Codacy MCP Server

MCP Server for the Codacy API, enabling access to repositories, files, quality, coverage, security and more.

Features

Tools

The following tools are available through the Codacy MCP Server:

Repository Management

• codacy_list_repositories: List repositories in an organization with pagination support.

Code Quality and Analysis

• codacy_list_repository_issues: Lists and filters code quality issues in a repository. This is the primary tool for investigating general code quality concerns (e.g. best practices, performance, complexity, style) but NOT security issues. For security-related issues, use the SRM items tool instead. Features include:

  • Pagination support for handling large result sets
  • Filtering by multiple criteria including severity, category, and language
  • Author-based filtering for accountability
  • Branch-specific analysis
  • Pattern-based searching

  Common use cases:

  • Code quality audits
  • Technical debt assessment
  • Style guide compliance checks
  • Performance issue investigation
  • Complexity analysis

File Management

• codacy_list_files: List files in a repository with pagination support.
• codacy_get_file_issues: Get the issue list for a file in a repository.
• codacy_get_file_coverage: Get coverage information for a file in the head commit of a repository branch.

Security Analysis

• codacy_list_srm_items: Primary tool to list security items/issues/vulnerabilities/findings. Results are related to the organization security and risk management (SRM) dashboard on Codacy. Provides comprehensive security analysis including:

  • SAST (Code scanning)
  • Secrets (Secret scanning)
  • SCA (Dependency scanning)
  • IaC (Infrastructure-as-code scanning)
  • CICD (CI/CD scanning)
  • DAST (Dynamic Application Security Testing)
  • PenTesting (Penetration testing)

  Use this as the first tool when investigating security or compliance concerns.

Pull Request Analysis

• codacy_list_repository_pull_requests: List pull requests from a repository that the user has access to. You can search this endpoint for either last-updated (default), impact or merged.
• codacy_list_pull_request_issues: Returns a list of issues found in a pull request. We can request either new or fixed issues.
• codacy_get_repository_pull_request_files_coverage: Get coverage information for all files in a pull request.
• codacy_get_pull_request_git_diff: Returns the human-readable Git diff of a pull request.

CLI Analysis

• codacy_cli_analyze: Uses Codacy's command-line tool to analyze code.

Usage

In supported IDEs like VS Code, Cursor, and Windsurf, the easiest way to install Codacy's MCP Server is to do it from the Codacy extension. If you haven't yet, install the extension from within your IDE, or from any of the available marketplaces (Microsoft, OpenVSX). From the extension panel, just click on Add Codacy MCP Server. Restart your IDE afterwards.

Without the extension, you can still use and install the MCP Server:

Cursor, Windsurf, and others

Depending on what you are connecting the MCP Server to, you can use the following methods:

• Cursor: edit the .cursor/mcp.json file to add the following
• Windsurf: edit the .codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json file to add the following
• Claude Desktop: edit the claude_desktop_config.json file to add the following

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "codacy": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@codacy/codacy-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "CODACY_ACCOUNT_TOKEN": "<YOUR_TOKEN>"
      }
    }
  }
}

VS Code with Copilot

For connecting the MCP Server to Copilot in VS Code, add the following to the global config of the IDE:

{
    "mcp": {
        "inputs": [],
        "servers": {
            "codacy": {
                "command": "npx",
                "args": [
                  "-y",
                  "@codacy/codacy-mcp"
                ],
                "env": {
                  "CODACY_ACCOUNT_TOKEN": "<YOUR_TOKEN>"
                }
              }
        }
    }
}

You can find the global settings.json file in the following places, according to your OS:

• for macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/settings.json
• for Windows: %APPDATA%\Code\User\settings.json
• for Linux: ~/.config/Code/User/settings.json

Make sure you have Agent mode enabled: vscode://settings/chat.agent.enabled

Node Troubleshooting

When using NVM with Claude Desktop, NPX may not work. You should first install the MCP Server globally, and then use Node directly:

npm install -g @codacy/codacy-mcp

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "codacy": {
      "command": "/Users/yourusername/.nvm/versions/node/vXX.X.X/bin/node",
      "args": ["/path-to/codacy-mcp/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "CODACY_ACCOUNT_TOKEN": "<YOUR_TOKEN>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Build

Local:

npm install
npm run update-api
npm run build

Codacy-CLI Support (WIP)

In order to use the Codacy-CLI, it needs to be installed.
