What can you do with Sourcegraph MCP Server?

Sourcegraph MCP Server

This registry entry represents the Sourcegraph MCP server for a Sourcegraph instance. It can be configured against Sourcegraph Cloud or a private Sourcegraph deployment, so users can connect MCP-compatible clients to their own Sourcegraph server.

At a high level, the Sourcegraph MCP server gives agents and applications access to Sourcegraph code search and code intelligence capabilities through a standard MCP interface. That includes common workflows such as repository discovery, file reads, keyword and semantic search, symbol navigation, references, and code-change exploration.

Configuration

Configure the server with the hostname of your Sourcegraph instance. This entry uses the standard Sourcegraph MCP endpoint:

https://{sourcegraph_hostname}/.api/mcp

For private Sourcegraph instances, set sourcegraph_hostname to your internal or company-hosted Sourcegraph server hostname.

Authentication is handled by Sourcegraph. Depending on the MCP client, this is typically done with browser-based OAuth or a Sourcegraph access token. This MCP config defaults to OAuth.

Notes

This README intentionally keeps client-specific setup details light because MCP integration steps can change over time. For the current Sourcegraph MCP server behavior, supported authentication modes, and client-specific setup instructions, see the official Sourcegraph documentation:

Install

Add Sourcegraph MCP Server to your client. Pick the one you use.

claude mcp add --transport http sourcegraph-mcp-server https://{sourcegraph_hostname}/.api/mcp

codex mcp add sourcegraph-mcp-server --url https://{sourcegraph_hostname}/.api/mcp

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sourcegraph-mcp-server": {
      "url": "https://{sourcegraph_hostname}/.api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Add to `~/.cursor/mcp.json`, or `.cursor/mcp.json` for a single project.

{
  "servers": {
    "sourcegraph-mcp-server": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://{sourcegraph_hostname}/.api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Add to `.vscode/mcp.json` in your workspace.

{
