Just as developers need broad context across large, multi-repository enterprise codebases, software engineering agents need the same context to perform large-scale refactoring and navigate legacy ecosystems. Sourcebot is a self-hosted code search and understanding platform that acts as a context layer to serve both. It indexes thousands of repositories to provide fast, symbol-aware search and IDE-level navigation. With the Sourcebot MCP server, agents can search across an organization’s entire codebase. Our teams have also found the paid-tier feature Ask Sourcebot useful for team collaboration. This AI chat tool enables non-developer roles to query the codebase using natural language, reducing their reliance on developers to answer codebase questions.
