API Documentation
Once the backend is running, you can access the API documentation at:
- Swagger UI: http://localhost:8020/docs
- ReDoc: http://localhost:8020/redoc
Command-Line Tools
The application includes two command-line tools:
Add Server Tool
This tool allows you to add Git repositories to the database:
python backend/add_server.py https://github.com/username/repo.git
Optional arguments:
- --name: Custom name for the repository
- --description: Custom description for the repository
- --command: Custom command for running the repository
- --args: Custom arguments for the command
Configuration Tool
This tool provides functionality to manage the configuration:
python backend/cli.py generate-yaml
Available commands:
- generate-yaml: Generate a YAML configuration file
- -o, --output: Specify the output file path
- -p, --print: Print the YAML to stdout
- list: List all repositories in the database
Development Notes
- The OpenAI API key is hardcoded in backend/app/services/openai_service.py. In a production environment, this should be replaced with an environment variable.
- Repository data is stored in Qdrant vector database. Make sure your Qdrant instance is properly configured and backed up regularly.
- Qdrant connection parameters can be configured in the Vector Settings section of the application.
