Fast search, fewer tokens

Agents connected over MCP read only the lines that answer their question, with up to 50× fewer tokens than cloning and grepping (token usage).

Sourcegull uses a trigram index of its own. After a push, only the changed paths are written to a delta shard, so new commits are searchable within seconds without rebuilding the repository's index. Small repositories are packed together into compound shards, which keeps instances with thousands of repositories fast. Revisions that are not indexed (any branch, tag or commit) are searched straight from git. Results stream as they are found.

How it compares with the alternatives on the same GitLab: Benchmark.

Everything is free

Every feature is in this repository under Apache-2.0. There is no enterprise edition, no licence key and no paid tier, and the project will not add one. That includes the features that other code search products usually sell separately:

Single sign-on with GitLab, GitHub or Gitea OAuth, OpenID Connect or an authenticating proxy (HTTP header), and SCIM provisioning.

Roles (RBAC), repository permissions synced from GitLab and enforced on every read, and an audit log.

Precise code navigation from SCIP indexes, across repositories and package versions, uploaded from GitLab CI or built by auto-indexing, with search-based results filling in for repositories that are not indexed.

Bulk changes: one YAML spec changes many repositories, then opens and tracks the GitLab merge requests.

Trends, watches and exhaustive search jobs with CSV/JSONL export.

Repository storage across several repo nodes, added or removed without downtime.

Usage analytics that stay on the instance.

An MCP server for AI coding agents.

Also included: literal, regexp, keyword (BM25) and structural search; notebooks; code ownership; saved searches and search conte
