Documentation Overview

CodeRifts — Self-Hosted Deployment

Docker Compose configuration for self-hosting CodeRifts on your own infrastructure.

Quick Start

CodeRifts runs from a prebuilt image published to GitHub Container Registry (ghcr.io/coderifts/app:latest) - no source checkout or local build required.

bash

# 1. Download the Compose file and environment template
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/coderifts/self-hosted/main/docker-compose.yml
curl -o .env https://raw.githubusercontent.com/coderifts/self-hosted/main/.env.example

# 2. Edit .env with your values (GitHub App credentials)

# 3. Pull the CodeRifts image and start all services
docker compose pull
docker compose up -d

If pulling the image requires authentication, run docker login ghcr.io first.

What's Included

docker-compose.yml — Orchestrates the CodeRifts app, PostgreSQL database, and Redis cache
.env.example — Template for required environment variables
SELF_HOSTED.md — Detailed deployment and configuration guide

MCP Server

CodeRifts is available as a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server so AI agents can run governance and contract-safety checks before they call or merge API changes. The server speaks MCP JSON-RPC over Streamable HTTP.

Registry name: io.github.coderifts/api-governance
Transport: Streamable HTTP
Hosted endpoint: https://app.coderifts.com/mcp
Self-hosted endpoint: https://<your-host>/mcp (same path on your own instance)
Authentication: send Authorization: Bearer cr_live_YOUR_KEY on tool calls. The initialize and tools/list methods are open (no key required) so clients can discover the tools without authenticating.

Tools

Tool	Description
`preflight_check`	Analyze an API spec diff before merge. Returns risk score, blast radius, agent impact, and a merge decision (ALLOW / WARN / REQUIRE_APPROVAL / BLOCK).
`agent_tool_check`	Check whether an API change breaks AI agent tool calling (endpoint removal, newly required fields, result-shape drift).
`agent_readiness_score`	Score an OpenAPI spec or MCP manifest for AI-agent readiness (0–100) with recommendations.
`registry_validate`	Validate an MCP tool registry or OpenAPI spec collection for governance health.
`agent_preflight`	Pre-flight governance check for agent workflows, given tool schemas before and after a change.
`mcp_diff`	Compare two MCP manifests and detect breaking changes in tool schemas, input/output types, and descriptions.
`governance_health`	Governance health score for an API spec (A–F grade, policy compliance, recommendations).

Claude Desktop

Add CodeRifts to claude_desktop_config.json using the remote bridge:

config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "coderifts": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://app.coderifts.com/mcp",
        "--header",
        "Authorization: Bearer cr_live_YOUR_KEY"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Replace cr_live_YOUR_KEY with your CodeRifts API key, restart Claude Desktop, and the seven tools above become available.

Quick check

bash

# List tools (no key required)
curl -s -X POST https://app.coderifts.com/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}'
