Apex Docgen
Apex Docgen MCP server generates documentation from Salesforce Apex source code, parsing classes, triggers, and methods to produce structured outputs like Markdown or HTML. Salesforce developers use it to create API references and code overviews without manual writing. Applications include CI/CD integration for auto-updating docs in team repositories.
Overview
Apex Docgen is an MCP server designed for generating documentation directly from Salesforce Apex code. It analyzes source files to extract structural information such as class hierarchies, method signatures, parameters, and return types, outputting formatted documentation.
Key Capabilities
- Apex code parsing: Scans Apex classes, triggers, extensions, and interfaces to identify components and metadata.
- Documentation generation: Produces outputs in formats like Markdown, HTML, or Salesforce-specific doc sets, including summaries, examples, and annotations.
- Integration via MCP: Allows API calls to process code snippets or entire projects programmatically.
Use Cases
-
CI/CD Pipeline Integration: Trigger Apex Docgen during builds to generate updated docs from committed Apex code and publish to wikis or Salesforce orgs.
-
Team Onboarding: Parse a new Apex module to create method-level docs for junior developers reviewing legacy code.
-
API Reference Creation: Input Apex controller classes to output REST/SOAP endpoint docs with parameter details for external integrations.
-
Code Audit Prep: Generate full codebase documentation for compliance reviews, highlighting undocumented methods.
Who This Is For
Salesforce developers working on Apex codebases, DevOps engineers setting up automated documentation in release pipelines, and technical leads maintaining code standards in enterprise Salesforce orgs.
