Works best with Claude Code. Compatible with GitHub Copilot and Cursor. More agents coming soon.
Otto connects to your AI coding assistant via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Any MCP-compatible agent can use Otto — the framework is agent-agnostic by design.
Full native support. CLAUDE.md instruction files, MCP protocol, all Otto features verified.
MCP: Native MCP — fully integrated
Compatible via MCP. .github/copilot-instructions.md generated during onboarding. Smoke-tested.

These agents support or are implementing MCP. Otto will add verified support as each agent's MCP implementation stabilizes.
MCP support available. Pending Otto verification and smoke testing.
MCP support announced. Pending stable release and Otto verification.
MCP integration in progress. Pending stable release and Otto verification.
Open-source assistant with MCP support. Pending Otto verification.
MCP support available. Pending Otto verification and smoke testing.
Otto's framework logic runs on the Otto MCP server. Your AI coding assistant connects via MCP and receives computed results — assessments, recommendations, and actionable steps. Your source code never leaves your machine.
During onboarding, Otto generates an instruction file tailored to your agent (e.g., CLAUDE.md for Claude Code, .github/copilot-instructions.md for Copilot). This file teaches your agent how to work with Otto's recommendations.

Using a different agent? If your AI coding assistant supports MCP, it likely works with Otto already. Contact us to request verification for your tool.
