otter
First run

Documentation

Otter is open source and self-host first. Run the full local UI with Docker, the standalone CLI from npm, or MCP from PyPI. Source, issues, and PRs: github.com/manasdutta04/otter.

Install

$ npm i -g @otter-engg/cli

After Docker: open http://127.0.0.1:3000/app. After a package manager: run otter (install uses -g so the binary is on your PATH). For Cursor / Claude: pip install otter-mcp — see MCP.
