Octocode — Evidence-First Code Research for AI Agents
Octocode is evidence-first code research for AI agents and developers. It gives Cursor, Claude, VS Code, and any MCP-compatible assistant deep access to GitHub and local codebases. 14 research tools deliver the deepest cited context from code — code search, AST and LSP navigation, pull request history, package lookup, and OQL — over MCP or the npx octocode CLI.
