Sourced MCP Server

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. Its 3 documented tools cluster into read & search, grep, glob. It is available as a remote MCP endpoint.

Teams that want a hosted coding agent endpoint instead of running a local process. The project is written in Python.

01 · Install Sourced

Claude Code

claude mcp add ryancodrai-sourced --transport http https://mcp.sourced.dev/mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ryancodrai-sourced": {
      "url": "https://mcp.sourced.dev/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as remote - your agent's requests go to mcp.sourced.dev

license MIT - declared in the repository

registry vendor namespace dev.sourced - domain-verified with the official MCP registry

03 · What Sourced can do

Prose above is summarized from the project's README and registry record - no invented capabilities.

What you can build

With this server connected, an agent can read a file from a package's source code with line numbers, search for a regex pattern across a package's source tree, and find files matching a glob pattern within a package.
