## Description

The Sourcebot MCP server enables AI assistants to interface directly with Sourcebot's code search capabilities. Developed by Taqla Inc., this implementation provides tools for searching across repositories from various code hosts including GitHub, GitLab, Gitea, Gerrit, and Bitbucket. The server exposes a structured API for executing code searches with advanced filtering options, retrieving file contents, and navigating repository structures. Built on Node.js with a PostgreSQL database and Redis for job queuing, it supports multi-branch indexing, authentication, and parallel processing for efficient code retrieval. It's particularly valuable for developers who need to explore large codebases through natural language queries without switching contexts.
