Claude Octopus runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 100 installs a week from npm. Last commit 31 Oct 2026.
Spawn multiple specialized Claude Code agents as MCP servers, each independently configured.
Today is the operative word: we check Claude Octopus every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.
