codelens-tui

Terminal dashboard + operator health CLI for CodeLens MCP.

codelens-tui reads the same .codelens/ state that the MCP server writes, so you can inspect a project's index, symbols, import graph, and watcher/queue health without attaching an MCP client. Useful as:

  • a quick-look TUI during development,
  • a non-interactive --check for local scripts and CI,
  • an operator debug tool when the MCP server behaves unexpectedly.

Install

cargo install codelens-tui

Modes

Mode Command Output
Interactive TUI codelens-tui [PATH] 4-panel ratatui view
Health snapshot codelens-tui --check Human-readable summary
Health snapshot codelens-tui --check --json Machine-readable JSON
CI gate codelens-tui --check --strict Exit 1 on degradation

The health snapshot covers watcher failure health, index freshness, LSP recipe reachability, and embedding model availability. Good signal for a nightly cron that wants to catch index rot before the next session.

Interactive panels

  1. File tree — directory view scoped to the project root, with symbol counts per directory sourced from the symbol index.
  2. Symbol list — symbols in the currently selected file, sortable by line or name.
  3. Import graph — upstream/downstream neighbours of the selected symbol, matching the MCP impact_report evidence.
  4. Metrics — tool invocation metrics (if .codelens/telemetry/tool_usage.jsonl has been written by the MCP server), watcher freshness, analysis job queue depth.

This crate shares codelens-engine for parsing and symbol reads, but it does not embed the MCP server. You can run the TUI against a project the server has never seen — it will build the index itself on first launch — or against a project the daemon already indexed, in which case it just attaches to the existing SQLite files read-only.
