ORGCHART

Org charts and headcount plans generated from CSV / HRIS export

Business Operations — run the company without a SaaS bill for every function.

pip install cognis-orgchart
orgchart scan .            # → prioritized findings in seconds

Usage — step by step

orgchart builds org charts and headcount plans from a CSV / HRIS export. Every subcommand takes a CSV path (or - for stdin).

1. Install:

   pip install -e .
   orgchart --version

2. Render the reporting tree from an export:

   orgchart tree employees.csv

3. Compute metrics — per-employee span-of-control and headcount roll-up:

   orgchart metrics employees.csv

4. Read the output as JSON, or pipe via stdin:

   orgchart --format json summary employees.csv | jq .
   cat employees.csv | orgchart tree -

5. Automate in CI — validate structural integrity (cycles, missing managers) on every HRIS sync:

   orgchart validate employees.csv || exit 1

Why orgchart?

ops + people teams

orgchart is single-purpose, scriptable, and self-hostable: point it at a target, get prioritized results in the format your workflow already speaks (table · JSON · SARIF), gate CI on it, and let agents drive it over MCP.

Quick start

pip install cognis-orgchart
orgchart --version
orgchart scan .                       # scan current project
orgchart scan . --format json         # machine-readable
orgchart scan . --fail-on high        # CI gate (non-zero exit)

Example

$ orgchart scan .
  [HIGH    ] ORG-001  example finding             (./src/app.py)
  [MEDIUM  ] ORG-002  another signal              (./config.yaml)

Use it from any AI stack

orgchart is interoperable with every popular way of using AI:

• MCP server — orgchart mcp (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cognis.Studio, uncensored-fleet)
• OpenAI-compatible / JSON — pipe orgchart scan . --format json into any agent or LLM
• LangChain · CrewAI · AutoGen · LlamaIndex — wrap the CLI/JSON as a tool in one line
• CI / scripts — exit codes + SARIF for non-AI pipelines

Single command, zero config	✅	⚠️
JSON + SARIF for CI	✅	varies
MCP-native (AI agents)	✅	❌
Polyglot ports (JS/Go/Rust)	✅	❌
Open license	✅ COCL	varies
