Sourced

Official

by RyanCodrai · Python

Source code search for every package on PyPI and npm.

This MCP server provides source code search for packages across PyPI and npm. The server description states it enables coding agents to access dependency source code directly. Repository metadata indicates it is MCP-compatible and focused on searching code associated with published packages.

🛠️ Key Features

Source code search for every package on PyPI and npm
MCP-compatible service
Readme indicates support for coding agents accessing dependency source code directly

🚀 Use Cases

Find and inspect dependency source code for Python packages on PyPI
Find and inspect dependency source code for JavaScript packages on npm

⚡ Developer Benefits

Direct access to dependency source code via an MCP-compatible interface
Centralized discovery across PyPI and npm packages

⚠️ Limitations

Documentation excerpt does not specify available tools, query parameters, or response formats

Sourced.dev

Source code search for every package on PyPI and npm.

Sourced.dev provides coding agents with direct access to dependency source code through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Instead of relying on training data or web searches, agents can read, search, and navigate the actual source of any package — as if it were on your local machine.

Currently tracking all 800,000+ Python packages and all 3,000,000+ npm packages. New releases are indexed within 5 minutes of publication.

Quick Start

Install the MCP server in one command. It authenticates via GitHub and configures your coding agents automatically:

curl -sL sourced.dev/install | sh

The installer will:

Authorize with GitHub.
Create an API key.
Configure the MCP server for your selected agents.

Restart your coding agents after installation to start using Sourced.

Supported Agents

The following coding agents are supported out of the box:

Capabilities

Sourced.dev exposes the following tools to your coding agent via MCP:

Tool	Description
`read`	Read a file from a package's source code with line numbers.
`grep`	Search for a regex pattern across a package's source tree.
`glob`	Find files matching a glob pattern within a package.

All tools accept an ecosystem (e.g. pypi, npm), a package_name, and an optional version (defaults to latest).

Ecosystem Support

PyPI — 800,000+ packages
npm — 3,000,000+ packages
Maven/Gradle — planned
RubyGems — planned
Crates.io (Rust) — planned
