How src.land fits in.
Honest side-by-sides with the tools engineers already know. Every comparison covers what changes, what stays familiar, and where src.land adds something new.
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.
