Octocode - Agentic Research Platform
Evidence-first code research for AI agents and developers.
Octocode gives an agent the full context it needs to change, review, or explain code: real evidence from your local workspace and from external sources (GitHub repositories, pull requests, and npm packages). One toolset covers all of it: ripgrep and AST structural search, repository tree browsing, precise content fetching, LSP semantic navigation, and binary inspection.
Run it as a CLI or an MCP server. A Rust engine keeps every call fast and token-efficient, minifying and skeletonizing code so an agent reads the shape of a file instead of every byte, from a single file to a mega-repo. It is also the best tool for cross-repository research and exploration across millions of repositories.
