Private-Repo Pull Requests & MCP vs. Public-Repo Wiki
The Google Code Wiki alternative for private repos and coding agents
Google Code Wiki is a free, Gemini-powered tool that scans a public GitHub repository and generates a continuously updated wiki with diagrams and an integrated AI chat, all linked to the underlying code. In its current public preview it's limited to public repositories, with no pull-request workflow and no MCP server for coding agents. Moxie Docs runs the same kind of continuous analysis on your private repos, opens docs-only pull requests when documentation drifts, and serves the same conventions to Cursor, Claude Code, and other agents over MCP.
When teams pick Moxie over Google Code Wiki
- Documentation is generated from repository source - not hand-written MDX or wiki pages.
- Drift detection and Friday Cleanup PRs keep docs aligned with every merge.
- The same index powers MCP context for Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, and Windsurf.
Target Audience
Engineering teams who like the auto-generated wiki experience Google Code Wiki offers for public repos, but need it for their own private codebase, with pull requests and MCP context for coding agents.

Deep Dive
Why teams choose Moxie Docs over Google Code Wiki
Code Wiki is a strong, free tool for exploring a public repository, but it stops at reading: no pull requests, no private-repo support yet, and no MCP context for coding agents. Moxie Docs is built for private, working codebases - it opens reviewable pull requests, scopes access per repository, and serves live conventions and gaps to the agents writing your code.
Built for Private, Working Codebases
Code Wiki's public preview only works on public repositories. Moxie Docs is built for your team's private repository from day one, with documentation updates reviewed through your normal pull-request workflow.
Pull Requests, Not Just a Read-Only Wiki
Code Wiki's wiki and chat are read-only. Moxie Docs writes structural documentation back into your repo as reviewable, docs-only pull requests, so updates go through code review like any other change.
MCP Context for Your Coding Agents
Code Wiki's interface is its own web chat. Moxie Docs exposes the same underlying analysis to Cursor, Claude Code, and other MCP-compatible agents, so the tools writing your code share the same source of truth as your docs.
