Sourcegraph Cody

Sourcegraph Cody is an AI coding assistant powered by cross-repository code intelligence. While other assistants see only the current project, Cody searches your entire codebase — across all repositories — to find relevant code, patterns, and usage examples. MCP tools add external system data to this already comprehensive codebase understanding.

Cross-Repository Intelligence Meets MCP

Cody's context engine is powered by Sourcegraph's code search index. Ask "how is authentication implemented?" and Cody finds the relevant code across your organization's repos — not just the one you have open. This cross-repo awareness makes Cody especially powerful for microservice architectures and monorepos.

MCP tools complement this by adding non-code context: deployment configurations, monitoring data, issue tracker statuses, and documentation stored outside your repos.

Features:

  • Cross-repo search — find code patterns across all repositories
  • Context engine — automatic relevance ranking for code snippets
  • VS Code + JetBrains + Web — multiple editor support
  • Agent mode — autonomous multi-step coding
  • Multi-model — Claude, GPT, Gemini, and Mixtral
  • Custom commands — reusable prompt workflows
  • Enterprise — self-hosted and cloud deployments
  • Open-source — Cody client is Apache 2.0
