Can my agent work with issues and pull requests in Sourcegraph?

Yes. It can open and comment on issues, review pull requests, manage labels, and read project details when you ask. Teams use it to triage incoming work, draft release notes, and post a summary of what changed without leaving chat.

Do I need to write code or manage Sourcegraph API keys?

No code and no API keys. You authorize Sourcegraph through a normal sign in and Operator handles the connection, so there is nothing to wire up or host.

Your agent reaches Sourcegraph directly or through connectors like Composio MCP and Pipedream MCP, which handle the sign in and token refresh for you, so there is nothing to wire up and no API keys to paste.
