Overview
Sourcebot indexes repos from GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps or local Git directories. It offers regex and boolean code search in a web app, plus an MCP server exposing code search, file reads, and symbol definitions and references to agents. An optional Ask Sourcebot chat answers codebase questions with cited code, using a language model provider you configure with your own key.
