Tentra MCP Overview

rdanieli/tentra-mcp MCP server gives AI coding agents architecture design, codebase analysis, and persistent code-graph tools. Agents can describe a system, generate a typed diagram, run quality checks, compare diagrams with code, and export designs to listed frameworks and formats. A local npm process supports repository scanning and indexing, while an SSE endpoint provides hosted access. Reach for it when an agent needs architecture visibility, symbol-level code queries, drift checks, or architecture documentation.
