Quick Start
The SonarQube MCP server runs remotely at https://sonarqube-mcp.bitso.io/mcp and is automatically configured in all supported IDEs.
No setup required - just use natural language:
"Find BLOCKER issues in my-project"
"Show me details about rule java:S1128"
"What's the quality gate status for my-service?"
"What files have the lowest coverage in my-project?"
"Search for security hotspots in my-service"
"Find duplicated files in my-project"
"Analyze this code for SonarQube issues"

Common Workflows
1. Fix Issues by Severity
"Find all BLOCKER issues in payment-service"
"Show me the rule java:S2259"
"What's the quality gate status for my-service?"
2. Check Coverage
"What files have the lowest coverage in my-service?"
"Show me line-by-line coverage for src/main/java/PaymentService.java"
"What's the coverage for PR #247 in my-service?"
3. Review Security Hotspots
"Search for security hotspots to review in payment-service"
"Show me details about this security hotspot"
"Mark this hotspot as safe with comment: verified input is sanitized"
4. Analyze Duplications
"Find the most duplicated files in my-service"
"Show duplication details for this file"
5. Understand Rules
"Explain rule java:S1128 (unused imports)"
"What are the BLOCKER rules for Java?"
