About this codebase
`repo` is the OpenMRS Java backend application: it consumes domain model inputs (e.g., `OpenmrsObject` entities, metadata, forms, users, and API requests), runs them through a layered service/logic pipeline (context + API services + business logic + scheduler/web integration), and produces runtime artifacts such as REST/API responses, persisted database changes (via Liquibase), and scheduled background job execution.

Code health
This codebase scores 7.4 out of 10 for code health, which we rate good. It also scores maintainability 7.8 and static performance 9.5 out of 10. The three are scored separately and never blended into one number. Risk is concentrated, as it usually is: 2 of 2,318 files are git hotspots, and they average 2.7 — which is where the fixes pay off most.

Worth planning
Break up copyCustomizationIntoWebapp (CCN 11, 50 lines)
web/src/main/java/org/openmrs/web/Listener.java:462
copyCustomizationIntoWebapp nests its control flow deeply, and part of it is duplicated, so splitting it also removes a copy.

Use openmrs/openmrs-core in your agent
Point Claude Code, Cursor, Codex or VS Code at this repository. Your agent gets the index this page is built from: cited answers, callers, history and health for any file.
https://api.repowise.dev/mcp/openmrs/openmrs-coreOne command, run anywhere. Adds the server to your local Claude Code config.

OpenMRS API and web application code This page is a map of the openmrs/openmrs-core repository, written primarily in Java, rebuilt from the source each time it is indexed. Repowise parses every symbol, computes a dependency graph, scores per-file code health from complexity, duplication, test coverage and churn, mines git history for hotspots and ownership, and lifts the architectural decisions into documentation you can read here or query through MCP.
The codebase has 2,318 files and 17,244 symbols in 6 modules, led by Java, JavaScript and Shell. Code health is 7.4 out of 10, rated good.
