summary: >-
  Sourcebot publishes a live, hosted public demo instance you can explore without deploying —
  it indexes a set of public repositories and exposes the full search/navigation UI (and the
  same REST + MCP surface at app.sourcebot.dev). This functions as a read-only playground for
  the API; there are no separate test/live key modes because Sourcebot is self-hosted.

notes: >-
  No published test cards / magic values (not a payments or comms API). Try-before-deploy is
  the demo instance; a full local instance is a single Docker container.
