About Octocode Mcp

Octocode is an evidence-first code research tool designed for AI agents and developers. It provides an MCP server and CLI that give assistants like Cursor, Claude, and VS Code deep access to GitHub and local codebases. With 13 research tools—including code search, AST and LSP navigation, pull request history, package lookup, and OQL—it delivers the deepest cited context from any codebase. The system is secure by default: read-only, secrets redacted, with path and command guardrails. Octocode is free and open source under the MIT license, supporting 60+ languages via compiler-accurate LSP navigation.
