| 12 | <summary>Security best practices</summary> |
| 13 | |
| 14 | > 🔒 **Important**: Your SonarQube token is a sensitive credential. Follow these security practices: |
| 15 | |
| 16 | **When using CLI commands:** |
| 17 | - **Avoid hardcoding tokens** in command-line arguments – they get saved in shell history |
| 18 | - **Use environment variables** – set tokens in environment variables before running commands |
| 19 | |
| 20 | **When using configuration files:** |
| 21 | - **Never commit tokens** to version control |
| 22 | - **Use environment variable substitution** in config files when possible |
| 23 | |
| 24 | </details> |
| 25 | |
| 26 | ### 🚀 Generate your configuration |
| 27 | |
| 28 | The fastest way to get started is the **[SonarQube MCP Server Configuration Generator](https://mcp.sonarqube.com/config-generator.html)** – an interactive tool that produces a ready-to-use configuration for your preferred AI agent client. |
| 29 | |
| 30 | ### Manual setup |
| 31 | |
| 32 | If you prefer to configure things yourself, the simplest method is to use our container image at [sonarsource/sonarqube-mcp](https://hub.docker.com/r/sonarsource/sonarqube-mcp/tags). Use `sonarsource/sonarqube-mcp` for automatic updates (with `--pull=always`), or pin to a version tag (e.g., `sonarsource/sonarqube-mcp:1.19.0.2785`) for reproducible deployments. Read below if you want to build it locally. |
| 33 | |
| 34 | > **Note:** While the examples below use `docker`, any OCI-compatible container runtime works (e.g., Podman, nerdctl). Simply replace `docker` with your preferred tool. |

| 39 | SonarQube MCP Server is available in the Antigravity MCP Store. Follow these instructions: |
| 40 | |
| 41 | 1. Open the **Agent Side Panel** |
| 42 | 2. Click the three dots (**...**) at the top right and select **MCP Servers** |
| 43 | 3. Search for `SonarQube` and select **Install** |
| 44 | 4. Provide the required SonarQube User token. You can also provide your organization key for SonarQube Cloud or the SonarQube URL if connecting to SonarQube Server. |
| 45 | |
| 46 | For **SonarQube Cloud US**, set the URL to `https://sonarqube.us`. |
| 47 | |
| 48 | Alternatively, you can manually configure the server via `mcp_config.json`: |
| 49 | |
| 50 | * To connect with SonarQube Cloud: |
| 51 | |
| 52 | In the Agent Side Panel, click the three dots (**...**) -> **MCP Store** -> **Manage MCP Servers** -> **View raw config**, and add the following: |
| 53 | |
| 54 | ```json |
| 55 | { |
| 56 | "mcpServers": { |
| 57 | "sonarqube": { |
| 58 | "command": "docker", |
| 59 | "args": ["run", "--init", "--pull=always", "-i", "--rm", "-e", "SONARQUBE_TOKEN", "-e", "SONARQUBE_ORG", "sonarsource/sonarqube-mcp"], |
| 60 | "env": { |
| 61 | "SONARQUBE_TOKEN": "<YOUR_TOKEN>", |
| 62 | "SONARQUBE_ORG": "<YOUR_ORG>" |
| 63 | } |
| 64 | } |
| 65 | } |
| 66 | } |
| 67 | ``` |
| 68 | |
| 69 | For **SonarQube Cloud US**, manually add `"SONARQUBE_URL": "https://sonarqube.us"` to the `env` section and `"-e", "SONARQUBE_URL"` to the `args` array. |
| 70 | |
| 71 | * To connect with SonarQube Server: |
| 72 | |
| 73 | ```json |
| 74 | { |
| 75 | "mcpServers": { |
| 76 | "sonarqube": { |
| 77 | "command": "docker", |
| 78 | "args": ["run", "--init", "--pull=always", "-i", "--rm", "-e", "SONARQUBE_TOKEN", "-e", "SONARQUBE_URL", "sonarsource/sonarqube-mcp"], |
| 79 | "env": { |
| 80 | "SONARQUBE_TOKEN": "<YOUR_USER_TOKEN>", |
| 81 | "SONARQUBE_URL": "<YOUR_SERVER_URL>" |
| 82 | } |
| 83 | } |
| 84 | } |
