — it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in Python and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
