Explain code or text using the configured model route via Cercano. Returns a clear explanation of what the code does, its key interfaces, and data flow. Use this to understand unfamiliar code, complex algorithms, or dense documentation before deciding what context to include in the host conversation.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Cercano Explain
Explain code or text using the configured model route.
## Routing and data handling
Saved task routing and redirects determine local or cloud execution. Tool names
do not enforce locality, privacy, cost, or latency. Verify the selected destination
before supplying sensitive input; web research also contacts external search and
page servers. Model output and confidence are not independent verification.
## MCP Tool
**Tool name:** `cercano_explain`
## Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|-----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `text` | string | No* | Code or text to explain. Provide either `text` or `file_path`. |
| `file_path` | string | No* | Path to a file to read and explain. Provide either `text` or `file_path`. |
*One of `text` or `file_path` is required.
## Response
Returns an explanation covering:
- What the code/text does (high-level purpose)
- Key interfaces and components
- Data flow
## Examples
**Explain code inline:**
```json
{
"text": "func (s *Server) handleLocal(ctx context.Context, request *gomcp.CallToolRequest, args LocalRequest) (*gomcp.CallToolResult, any, error) { ... }"
}
```

How to install
mdr add cercano-ai/cercano/cercano-explain@sha256:402fffbc6549b245The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261023.295d5be, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
