OCTOPUS / VISUAL STUDIO EXTENSION
From database to API, faster.
Octopus is a Visual Studio extension that scaffolds SQL Server stored procedures and generates a full or minimal C# API, complete with clean-architecture layers, endpoints, and database connectivity.
Dapper available now · Entity Framework coming soon
FROM CONNECTION TO CODE
A guided path to a working API.
Start a project or resume one you’ve already generated. Connect to your SQL Server database, choose the procedures you need, validate your selections, and let Octopus generate the API.
CONTROL WHAT GETS GENERATED
Your database. Your endpoints.
Connect and configure
Connect to your SQL Server database and choose how Octopus should build the project.
Select, then validate
Scaffold stored procedures across the database, then check the operations you want for each table. Validate your choices before generating the API.
AFTER VALIDATION
Choose what to generate.
After validation, select the output that fits your project. Additional generation options are available depending on your license.
Docker files
Include the files needed to containerize the generated API.
Unit tests
Generate a testing starting point alongside the API.
Postman collection
Get a collection for exploring and testing the generated endpoints.
SQL scaffold
Scaffold missing stored procedures for the operations you selected.
ENTERPRISE LICENSE
An API your coding agent can understand.
The Enterprise license generates agent documentation tailored to your provider, such as Claude Code or OpenAI. It also adds prompts, an agent pipeline, and guidance for adding new endpoints—so your team can extend the API without writing every line by hand.
GENERATE WITH CONFIDENCE
Generate a full or minimal C# API with clean-architecture layers, endpoints, and Dapper connectivity. Entity Framework integration and solution-generated queries for teams that don’t use stored procedures are coming soon.
