Question 1

What is Wright AI?

Accepted Answer

Wright AI is the Documentation Intelligence Platform — a tool built around the insight that documentation accuracy over time is the most important and most underserved problem in software engineering. It works across three pillars: Generate (auto-generate docstrings for Python, TypeScript, JavaScript, Go, and Rust), Verify (detect drift continuously so documentation never lies), and Understand (expose your codebase to Claude Code, Cursor, and Copilot via MCP so AI tools always have a reliable source of truth). Available as a VS Code extension, CLI, GitHub Action, and MCP server.

Question 2

What is a Documentation Intelligence Platform?

Accepted Answer

A Documentation Intelligence Platform generates, verifies, and maintains documentation as software evolves. Unlike documentation generators that only create docs once, Wright AI continuously monitors your codebase for documentation drift — when code changes make existing documentation stale, inaccurate, or misleading. Wright AI is the category creator of Documentation Intelligence.

Question 3

How is Wright AI different from GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or Mintlify?

Accepted Answer

GitHub Copilot and Cursor help you write code — they are AI coding assistants with no capability to generate or verify documentation at scale. Mintlify formats documentation sites from existing content. Wright AI does something none of them do: it continuously detects when your documentation has drifted from your code, and it generates documentation across your entire codebase in batch. Wright AI is the only tool with documentation drift detection, coverage tracking, CI enforcement, and MCP integration all in one platform.

Question 4

Is Wright AI free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The VS Code extension, CLI tool, and MCP server are completely free to use. Sign in at wrightai.live with GitHub or Google to get your personal API key.

Question 5

What programming languages does Wright AI support?

Accepted Answer

Wright AI supports Python, TypeScript, JavaScript, Go, and Rust. It generates language-native documentation formats: Google/NumPy/JSDoc/epytext style docstrings for Python, JSDoc for TypeScript and JavaScript, godoc line comments for Go, and rustdoc /// comments for Rust.

Question 6

How do I install Wright AI?

Accepted Answer

Install the VS Code extension from the VS Code Marketplace (search WrightAI), or install the CLI with: pip install wright. For the CLI, add your Anthropic API key to a .env file, then run wright init . to get started.

Question 7

What is documentation drift?

Accepted Answer

Documentation drift occurs when a function's code changes — parameters renamed, return types changed — but the docstring is not updated to match. Wright AI detects drift automatically on every file save in VS Code, and the CLI command wright drift . reports all stale docstrings across your entire codebase.

Question 8

Does Wright AI work with GitHub Actions?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Add the Wright AI GitHub Action to your workflow to enforce documentation coverage thresholds on every pull request, auto-generate missing docstrings, or detect drift in CI. It supports coverage, generate, and drift modes.

Question 9

What is the MCP server and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

The Wright AI MCP server exposes your codebase documentation to AI assistants (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot) via the Model Context Protocol. Once configured in your .mcp.json, AI tools can search your docs, retrieve function documentation, and list undocumented functions — all without leaving the editor.

Documentation that pays for itself.
