Detailed comparisons

  • vs GitHub

    Similar interface. Queryable code graph and per-push audit rows added.

    • Built-in knowledge graph on every push
    • Real MCP protocol tools, not webhooks
    • Append-only audit log with agent attribution
    • Single binary, no SaaS required
  • vs GitLab

    Lighter footprint. Knowledge graph and scoped agent access instead of CI modules.

    • One Go binary vs. a multi-service cluster
    • MCP-first agent access over a REST gateway
    • Queryable symbol graph built into push
    • BYO-LLM with no bundled runner overhead
  • vs Sourcegraph

    Search built in. No separate cluster to deploy or keep synchronized.

    • Knowledge graph rebuilt on push, not batch
    • Code search via MCP, not a proprietary API
    • Combined git host and queryable index
    • Audit rows tie every query to an identity

Other self-hosted alternatives

  • Gitea / Forgejo

    Lightweight Git hosts with no built-in code indexing. src.land adds a queryable symbol graph and MCP server without replacing what they do for pure hosting.

  • Bitbucket

    Atlassian-tied hosting with Jira integration. src.land is integration-agnostic and includes an issues tracker, knowledge graph, and audit log in the base install.

  • Azure DevOps

    Microsoft-centric CI/CD platform. src.land is a self-contained Git host focused on code intelligence and agent access, not a build pipeline hub.

  • Self-hosted bare Git

    Plain git-daemon or SSH access. src.land wraps bare Git with a code graph, web UI, issues, audit log, and MCP tools while preserving the same push workflow.
