## Description

Securely connect your AI agents and chatbots (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, etc) with Sourcegraph MCP or direct API to search code, fetch repository data, analyze diffs, and review pull requests through natural language.

## Summary

Sourcegraph is a code intelligence platform for searching, understanding, and managing code across large-scale repositories. It helps developers find, review, and analyze code quickly, boosting productivity and collaboration.

## Categories

- developer tools & devops

## Toolkit Details

- Tools: 8

## Images

- Logo: https://logos.composio.dev/api/sourcegraph

## Authentication

- **Api Key**
  - Type: `api_key`
  - Description: Api Key authentication for Sourcegraph.
  - Setup:
    - Configure Api Key credentials for Sourcegraph.
    - Use the credentials when creating an auth config in Composio.

## Suggested Prompts

- Show all languages used in repo backend-service
- Compare latest two commits in project web-ui
- List all files under src/utils in repo app-core
- Get file contents of README.md from repo docs-site

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `SOURCEGRAPH_CHECK_SITE_SETTINGS_EDIT_PERMISSION` | Check Site Settings Edit Permission | Tool to check whether site settings can be edited through the API. Use when you need to confirm the API allows site settings edits before attempting configuration changes. |
| `SOURCEGRAPH_COMPARE_COMMITS` | Compare Commits | Tool to compare two commits in a repository and retrieve their file diffs. Use after confirming the repository name and commit SHAs to inspect differences. |
| `SOURCEGRAPH_GET_COMMIT_DETAILS` | Get Commit Details | Get detailed information about a specific commit in a repository. |
| `SOURCEGRAPH_GET_CURRENT_USER` | Get Current User | Tool to retrieve information about the currently authenticated user. Use when needing confirmation of identity via Sourcegraph GraphQL API. |
| `SOURCEGRAPH_GET_FILE_CONTENTS` | Get File Contents | Tool to fetch the contents of a specified file on the default branch. Use when you need raw file text without cloning the repo or using a slower code-host API. |
| `SOURCEGRAPH_LIST_REPOSITORIES` | List Repositories | Tool to list repositories on the Sourcegraph instance. Use when you need to paginate through all available repositories. |
| `SOURCEGRAPH_LIST_REPOSITORY_FILES` | List Repository Files | Tool to list all files and directories in a repository path. Use when you need to enumerate files in a repository without cloning. |
| `SOURCEGRAPH_LIST_REPOSITORY_LANGUAGES` | List repository languages | Tool to list languages used in a repository. Use when you need to determine the primary and all languages of a given repository; call after you have the repository name. |

## Installation and MCP Setup

### Path 1: SDK Installation

#### Path 1, Step 1: Install Composio

Install the Composio SDK
```python
pip install composio_openai
```

```typescript
npm install @composio/openai
```

#### Path 1, Step 2: Initialize Composio and Create Tool Router Session

Import and initialize Composio client, then create a Tool Router session
```python
from openai import OpenAI
from composio import Composio
from composio_openai import OpenAIResponsesProvider

composio = Composio(provider=OpenAIResponsesProvider())
openai = OpenAI()
session = composio.create(user_id='your-user-id')
```

```typescript
import OpenAI from 'openai';
import { Composio } from '@composio/core';
import { OpenAIResponsesProvider } from '@composio/openai';

const composio = new Composio({
  provider: new OpenAIResponsesProvider(),
});
const openai = new OpenAI({});
const session = await composio.create('your-user-id');
```

#### Path 1, Step 3: Execute Sourcegraph Tools via Tool Router with Your Agent

Get tools from Tool Router session and execute Sourcegraph actions with your Agent
```python
tools = session.tools
response = openai.responses.create(
  model='gpt-4.1',
  tools=tools,
  input=[{
    'role': 'user',
    'content': 'List all repositories containing Python code'
  }]
)
result = composio.provider.handle_tool_calls(
  response=response,
  user_id='your-user-id'
)
print(result)
```

```typescript
const tools = session.tools;
const response = await openai.responses.create({
  model: 'gpt-4.1',
  tools: tools,
  input: [{
    role: 'user',
    content: 'List all repositories containing Python code'
  }],
});
const result = await composio.provider.handleToolCalls(
  'your-user-id',
  response.output
);
console.log(result);
```

### Path 2: MCP Server Setup

#### Path 2, Step 1: Install Composio

Install the Composio SDK and Claude Agent SDK
```python
pip install composio claude-agent-sdk
```

```typescript
npm install @composio/core ai @ai-sdk/openai @ai-sdk/mcp
```

#### Path 2, Step 2: Create Tool Router Session

Initialize the Composio client and create a Tool Router session
```python
from composio import Composio
from claude_agent_sdk import ClaudeSDKClient, ClaudeAgentOptions

composio = Composio(api_key='your-composio-api-key')
session = composio.create(user_id='your-user-id')
url = session.mcp.url
```

```typescript
import { Composio } from '@composio/core';

const composio = new Composio({ apiKey: 'your-api-key' });

console.log("Creating Tool Router session...");
const { mcp } = await composio.create('your-user-id');
console.log(`Tool Router session created: ${mcp.url}`);
```

#### Path 2, Step 3: Connect to AI Agent

Use the MCP server with your AI agent
```python
import asyncio

options = ClaudeAgentOptions(
    permission_mode='bypassPermissions',
    mcp_servers={
        'tool_router': {
            'type': 'http',
            'url': url,
            'headers': {
                'x-api-key': 'your-composio-api-key'
            }
        }
    },
    system_prompt='You are a helpful assistant with access to Sourcegraph tools.',
    max_turns=10
)

async def main():
    async with ClaudeSDKClient(options=options) as client:
        await client.query('List all files in the repo sourcegraph/sourcegraph')
        async for message in client.receive_response():
            if hasattr(message, 'content'):
                for block in message.content:
                    if hasattr(block, 'text'):
                        print(block.text)

asyncio.run(main())
```

```typescript
import { openai } from '@ai-sdk/openai';
import { experimental_createMCPClient as createMCPClient } from '@ai-sdk/mcp';
import { generateText, stepCountIs } from 'ai';

const client = await createMCPClient({
  transport: {
    type: 'http',
    url: mcp.url,
    headers: { 'x-api-key': 'your-composio-api-key' }
  }
});

const tools = await client.tools();

const { text } = await generateText({
  model: openai('gpt-4o'),
  tools,
  messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'List all files in the repo sourcegraph/sourcegraph' }],
  stopWhen: stepCountIs( 5 )
});

console.log(`Agent: ${text}`);
```

## Why Use Composio?

### 1. AI Native Sourcegraph Integration

- Structured, LLM-friendly schemas for reliable tool execution
- Rich coverage for searching, querying, and managing Sourcegraph code data

### 2. Managed Auth

- Built-in API key handling for Sourcegraph access
- Central place to manage, scope, and revoke Sourcegraph credentials
- Per user and per environment keys instead of hard-coding them in code

### 3. Agent Optimized Design

- Tools are tuned using real error and success rates to improve reliability over time
- Comprehensive execution logs so you always know what ran, when, and on whose behalf

### 4. Enterprise Grade Security

- Fine-grained RBAC so you control which agents and users can access Sourcegraph
- Scoped, least privilege access to Sourcegraph resources
- Full audit trail of agent actions to support review and compliance
