Hello from OktoLabs

We're a small lab building opinionated source-available tooling for teams shipping with AI agents. Our first release is Okto Pulse.

We built OktoLabs because shipping software with AI agents today means stitching: a kanban for humans, a chat thread for the agent, a handful of MCP servers, and a rolling argument about what’s a spec, what’s a task, and who owns what.

That’s not a workflow. That’s friction.

Okto Pulse

Our first source-available release is Okto Pulse — a local-first, spec-driven project board with native MCP support.

  • Local-first: your data is a SQLite file. No cloud required, no account to create. Boots offline.
  • Spec-driven: every task is traceable to a spec, every spec to a refinement, every refinement to an ideation. No orphan work.
  • MCP-native: Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, any MCP-aware agent — drop .mcp.json next to your agent’s config and it gets 150+ board tools.
  • Role-based: five built-in permission presets (Executor, Spec, Validator, QA, Full Control) so agents can work in parallel without stepping on each other.
Terminal window
pip install okto-pulse
okto-pulse init
okto-pulse serve

That’s the whole setup.

What’s next

Pulse is product number one. We’re building more tooling in the same direction — opinionated, local-first, agent-native — and releasing as we go. Star the org on GitHub to follow along.
