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.

    now recommends migrating to the versioned REST API for compatibility guarantees. Also exposed as a debug surface inside

  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.
