Django ORM Lens — new community MCP server for Django models #4522

Description

@FROWNINGdev

Hi MCP team!

Filing this as an informational nudge that a new community MCP server may be worth referencing in ADDITIONAL.md or a community list.

Django ORM Lens — a static-analysis MCP server that exposes Django ORM schemas to AI agents.

What it does

Five read-only tools any MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Aider, Continue.dev, Zed) can call while editing a Django project:

  • list_apps — every Django app in the workspace with model counts
  • list_models — flat app.Model list, optional app filter
  • describe_model — full field/relation/Meta detail for one model
  • find_relations — inbound + outbound relations for one model
  • er_diagram — Mermaid ER diagram for the whole workspace

Why it fits an MCP audience

  • Static parser — no Django boot, no database, no credentials. Works offline, in CI, and on partial projects.
  • Registered in the official MCP Registry as io.github.FROWNINGdev/django-orm-lens.
  • Listed on Glama.ai (safety checks passed) and mcp.so.
  • Also ships as a companion VS Code extension and a zero-dep Python CLI — same parser, three surfaces.
  • MIT licensed, PyPI: pip install "django-orm-lens[mcp]".

Fully understand if this doesn't fit the reference-implementations scope of this repo — feel free to close if inappropriate. Thanks for the ecosystem!
