What is Sourcegraph?

Sourcegraph is a code intelligence platform that indexes all repositories across an entire codebase, providing powerful search, code navigation, and AI-powered insights. It enables engineers and AI agents to understand, oversee, and evolve complex codebases at enterprise scale, with features like Deep Search, Code Search, and Agentic Batch Changes.

How to use Sourcegraph?

To use Sourcegraph, start by scheduling a demo or signing up for the platform. Once onboarded, connect your code hosts (GitHub, GitLab, etc.) and repositories. Use Code Search to find code across all repos, Deep Search for natural language queries, and set up Code Monitoring and Insights to track changes. For AI agents, integrate the MCP server to provide them with codebase context.
