SonarQube MCP Server runs as a local Docker container, central host, or JAR and connects IDE agents like Cursor, VS Code or CLI assistants to SonarQube Cloud or self‑hosted servers to run actual scans. Available MCP tools include get project quality gate status, search sonar issues in project and analyze file list. Demo shows scanning lines 1–140 and finding unreachable code at lines 136 and 140, removing those lines locally, rescanning without CI and observing the quality gate move from error while critical findings remain, so the integration works end to end.
