Sourcegraph

aid: sourcegraph
name: Sourcegraph
description: Sourcegraph is a code intelligence platform that lets developers and AI agents search, navigate, understand, and modify code across very large, multi-repo codebases. The platform pairs classic code search and code intelligence (jump-to-definition, references, batch changes) with AI products — Cody (in-IDE AI coding assistant), Amp (frontier coding agent with its own CLI and plugin system), and Deep Search (a natural-language code research agent). Sourcegraph instances expose a versioned external REST API introduced in v7.0, a streaming search API, an analytics API, webhooks, an MCP server, and the historical GraphQL API kept available for migration. The src CLI is the long-standing command-line client.

  name: Sourcegraph REST API
  description: Versioned external REST API introduced in Sourcegraph 7.0 and intended as the stable integration surface going forward. Each Sourcegraph instance exposes its own /api-reference path where the live OpenAPI schema is published. Backwards compatibility is guaranteed within a major version.

  description: Server-sent-event API that streams search results as they are produced, used by the Sourcegraph UI and by integrations that want incremental result delivery instead of batched responses. Exposed per-instance at /.api/search/stream with event types matches, progress, filters, alert, and done.

  name: Sourcegraph Webhooks
  description: Sourcegraph instances expose three distinct webhook surfaces. Outgoing webhooks (Site Admin > Configuration > Outgoing webhooks) push batch_change, changeset, and user:create events to external HTTP endpoints. The code monitoring webhook action delivers per-monitor JSON POSTs when a saved search returns new results. Incoming webhooks (Site Admin > Integrations > Incoming webhooks) receive push, batch-change, and permission events from GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket Server, Bitbucket Cloud, and Azure DevOps.

  name: Amp Coding Agent
  description: Amp is Sourcegraph's frontier coding agent, designed for pay-as-you-go use against leading AI models. It ships a CLI for macOS, Linux, WSL, and Windows, supports plugins (slash commands in .agents/commands and toolbox tools in JavaScript, Python, or Bash), and is tuned for long, responsive agent threads. The amp-contrib repository ships starter slash commands (bigquery, deep_search, formatting, linear, tmux, typescript-codemod, web-browser) and tool templates.
