Live sidebar, ER diagrams, CLI, and MCP server for Django models. VS Code + PyPI + MCP Registry + Glama. Zero-dep parser, no DB required.

About django-orm-lens

See your entire Django schema — in your editor, in your terminal, and from your AI agent.

Every app. Every model. Every field. Every relationship. Grouped, navigable, and one keystroke away from a live ER diagram.

Django ORM Lens ships as three distributions on one core — pick the one that matches your workflow. Each takes under 60 seconds.

Editor user (VS Code / Cursor / Windsurf): install the extension → open any Django project → sidebar tree + ER diagram appear.

Terminal / CI user: install from PyPI → run django-orm-lens in any directory that contains Django apps.

AI coding agent user (Cursor / Aider / Continue / Zed): install with MCP extras → add one JSON block to your client config.

Then the MCP config snippet in the Integrations section below. Point DJANGOORMLENSROOT at your Django project's absolute path.

Updated 2026-07-15. PyPI weekly / monthly, GitHub stars / forks, and PyPI / VS Code version badges auto-refresh live.

If the tool saves you a grep next time you touch a strange Django project — star helps others find it.

Requires Python 3.9+. Zero runtime dependencies for the CLI.

Works offline. Works on a broken venv. Works on someone else's laptop. Works in CI.

You open a Django project. It has 20 apps. You need to answer a simple question:

"Which app owns the Order model, and how is it connected to User?"
