Sourced is a remote MCP server that lets coding agents read, grep, and glob the source code of any PyPI or npm package.

About

Sourced is a hosted MCP server that gives coding agents direct access to the source code of every package on PyPI and npm. A developer points Claude Code, Cursor, or another agent at the remote endpoint to read, grep, and glob a dependency's real source instead of relying on training data or cloning tarballs. It exposes read, grep, and glob tools that take an ecosystem, package name, and optional version. It tracks 800,000+ Python and 3,000,000+ npm packages and indexes new releases within 5 minutes of publication.

Search and read source of 800k+ PyPI and 3M+ npm packages over a remote MCP endpoint
Exposes read, grep, and glob tools scoped by ecosystem, package, and version
Hosted streamable-HTTP server; new releases indexed within 5 minutes

What it does

Let a coding agent read, grep, and glob the actual source of any PyPI or npm package instead of guessing from training data.

Who is it for?

Developers who want an agent to read a dependency's real implementation before or while integrating it.

Skip if: Ecosystems beyond PyPI and npm today; Maven, RubyGems, and Crates.io are only planned.

What you get

The agent reads, greps, and globs the exact source of any PyPI or npm package as if it were local.

Agent read/grep/glob access to package source code

By the numbers

800,000+ PyPI packages and 3,000,000+ npm packages
3 tools: read, grep, glob
New releases indexed within 5 minutes of publication

README.md

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.
