Editor plugin

Octopus, right inside your editor

Building with AI in Cursor or Claude Code? Octopus reads the code your AI writes, finds the real bugs and security holes, and explains them in plain English, before any of it goes live.

Why it helps

A second set of eyes on everything you build

Your editor's AI is great at writing code fast. Octopus is the reviewer that checks it for the things that matter.

Finds real bugs

Not style nitpicks. Octopus looks for actual problems: broken logic, missing checks, and the kind of thing that quietly breaks later.

Catches security holes

Leaked secrets, unsafe database queries, doors an attacker could walk through. Octopus flags them before they ever go live.

Explains it in plain English

Every finding tells you what is wrong and how to fix it, in language you can actually follow. Ask a follow-up question any time.

No pull request needed

Review what you are working on right now. Nothing to open on GitHub, no waiting on a teammate.

How it works

Three steps, then just ask

1

Add the plugin

Install Octopus in Cursor or Claude Code. Both take a moment, and the steps are right below.

2

Connect your account

Paste a free token from your Octopus settings when the plugin asks. That is the whole setup.

3

Just ask

Say “review my changes” or ask a question about your code. Octopus takes it from there.

What it catches

Here is what a review looks like

You ask for a review and Octopus replies with clear, ranked findings. No jargon required.

Critical

Passwords are saved without scrambling them. Anyone who sees the database could read them.

Warning

This form does not check what the user typed, so it could receive unexpected data.

Suggestion

The same code is copied in three places. A shared helper would be easier to maintain.

Get started

Add Octopus to your editor

Pick your editor. Setup takes about a minute, and you only do it once.

Claude Code

Run these two commands inside Claude Code:

/plugin marketplace add octopusreview/octopus-plugin/plugin install octopus-review

Cursor

Open Cursor's plugin marketplace, search for Octopus Code Review, and click Install.

You'll need a free token. Create one in your Octopus settings under API Tokens, then paste it when the plugin asks. New accounts start with free credits.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be a developer to use this?
No. If you are building something with AI in Cursor or Claude Code, you can use Octopus. It reads the code for you and explains what it finds in plain language.
Which editors does it work with?
Cursor and Claude Code today, plus any editor that supports the same kind of plugin. More are on the way.
Is it free to try?
Yes. New accounts come with free credits, and you can bring your own AI provider key to run reviews at no platform cost. See the pricing page for details.
Does my code get sent anywhere?
Octopus only reviews the specific changes you ask it to, and uses them to give you feedback. Our security and privacy docs explain exactly how your code is handled.
How is this different from the AI already in my editor?
Your editor's AI writes code. Octopus checks it. It is a dedicated reviewer looking for bugs and security issues, with the context of your whole project and your past reviews.
