What it does

Sourcerer is an MCP server that indexes a git repository and lets an AI agent search it by meaning. Instead of reading whole files, the agent jumps straight to the functions, classes and code chunks it needs. It uses OpenAI embeddings and keeps its index in a local folder.

Use cases

  1. 01Find where a payment rule is implemented in a large codebase
  2. 02Let an agent locate the right function before editing it
  3. 03Explore an unfamiliar repository by concept, not file name
