Why we’re tracking it
Track repository research tools and source-indexing behavior as the platform evolves
Reviewed · Documentation review; complete setup workflow not independently tested

Evidence-first local and GitHub/npm code research
What we know
CLI and MCP for token-efficient code search, AST/LSP analysis, repository inspection and GitHub/npm research.
Maintenance / activity evidence
- Observed (UTC)Octocode protocol ( 472)
Tracking evidence observed Oct 5, 2026. These dated signals do not establish current maintenance. Reviewed enrichment confidence: high.
Verification gaps / watch-outs
- Installation and comprehensive security have not been independently audited.
- Local tools + GitHub token scopes. Writes: Clone/cache operations.
- GitHub OAuth/token as configured.
- Sensitive access: Local repositories, Authenticated GitHub data
- Opt-in local and authenticated source access should be scoped; secret redaction is a useful documented control.
Full authority, access and evidence limits are available in Review context and Access & risk.

All limitations / Review context
Which code-research operations and MCP clients are supported at the next review?
The bounded assessment reviewed the official README, repository notices, security policy path, and security page for known material public-tracking blockers. No such blocker was identified. This is a public-tracking assessment, not an installation safety certification.
- Opt-in local and authenticated source access should be scoped; secret redaction is a useful documented control.
- Local tools + GitHub token scopes.
- GitHub OAuth/token as configured.
- Reads local/GitHub/npm content; documents secret redaction.
- Reviewed write actions: Clone/cache operations
- Sensitive access: Local repositories, Authenticated GitHub data
- Installation, client compatibility and comprehensive security have not been independently audited. Authentication and access depend on the configured services.
- A project-specific SECURITY.md policy was not available at the fetched official path; the review remains limited to published repository notices.
- No installation, runtime, client matrix, or complete tool-contract audit was performed in this review.
- The fetched official SECURITY.md path returned HTTP 404; it was not treated as positive evidence.
- Local/clone tools are opt-in.
- Authenticated GitHub research may require tokens/OAuth.

Publisher instructions with a documented client setup path.
Source evidence observed .
Additional setup details required — see the specific gaps below.
Install / connect
Publisher instructionsUse publisher `npx octocode install --ide cursor` or a manual client config launching `npx -y octocode-mcp@latest`. `npx octocode --help` tests the separate CLI but does not register the MCP.
npx octocode install --ide cursorConfigure / authenticate
Publisher instructionsThis is bgauryy/octocode (Node package), NOT Muvon/octocode (Rust). For GitHub auth run npx octocode auth login only if private GitHub access/rate limits are needed; npx octocode status inspects auth. Register the publisher @octocodeai/mcp@latest server in chosen host.

{ "mcpServers": { "octocode": { "args": [ "octocode-mcp@latest" ], "command": "npx" } } }Check connection
MCP100 setup guideRun npx octocode status to confirm active GitHub auth source, then separately inspect octocode MCP tools in the client. CLI auth verification is not a substitute for MCP registration.
npx octocode statusRemove / uninstall / revoke
MCP100 setup guideRemove only the `octocode` client entry launching `octocode-mcp@latest`; the `npx octocode` CLI is a distinct interface. Revoke locally stored GitHub authorization separately when retiring access. Remove only `octocode` from this MCP client’s `mcpServers` configuration and restart/reload that client. Other entries must remain intact. In the MCP client settings remove only the `mcpServers.octocode` entry and restart/reload. This is a concrete client disconnect, separate from uninstalling the local package.
