Octocode MCP - AI Context Platform
Octocode MCP provides AI assistants with research-driven development capabilities by connecting to GitHub, GitLab, and local codebases through tools including repository search, code pattern discovery, Language Server Protocol intelligence (Go to Definition, Find References, Call Hierarchy), and file browsing. The server enables AI agents to understand code implementations, explore pull requests, and perform compiler-level code analysis to solve problems that typically require senior engineer expertise. It offers both a core MCP server and modular skills (Researcher, Research, Engineer, and Plan) that support multi-phase investigation, code generation, and evidence-based planning workflows.
