[octocode](https://octocode.ai/) reports 942 GitHub stars, 76 forks, and 5 open issues, last pushed Sep 18, 2026. [ArtiVC](https://artivc.io) has 314 stars, 17 forks, and 12 open issues, last pushed Aug 8, 2026. Figures are from public GitHub metadata via [octocode's repository](https://github.com/bgauryy/octocode) and [ArtiVC's repository](https://github.com/InfuseAI/ArtiVC). | | [octocode](/tools/bgauryy-octocode.md) | [ArtiVC](/tools/infuseai-artivc.md) | | --- | --- | --- | | Tagline | MCP server for semantic code research with LLM patterns | A CLI tool for data versioning on cloud storage | | Stars | 942 | 314 | | Forks | 76 | 17 | | Open issues | 5 | 12 | | Language | TypeScript | Go | | Adopt for | Octocode is an MCP server that uses LLM patterns for semantic code research and context generation in real-time. | A CLI tool focused on data versioning across multiple cloud storage solutions. | | Persona | - | - | | Runtime | - | - | | License | MIT | Apache-2.0 | | Categories | AI Agents, Data & Retrieval, LLM Frameworks | Data & Retrieval | ## Trust and health _Sourced signals - not a safety guarantee.
