**APIs profiled:** 10

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.
