SonarQube — List Projects
List SonarQube projects accessible to the authenticated user. Useful for discovering project keys before running other skills.
Usage
sonar-list-projects # list accessible projects
sonar-list-projects my-project # search by name (partial) or key (exact)
sonar-list-projects --page 2 # next page of results
sonar-list-projects --page-size 100 # limit page size
Prerequisites
This skill requires the SonarQube MCP Server to be configured and the tool mcp__sonarqube__search_my_sonarqube_projects to be available in your session.
If a tool fails due to authentication problems, ask the user to ensure they have given their consent for automatic token exchange through SonarQube Cloud > My Account > Access Tokens > Agent Apps. Otherwise surface the tool error verbatim and stop.
Instructions
Step 1: Parse arguments
- The first non-flag argument (if present) is the search term and maps to
q.
--page <n> maps to page (string, defaults to 1).
--page-size <n> maps to pageSize (integer 1–500, defaults to 500).
Step 2: Validate arguments
| Argument | Allowed pattern / values |
|---|
| search term | ^[a-zA-Z0-9_\-\. ]+$ |
--page | positive integer |
--page-size | integer 1–500 |
If a value fails validation, stop and tell the user what was rejected — do not run the call.
Step 3: Call mcp__sonarqube__search_my_sonarqube_projects
{
"q": "<search-term>",
"page": "<n>",
"pageSize": <n>
}
Omit any field the user did not provide.
Step 4: Format the results
If projects are found:
## SonarQube Projects
Found **8 project(s)**:
| Project key | Name |
| ----------------- | --------------- |
| my-org_backend | Backend Service |
| my-org_frontend | Frontend App |
| my-org_shared-lib | Shared Library |
If no projects are found:
## SonarQube Projects
No projects found.
If more results are likely (response is full to pageSize): "Showing page N. Use --page <n+1> to see more, or pass a search term to narrow results."
Step 5: Next steps
- To list issues: "Invoke the sonar-list-issues skill with the project key, or rely on the MCP integration default."
- To check the quality gate: "Invoke the sonar-quality-gate skill — add a project key only if you are not using the MCP integration default."
