Detect a repository's language and runtime
with Appwrite
Works with AI assistants
Use Appwrite: its Appwrite VCS API lets you detect a repository's language and runtime in a single step (POST /vcs/github/installations/{installationId}/detections). Appwrite also has an MCP server, so an AI assistant like Claude or ChatGPT can do it for you. capabilities.work can help you get signed up and connected.
- Can Appwrite work out which runtime a GitHub repository needs before I deploy it?
- How does runtime detection decide the language of a connected repo?
- Can I run detection against a subfolder rather than the repository root?
Say it to your AI assistant
- Detect the runtime for repository {providerRepositoryId} on installation {installationId} as a {type}.
- Scan the {providerRootDirectory} folder of repo {providerRepositoryId} via installation {installationId} and tell me its language, treating it as a {type}.
For your developer
