What the publisher says
From the Octocode MCP - AI Context Platform repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
Octocode: agentic research platform
Evidence-first code research for AI agents and developers.
Octocode researches your local code and external code alike (GitHub repositories, PRs, npm) with one toolset: ripgrep + AST search, trees, precise reads, and LSP. Use it as a CLI or MCP server, backed by a Rust engine for fast, token-efficient results across single files or mega-repos.

🖥️ CLI - research straight from your terminal:
npx octocode🤖 MCP - one-click install:
