From the repository

Install GenCodeDoc via Poetry, then initialize a project with poetry run gencodedoc init --preset python. Create snapshots with poetry run gencodedoc snapshot create -m "Initial version", generate documentation with poetry run gencodedoc doc generate --limit 5000, and configure MCP integration by setting up the appropriate transport (stdio, SSE, or REST) in your AI assistant’s settings.
