Frequently asked questions
Is CodeLoop a Cursor Bugbot alternative?
Yes. CodeLoop runs the same verify → diagnose → fix loop, plus screenshots, video capture, and pixel-diff against Figma exports. CodeLoop also works in Claude Code and any other MCP-speaking client, while Bugbot is Cursor-only.
Does CodeLoop run on the PR or at edit time?
Edit time. The agent verifies after every change, so most issues are fixed before the PR is ever opened. CodeLoop also ships a GitHub Action for the same gate-check on the PR if you want both.
Can I use CodeLoop and Bugbot together?
Yes. CodeLoop runs locally during edits; Bugbot reviews the resulting PR. Both can coexist with no conflicts — they target different stages of the loop.
Is CodeLoop open source?
Yes — MIT licence. The MCP server, CLI, dashboard, and integrations are all open source. The hosted backend (billing + OSS verification) can be replaced with your own; runbook at https://codeloop.tech/docs/self-host.
What does CodeLoop add that Bugbot does not?
Cross-agent support (Claude Code, Codex, Aider, etc.); Figma design comparison via pixel-diff; video recording of UI flows; full self-host option; permanent free Solo plan for OSS repositories.
