Bulk imports
Bring large graphs of services and relationships into the YAML schema without hand-typing every node. Validate with the same compile/validate pipeline used in CI.
CLI tooling
Navo CLI - bulk imports and AST → YAML
Brownfield platforms rarely start as clean YAML. Navo’s CLI helps you bulk-import structure and generate architecture YAML from ASTs so living maps match the systems you already run.
AST → YAML
Derive architecture fragments from code structure, then refine in Git. Keep the map next to the repositories that implement it.
Fit with the browser and MCP
CLI output becomes the same ArchitectureMap YAML the SPA compiles into Cytoscape maps and service detail pages. navo-mcp agents can also call scan_codebase and convert_diagram (ops toolset, write-gated) so scan/convert and agent workflows share one windlass.
FAQ
Does Navo support AST parsing for architecture YAML?
Yes. CLI tooling supports AST → YAML workflows alongside bulk imports, so teams can bootstrap maps from existing code structure.
Is the CLI free?
Yes. CLI capabilities ship with the free Community edition. See Docs for install and quick-start steps.
Keep architecture living next to code
Reduce architecture drift and meetings. Unlimited viewers free. Community includes MCP, AI YAML, and Git as source of truth.
