Sourcebot

Sourcebot is a self-hosted code understanding platform built by Taqla Inc. that helps developers and AI agents search, navigate, and understand large enterprise codebases. It indexes every repository across GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, Gerrit, and Gitea and runs entirely inside your own infrastructure, so source code never leaves your deployment. Alongside a fast regex- and symbol-aware code search UI with file explorer and git history/blame, Sourcebot ships "Ask Sourcebot" natural-language codebase Q&A and an agent code context layer (an MCP server) that gives coding agents like Cursor and Claude Code grounded context across every repo. Its public REST API exposes search, symbol navigation, repository listing, git history/blame/diff, and enterprise user/audit endpoints, secured with API keys (and EE OAuth for agent clients). Free self-hosted Basic tier, paid Pro tier for AI and enterprise security.

Sourcebot publishes 5 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Enterprise (EE) API, Git API, Repositories API, and 2 more. Tagged areas include Company, Code Search, Code Intelligence, Developer Tools, and Source Code.

Sourcebot’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, quickstart, engineering blog, pricing, signup flow, and 21 more developer resources.
