sourcey
Precision documentation from OpenAPI, MCP, Doxygen, and Markdown guides. Static HTML you own.
No outside reports on file

About Sourcey
Sourcey generates documentation by reading OpenAPI specs, MCP (Model Context Protocol) schemas, Doxygen comments, and Markdown files. It outputs static HTML pages that you can host and control yourself, without relying on external services.
Who it’s for
Developers and teams who want to build custom documentation sites from code and API definitions. People who prefer owning their documentation infrastructure rather than using third-party doc platforms.
Alternatives
- Swagger UI / Redoc: Lightweight OpenAPI documentation viewers (browser-based).
- MkDocs: Static site generator for Markdown documentation with themes.
- Sphinx: Documentation generator for projects (popular for Python, supports multiple formats).
Setup
Check these steps against the project’s own instructions before running anything.
Follow the project's README. The GitHub repository (https://github.com/sourcey/sourcey (opens external site)) contains installation and configuration instructions specific to your use case.

Security reports
No reports found for this package in our research (last checked 2026-10-29).
Risks to watch for
- File system access: The tool reads local files (API specs, code comments, Markdown) and could be tricked into processing malicious files that generate misleading HTML or leak file paths.
- Injection in source files: Specially crafted OpenAPI specs or Markdown with HTML/JavaScript could be embedded in generated docs, affecting anyone who views them.
- Information disclosure: Generated HTML might accidentally include sensitive details from comments, internal API docs, or environment-specific information.
- Supply chain: If installed via npm or similar, compromised dependencies could alter documentation output or steal data during builds.
- No sandboxing: The tool runs with the permissions of your user account and can read anything you can read.
How to lower the risk
Least-privilege permissions
- Run the tool with a dedicated user account that has read-only access to documentation source files.
- Restrict write permissions so only the output directory is modified.
Network isolation
- Keep the tool offline or behind a firewall if processing sensitive API specs.
- Do not expose the tool's input files or configuration to untrusted networks.
Monitoring
- Review generated HTML before publishing to catch injected scripts or leaked secrets.
- Track changes to input files (OpenAPI specs, Markdown) with version control.
Red flags to watch for
- Unexpected HTML or JavaScript in generated output that you did not author.
- Error messages that expose file paths or internal system details.
- Slow builds or high CPU/memory use, which might indicate malicious processing.
