Overview

Sourcegraph is a code intelligence platform designed to help engineering teams understand, oversee, and evolve large, complex codebases. It indexes entire repositories and provides AI agents with full codebase context, enabling them to execute tasks more effectively with fewer retries and lower inference costs.

The platform offers multiple tools for code understanding: Deep Search for natural language queries with citations, Code Search for deterministic results across your entire codebase, and an MCP Server that connects AI agents and applications to Sourcegraph's code search capabilities. Beyond search, Sourcegraph provides code oversight through Insights and Monitoring, and supports large-scale code evolution via Agentic Batch Changes.

Built for enterprise scale, Sourcegraph is trusted by 200+ enterprise engineering teams and handles the world's largest monorepos and multi-repo architectures with enterprise-grade security, SSO, and dedicated support.
