Solutions | Agent effectiveness
Higher accuracy. Faster execution. Fewer tokens.
Most agent failures are context failures. Sourcegraph MCP gives coding agents the right context across massive codebases at the right time, delivering higher accuracy, 38% faster execution, and 30% token savings.

Benchmarked on real, large-scale codebases
CodeScaleBench evaluates coding agents across 370 tasks spanning 40+ open-source repositories and 9 languages, comparing the same agent with and without Sourcegraph MCP retrieval tools. Read the full report →

Faster, cheaper file discovery for agents
On a benchmark of file-finding tasks across repositories from small to very large, Code Finder reached comparable result quality while finishing faster and costing less than a coding agent doing the search itself. Read the benchmark →

Most agent failures are context failures, not model failures
When an agent can't see across repositories, it improvises: hallucinating file paths, missing dependencies, and shipping incomplete fixes with total confidence. Sourcegraph MCP gives agents precise, cross-repository code intelligence, so they retrieve real answers instead of guessing them. See how Sourcegraph MCP works →

One prompt, two agents: one with only local file access, one with Sourcegraph MCP. Only one of them finds everything. See the full comparison →
I'll add a Role field to the User struct and update the store methods.|
Done! I've added:
- Role field to the User struct
- Updated Create and Update to persist the role
- Added a GetByRole query method
This is a cross-cutting change. Here's my plan:|
Complete. All layers updated, tests passing. Full diff ready for review.|
How teams use Sourcegraph to make agents effective
Debugging and incident response
Agents trace an incident across every affected repository, following real dependencies and commit history instead of guessing at root cause.
Cross-repo refactors and migrations
Agents can follow API and library dependencies across repos, so proposed changes land correctly on the first try.
Onboarding and codebase navigation
New agents get instant, accurate answers to "where is X and how does it work" instead of stale docs and outdated assumptions.
Platform capabilities that make agents effective
Code Search. Deterministic, exhaustive search across every repository and code host.
Deep Search. AI agent that answers complex questions about scope, blast radius, and architecture.
Sourcegraph MCP. Standardized retrieval tools that give any MCP-aware agent precise, cross-repository context.
SCIP Code Intelligence. Symbol-level precision across languages, with accurate go-to-definition, find-references, and dependency resolution.
