Sourcegraph Cody MCP

Overview

As launch partners with Anthropic, Sourcegraph has ensured that Cody can seamlessly integrate with MCP, bringing additional context directly into your editor. The Sourcegraph MCP server provides AI-enhanced code search capabilities using Sourcegraph's universal code search platform.

Key Features

• Universal Code Search: Search across multiple repositories and codebases
• MCP Tool Integration: Configure one or more local MCP servers through extension settings
• Automatic Tool Invocation: Cody determines which tools to invoke and automatically integrates output into response context
• OpenCtx Integration: Connect Cody and your editor to MCP servers via OpenCtx
• Frictionless OAuth: Generally available with OAuth setup enabled by default

Integration Method

Users can configure MCP servers through their extension settings. When a user submits a query, Cody:

1. Determines which tools to invoke
2. Passes appropriate parameters
3. Automatically integrates the output into the response context

The integration uses the OpenCtx provider for Model Context Protocol.
