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.

Quick start

Prerequisites: Node.js 20.12+

1. Run the Octocode CLI with `npx`

npx octocode --help

2. Authenticate with GitHub - optional, but unlocks private repositories and higher API rate limits:

Questions

What is the Octocode MCP server?

Code research platform for AI agents; find, understand, and prove context across your code and all of GitHub, in a fraction of the tokens. One toolset, MCP or CLI

What tools does Octocode expose?

200 in total: 345 read-only, 9 that write, and 0 that can delete or overwrite. Every one is listed on this page with its risk.

Is Octocode safe to connect to an agent?

No — not without reading the findings first. The audit graded it F (43/100) and found 22 critical or high issues in the source. Each one is listed on this page with the file and line it is on.

What credentials does Octocode need?

It reads AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, EXA_API_KEY, GEMINI_API_KEY, GH_TOKEN, GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN, GITHUB_TOKEN, OCTOCODE_TOKEN, SECRET_TOKEN, SERPER_API_KEY, TAVILY_API_KEY and TEST_GITHUB_TOKEN from the environment. Give it a token scoped to the least it needs — an agent that can be talked into calling a tool can be talked into calling it with your credentials.

How does Octocode run?

It speaks stdio, so it runs as a local process your client starts. It is published on npm as octocode at 18.3.0.

How current is this page?

The grade is for one exact copy of the source (acb65580ab4e), read on 2026-09-27. The repository is watched and re-audited when it changes.
